Homework

Homework 

This week I am asking students to complete assignments from class as their homework. We have been reading Freedom Walkers for the past two weeks and have completed a number of activities from the students' Reader's Notebooks. In order to move on to the next story, I am going to ask students to complete the reading and Notebook pages at home and turn them in on Friday.

Here is a list of pages must be completed. Most of this work was supposed to have been completed in class.  If you student is struggling with the reading, please feel free to offer support. This is a challenging text, with a lot of vocabulary and topics new to the kids. 

Student Notebook Pages: 121-130, 132-133, 138,143-144

Thank you for your help in getting this story wrapped up. Please be sure your student takes very good care of their book. It is important that we keep these in good shape for the upcoming years. 

Valentine's Day

Thank you to all the family members who were able to help at this year's Valentine's party. The sixth grade team appreciates all of your support. Thank you also for all the gifts. The thoughtfulness of the kids is touching.

This Week

In social studies, we are continuing our study of ancient China. Students will be writing the scripts, and begin recording, their multi-media presentation on one Chinese dynasty.

In math, we are continuing operations with fractions. Expect homework practicing these skills.

In language arts, we will be starting a new realistic fiction piece and focus on understanding how the author develops theme in their writing. 

In health, we are finishing the chapter on smoking prevention.

Have a great week!
