We have much to do in the last few weeks of school. We will be getting students ready for 7th grade and we will have a reading project due (more to come on this at the end of the week).

 

Vocabulary:  11B, 11-20. All work to be completed by Thursday, test on Friday. This is a  good opportunity to make 100%.

 

Reading:  We are reading, Schooled, by Gordon Korman. Students will complete projects on this book for a grade. A rubric will be given out this week.

 

Grammar:  Perfect Verbs, test on Friday.

 

Math - Cain/Park

Students will continue to work in their Comparing & Scaling books.

 

2nd and 4th periods are currently working on Investigation 2 and will have a quiz once this is completed. These classes will also have Reflection 2 due for a grade.

 

3rd period will have a quiz that will cover Investigation 3.

 

5th period is working toward their Unit Test.

 

Please remind your child that school is not over for four more weeks, and we will continue to work in Math all the way until the last day. Please expect that your child will continue to have homework often, as we still have much material to cover to prepare your child for their 7th grade year. Thanks so much for your support in this matter!

 

Social Studies - Butler

Although we hit the highlights of Australia & Oceania prior to the CRCT, this week we will now return for a closer, more thorough look at this beautiful, far-away land! Among other cultural activities, we will be sampling Vegemite, learning some authentic Australian folk songs, and perhaps even have a visitor or two from the Land Down Under.

 

Expect a pop quiz midweek and our weekly Friday quiz.
