Dear Parents and students,
I hope all the mothers were spoiled yesterday! A big thank you to all of the parents and students for their kind, thoughtful, and heartfelt letters, flowers and generous gifts last week. Thank you "Joaquin" and Hannah for the amazing breakfast and lunch deliveries last week. It is an honor be your 6th grade teacher this year and it means a bunch to be valued by y'all.

Here is a brief update about this busy week:

ELA-We are finishing up Anne of Green Gables along with a comprehension packet and vocabulary.
MATH-We are reviewing with Khan Math and Blookets as we have finished our book!
WRITING-We are finishing our rough drafts and slideshows for our Arguments.
HISTORY-We are learning about Ancient Greece and City State Projects along with Competing in the Greek Games.
ART-We are creating Greek City State Banners. Thanks to Ross Sheehan, we are finishing painting our 6th Grade Legacy Tile Projects that will be put up in the cafeteria. 

International Games will be held this Thursday, May 15th, and about half of the class will be meeting at the regular time and departing for Soquel High School. I will post the order of events on my website so you can see your child compete. Track events are in the morning, field events are in the afternoon.

Open House will be Thursday, May 22nd 6-7pm. We will have 2 students sharing Graduation speeches, Argument Slide Shows, a few class songs, and our projects showcased on our desks.
