A huge thank you goes out to all of the parents who came to class and shared their college and career experience with our class. It was so fascinating to hear your stories and such diversity of vocations and colleges. This is the highest level of parent involvement I've had in my 20+ years of teaching so hats off to you!
This week we will be having Parent Teacher Conferences all week. PLEASE be on time so it doesn't impact others because many parents have multiple conferences to attend. See schedule below. I appreciated your efforts in completing the Parent Feedback forms and checklist. This will inform our conference.
In reading we will be wrapping up Westing Game this week with Lit Circles. Our Accelerated Reader Goal is due this Friday, November 9th (Our last day of the trimester). Also, each student selected their Book Projects for the 2nd Trimester. These will be due on Wednesday, December 5th.
In writing our class has started our Informational Writing Unit. Please look in the grade book to see your child's grade and feedback from the narrative writing final draft.
In Math we are slowing down to understand more fully the Distributive Property of multiplication.
(3.4)
In Science we will be sharing our Environmental speeches/slide show on Tuesday through Thursday. Students will be given less homework to practice their speech.
Let me know if you have any questions.

Our amazing 6th grade crew has done a fantastic job collecting socks for "Socktober" We have filled our bin 3 times! On Thursday we won the popsicle party for the highest % participation in the Drive for Schools fundraiser. Last report we were ahead by $300 in the total sales in the school...not bad for one of the smallest classes! If this lead holds we will get a pizza party.
On top of this, the class earned their first party of the year so we will be planning the details for next Friday's celebration. Once again, they earned this by good behavior, turning in their assignments, following directions and filling up the class guitar poster.
We are starting off "College Weeks" with a few parents sharing their college and career experiences. Thank you to Brian Brunelli, Allison Fessenden, Peter Curran, and David Pilcher for volunteering to share. I would love a few more, if possible! Students have been investigating colleges and taking career assessments (www.test123.com/career-test) The goal of this project is to get our learners excited about their futures in college and options for their careers. "65% of these kids will get jobs in the future that don't even exist today."
In Writer's Workshop we are starting our final drafts of our Narrative Writing Project. This coming Friday, we will be doing our celebration publication day by sharing with the other 6th grade classes. I will have an Author's Chair for students to volunteer to read their story to the class.
In Math we are starting Chapter 3 focusing on Algebraic Expressions in Big Ideas. In addition, we continue using Khan and Moby Max as supplemental curriculum.
We just finished our first Unit of Study in Science, Energy and Climate. The class was highly engaged in this subject matter and learned the material and applied it in their "Carbon Footprint" plan. Our class is working on their Environmental Studies Project/Speech. These projects are due: Monday, November 5th. I have been giving time every day for this project so hopefully it is an in-class only project. The speeches are due on Wednesday, November 7th.
This week we will be starting to learn more about the Babylonians and Assyrians in History. In addition, we will begin learning the countries in Asia by playing Geography Bingo.
In reading we continue "Westing Game", a class favorite. Students are working in Literature Circles to expand their understanding of the book. Our Accelerated Reading Goals are due by Friday, November 9th.
Finally, I look forward to seeing you at the Parent Teacher Conferences starting on Monday, November 5th. If you haven't signed up, please click the link to the right and pick a slot.-->
See you at the school where kind hearts and open minds rule!
