CLASS UPDATE
A huge thanks goes out to those who generously gave class donations. I used the generous donations for class curriculum, 2 ipads to be used daily by the class, and two used iMac G4 Computers.

Dear 6th Grade Parent, School is in full-swing and we have already begun working on the end-of-the-year 6th grade slideshow. For those of you who have not attended a 6th grade promotion ceremony, the slideshow is a highly anticipated event, documenting how the kids have changed, from kindergarten to now.  In order for this project to be a success, we need the following photos from all of you: 1. Kindergarten picture:  please send 1-2 of your favorite pictures of your child  as a kindergartener. This picture does not have to be from Rio Del Mar but should be a  picture of your child alone. 2. Friend pictures for Recreations:  please send as many great photos as you’ve got of  your child and friends (group shots will be re-enacted with 6th graders).  These photos  should be of your children between the ages of 5-7 in a group of 2 or more. These do not  need to be photos taken at Rio but hopefully of students who are now in Rio’s 6th grade.  Our goal is to represent as many children as possible but we can only do this with your help. These pictures are due to Mr. Kyle, or Mary or Veronica, by October 1st. We ask that you send them to us in digital format (either via email or on a CD or flash drive). We need a 4x6 photo at 300dpi or larger. If you do not have these photos in digital format, we can scan them for you.  They can be dropped off to the front office or brought to Mr. Kyle, in an envelope, with your child’s name and your phone number and email address written on the envelope. We will then scan these photos and return them to you, via your child or the front office, whichever you used.    OR    You can bring your photos to yearbook class at 3:15pm in Rio’s computer lab on Monday Sept 23rd or 30th and pick them up at 4:15 that same day after class. You can stay and be involved in the scanning process if you like. We understand your child’s photos are precious. If you have any questions, please let us know. We look forward to creating an amazing photo  memory of the class of 2014.

This week we will start reading Bridge to Terabithia together and this will have spelling vocabulary that each child will learn through the coming weeks.

Math-We will be going deeper in fractions and learning how they relate to decimals in Chapter 4.

Science-This week we kick off our challenging unit of study about the Periodic Table of Elements. They will learn some catchy songs to help them memorize each of the first 10 elements and the entire table for extra credit.

CLASS UPDATE!

First off, thank you to all the parents that have already shown up to volunteer. You are making a huge impact and are truly helping me juggle two sets of curriculum effectively. Parents who are class volunteers/drivers: Please get your Fingerprints done this week at Rio. As Mrs. Dorney stated in the message, you can get your prints done for free any day this week. I recommend getting your TB test as well this week as we are going on our field trip the following Thursday, September 12th. The good news is that this is a one-time process and once completed, you should be cleared to be a volunteer at Rio/Aptos Jr. High/Aptos High School. Insurance paperwork is due to the office this Friday.

Here are the drivers for next week:

JJ Hamlyn (6)
Cheryl Johnson (5)
Stephanie Chamberlain (5)
Katie Cox (5)
Ben Slyder (4)
Tammy Abraham (5)
Amy Danish (4)

Mr. Sweet

Week of August 26th-August 30th

Class Update!

5th Grade-
Last  week our class has kicked off our study of "Nature's Fury" by reading a story entitled Earthquake Terror. Our ELA wkbk pages connect to the this story and will be done, both at home, and in class. This week we will read "Eye of the Storm" about Storm Chasing photography.

In writing our class will be finishing our first 5-paragraph essays about our summer and they look great thus far. The class seems to have a good understanding of organization, neatness and detail in their writing.

In Math we are reviewing Chapter 1 in HM focusing on Factors, Prime Factorization and Greatest Common Factors.

In American History we have kicked off our Unit of Study on Explorers and Cultures Meeting. It will be exciting as we study the great explorers throughout our history that were not covered in 4th Grade.

We will have Spelling and Vocabulary this week. Study Pre-Test for the test on Friday.

Sign and return the NASA field trip forms. If you intend to drive you need to fill out the Insurance Paperwork in the office.

6th Grade
Last week, as you know, our class began reading Hatchet together. Our Spelling and Vocab will come from this book and we will continue comprehension checks along the way. They are definitely into this book! We won't begin RTI until 9/30, from my understanding.

In Math 6th graders will continue working on Integers in CGP while exploring Lines/Angles, Fractions/Percents in Saxon. They are doing very well thus far adapting to the new, and very challenging, CGP. (This math has been affectionately referred to by other 6th grade teachers as standing for "Confusing Good People" ) ;-)

In Writing we are finishing up Name Acrostic Art and our 3 Passions Essay.

Ancient Civilization-We kicked off our Unit of Study on Pre-Historical Man and saw the "7 Wonders of the Ancient World" on Friday.

Sign and return the NASA field trip forms. If you intend to drive you need to fill out the Insurance Paperwork in the office.
