Dear Parents and Students,

Welcome back to school! I will send emails occasionally, but the majority of our communication will be through my class website at: http://mrsweetriodelmar.blogspot.com. Please bookmark it and try to check-in regularly when you find the time. I sent my first parent letter home the first week of school so hopefully you were able to read it. Here is a link in case you never received it: Mr. Sweet Parent Letter

Our first couple days back in the classroom have gone really well getting to know each other, establishing procedures, reviewing rules, setting goals and expectations. These 31 students are a motivated bunch and we have gotten A LOT done already. Here are a few things coming soon next week….

• Reading our first book, Hatchet, with comprehension and thematic lessons. Extra-credit will be handed out for those interested.

• Writing-We begin gathering ideas for our Narrative Writing

• Geography-We are learning about Africa and designing our first map so we can play bingo to learn the countries.

• Math-We played numerous math games last week, reviewed multiplication with speed tests and did a fun “Math About Me” activity. This week we will be learning about Whole Number Operations, Powers and Exponents and Orders of Operations.

• History-We will learn about Prehistoric Humans with some fun thematic activities utilizing Studies Weekly.

Here are a few quick reminders for this week:

• I look forward to seeing you all at  Back to School Night this Thursday, August 21st at 6:00-6:30 pm. Please make every effort to attend this because it will cover a lot of important information about our 6th grade learning journey, including Science Camp, and much more. I will pass out and explain the Science Camp forms at BTSN.

• Supplies-If you haven’t already done so, please check out the list of supplies on the blog and get them for your child, if possible. If not, I should have some extras. 

• An important resource for your 6th grade learner is here for videos, curriculum and review of lessons.6th Grade Resources Link. This is especially helpful when your child is sick, or doesn’t understand a new math concept. That being said, some of my parents need the review too!

• Field Trips-I’m hoping to bring back field trips to our class! Please email me if you would like to drive on a fun learning adventure. Bear in mind that you need to be vaccinated, TB tested, and finger-printed by the district.

Let me know if you have any questions, or concerns and welcome back to the school where kind hearts and open minds rule!

All the best,

Mr. Sweet
