Grades: I have FINALLY completed and entered all hunger game projects in PowerSchool. I just want to say how much I appreciate your patience with this! There were a lot of components to cover. Students got the hard copy of their rubrics back today as well as their pictures. Many students either forgot to share documents with me in Google or forgot to put their name on things. If you see on their rubric that something is missing, please have them get it to me by Friday. There will be no late deduction for this.
Presentations started today. Due to the large crowd of anxious students this morning, I gave students an extra minute for their presentation. If your child did not present today, please review their slide show with them tonight to make sure they have all parts of the rubric covered. Students also have to complete two different peer evaluations during presentations as well. This will be the last grade of the quarter. Upcoming Track-Out: I just wanted to give a heads up that our next unit, "What's the Matter?" is probably the most difficult unit in 6th grade science for most students. During my workday Monday, I will be posting the objectives and review materials if you would like to front-load with your student in order to better prepare them for next quarter. This is not required and will not be taken as a grade or extra credit. These will just be some extra materials that can be used to give your child a head start for the next unit. If you have any questions, feel free to send me an e-mail! Otherwise, have an excellent track-out! :)

Only a few weeks left until track out, and we have a lot to do! Just a reminder, we have a field trip coming up next Monday! We will be sending home more information about our trip this week.
In science, we will also be starting our next Major this week. It will be a research project. This will not be due until we are back from Thanksgiving break. Students will be getting their directions packets on Wednesday and we will be in the LLC to conduct research Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday this week. Students will have a "pop quiz" minor this week that will cover their notes on the food chains, food webs, and energy pyramid. If they have misplaced their notes, have them review the videos linked in Google Classroom. We are in the home stretch! Make sure that we are finishing strong by continuing to review notes nightly and keeping caught up with our work. |

Volunteer?For some of our projects this year, I will be asking for parent volunteers. If you already know that you would like to volunteer in the future, please contact me. Otherwise, the need for parent volunteers will be included in the weekly update. Thank you! :) Archives
