Tests!

All sixth graders will have a math test next week.

Students in first period will have a test on Wednesday covering fractions & decimals. Then we will start a unit on data & graphing, which will include a project using data we collect about ourselves.

Students in periods 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6 will have a test on Wednesday covering chapter 1. Our next unit will include measurement, perimeter and area, and scale drawings.

Our Homebase is working hard on our poster!

Some thoughts about organization

All sixth graders should have a binder that includes a folder for each subject, as well as 4 spiral notebooks. All loose papers belong in the folder for the subject. For example, a social studies handout goes in the social studies folder. One of the spirals should be designated for math and math only. All math notes and math homework (unless it is a handout) go in the math notebook. Students who follow these guidelines will have an easier time finding what they need.

Some thoughts about homework

Students should be sure to keep their notebooks organized with homework done on the next blank page. All homework assignments should have the assignment written at the top of the page. Homework problems should be corrected nightly. Students who follow these steps should be able to earn an easy "A" when homework checks are given.
Homework assignments can be found via the district website: click on Lakeview, click on 6th grade, click on 6th grade homework. Homework assignments since the beginning of the year, in all subject areas, can be found there.
