9/16/11

Students in periods 1 & 4 will have their test Monday, then start our unit on data and graphing next week. This unit will include a project that will ask students to represent data we have collected about them in various ways.
Students in periods 2, 5, and 6 are finishing chapter 1, with our test Friday of next week. We will then start our chapter on measurement.

This week's organization tip: each student should have a folder for each class. This folder should remain in the student's binder. All papers from class that are not in a notebook should go in this folder. If a student uses a homework folder (which I would discourage), the homework assignment should go back in the subject folder once the assignment is returned to the student or discussed in class. Assignments should not remain in a homework folder long-term.

Curriculum Night!

This week's organizational tip: all students should have a math notebook; this notebook should have all notes from math class, as well as all homework assignments (with the exception of assignments that are on handouts); the math notebook should not have any other subject in it.

I look forward to meeting parents at curriculum night, Monday, September 12! The evening starts with a PTO meeting at 6:45.

Sixth grade is off to a fabulous start! We have learned our locker combinations, as well as our schedules. We are learning what supplies we need to have with us and when. We are writing our assignments in our assignment notebooks, and remembering to do our homework. I look forward to a productive year!
Enjoy the long weekend!
