I am sorry I haven’t gotten this sheet out for two weeks… Life has a way of being hectic, with illness and being out for a three-day training. But, we’re back in business! We have started a new theme for language arts called “Discovering Ancient Cultures” which ties into our history nicely. This next story is all about the Great Wall of China. In our history class, we are wrapping up ancient Israel and moving onto ancient India. As a culminating activity for the end of the India Unit, the entire sixth grade will be embarking on an exciting activity that involves a mock court trial. All students will have a job and then we will tape our “court proceedings.” In math, we are wrapping up our unit on Algebra (although we will continually come back to it). Our next unit is mostly on Probability. In science, we are beginning to study volcanoes, which is always a fun topic. Report Cards are going out March 9th. This weekend, I will be grading, grading, and then grading some more. I will be giving out a grade printout to your son or daughter on Monday. If they have any missing work or makeup assignments, make sure they turn it in by Friday, March 2nd for credit. No work will be accepted after that point for the Second Trimester. Dates to Remember: - Grade Printouts coming home this Monday, 2/27 - Star Student Assembly, Thursday, March 1st - Unit 6 Test: Thursday, March 1st - Reading Logs due: Thursday, March 1st I hope you have a nice weekend. 668-5744 x2403 If you need to contact me, please feel free to call or email me at: Jennifer.Rambo@lmsvsd.k12.ca.us Have a relaxing weekend filled with family time!
