Newsletter for September 7
- It was great to see so many of you at Back to School Night last week. Thanks for coming and showing an interest in your child’s education! If you were there and did not get your $25 classroom money, send in a note with your child.
- The first schedule-planner/reading log was due signed and turned in today. If your child did not turn it in today, please have him/her bring it in tomorrow. This is important and part of the English grade.
- Everyone should now have an award-winning book or classic book to be reading outside of class (in English). All students will be doing a book report at the end of the month on this book. Students may use this book for the required 30 minutes of English reading per day.
- If you would like to borrow a CD of the math textbook (5th or 6th) for viewing on your home computer, have your student check one out from me. We have a license to copy the CDs, and it is much easier than carrying the math book home every day.
- If you can buy us a new computer to donate (tax deductible) to the classroom, or know someone with an employee discount, we could really use some. Our Macs are 10 years old and barely work. Windows machines are welcome.
- Our next vocabulary quiz will be next Monday or Tuesday.
- We sent home a survey paper with 6th graders today about the Yosemite trip. We need to know how many people are planning to go, and how you will pay. Please return this survey no later than Friday, because if we are going, we have to hire our bus now, and make a deposit to the Yosemite Institute soon.
- There will be a 6th grade math quiz on Wednesday on the material we have learned in chapter 1.
