Hello 6th-grade families,

It’s hard to believe that it’s December when the temperature outside is almost 60 degrees! We’ve got 3 more weeks filled with lots of hard work and fun before the start of our Winter Break. A huge thank you to our field trip volunteers for taking the time to stop in at the office to hand in the iChat forms – we could really use 1 or 2 more chaperones if you are able to join us on Friday, December 21. If you can, please have your child let me know and I will send home a copy of the iChat form for you!

Grades have been updated in MiStar. Tomorrow (Monday) I will be sending home a Progress Report with every student. Please look for this paper from your student!

In class this week we will be wrapping up Lesson 7, dividing with fractions. The students have come a long way in their understanding of how to create visual models of this type of division – I’m so proud of them!

Monday – Study Guide for homework

Tuesday – Math Workshop

Wednesday – all middle school math teachers will be attending a Professional Development training. I will be out in the afternoon so we won’t be doing math workshop today. Students will be completing an activity in class.

Thursday – finishing Math Workshop

Friday – Lesson 7 quiz

Thank you for all of your help and support – we are truly a team working toward the success of your child!
