Once again, we are MSTEP testing this week in Sixth Grade Language Arts. I will not be posting to the blog this week with the exception of today. Testing will take place on Wednesday, May 27th and Thursday, May 28th. The students will have their regularly scheduled classes in the afternoon. This time will be allotted for finishing touches on their presentations and to practice presenting to their classmates.
Today the students were given their final class period to work on their Folktale projects. Their presentations will take place this Friday, May 29th. All teams should have their powerpoints and scrapbook pages ready at this time.
In addition to working on the projects in class, the students were given time to work in their vocabulary books. Lesson Ten must be completed by Friday, June 5th. Once students request to have their vocabulary books graded, I will be collecting them for the summer. Their Seventh Grade Language Arts teachers will send them back to me in September to retrieve the books for Seventh Grade. The same thing will happen with the interactive notebooks when I check them on Tuesday, June 2nd. If your child has lost his/her book or decided to purchase one for Seventh Grade, I will be collecting $13 until Friday, June 5th and setting books aside for them for Seventh Grade. If students decide to purchase after this date, they will be responsible for speaking with their new Language Arts teacher in September.
All books rented out from the library are now being collected. The students were given time during Language Arts today to return their borrowed books to the library. They were also given the opportunity to ask Ms. Lindsey if they have any other missing books. All books must be returned by Tuesday, June 9th in order to go to the pool party. If students still have missing books or unpaid fines, they will be ineligible to attend this trip. All of my books are due Wednesday, June 1st. If books have been lost, the students will also have unpaid fines for my class.
Have a wonderful week! We are in the home stretch!
