This week in SS we started our first vocabulary activities and began talking about the different elements of social studies that we will use during our lessons on civilizations. This week in ELA -the novel Percy Jackson and the Lighting Thief was distributed to students that returned the student/parent contract. If your child has not asked you to sign a contract, please speak with them because they will not be able to get a book until the contract is signed and returned. If you want to purchase the book for your child it has to be the 2006 paperback edition. We will follow Percy on his journey to discover his true identity and the powers he has within. This is a fun and exciting journey and the students should really enjoy this lesson. In Science-we have finished our Lab Safety Unit and taken our First quiz! Today we had fun participating in a Break Out reinforcing our Lab Safety knowledge. Next week we begin our first Unit-Space! I am proud of the way that your students have adjusted to 6th Grade and how they are on task and engaged in Science Class! In MATH 6 we have been busy looking at Parallelograms. We have learned how to decompose, compose and rearrange them to find their areas.( Ask your child to show you- it is not how we were taught) In MATH 6+ we have studied parallelograms as well as triangles. They have been applying what they know about area of parallelograms to reason about the area of triangles. Ask them to show you...I promise, you did not learn this way:) REMINDERS: PLEASE remember to fill the Information Sheet at the top of this email! It is very important!! 9/18 Picture Day 9/19- NO SCHOOL 9/24- 9/27 Spirit Week 9/27- Tailgate at 4:00PM Game at High School at 6:00PM
