Dear Parents,
I hope this note finds you well. We were scheduled to have a math test on Friday, but it will be presented tomorrow. It will cover adding/subtracting large numbers, multiplication/division of whole numbers, multiply decimals, statistics including spreadsheets, bar graphs, line plot graphs, frequency tables. I will do a quick review before giving the test. This week I will be starting aftercare on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays which means I will be in the classroom until 6pm. I need a volunteer to take charge of the fall fest activity for the sixth grade. I cannot attend, for I will be out of town that day. However, I will speak with the students for some ideas and try to come up with something that is easily organized and presented. Ideas are welcomed. For the upcoming week, we will have the South America Map, which the students should memorize the location and spelling of each country in South America. We will also be introducing the research project this week with the review of the rubric. Take care, and enjoy the rest of the weekend. Also, the boys should be finishing the questions for Hatchet and completing a book report. The girls are finishing their response books as a form of a book report. The boys and girls will trade books and begin reading Hatchet/Numbering respectively. Steven King
