Hello everyone! Thank you for coming out to 6th Grade Parent Night! I have posted the presentation for your review below. In the upcoming weeks ahead, we will continue to read Number the Stars with a focus on craft and structure (aka author's purpose). Here are some helpful craft and structure related questions to ask your student: (best asked after they reread the assigned chapter)
B. cause and effect C. definition and description D. compare and contrast
As mentioned during Parent Night, we will continue to compose, edit, post and publish blog posts related to our novels. RTI groups have begun meeting on Monday and Friday each week from 2:00 until 2:30. If your student is not in RTI, they will be meeting in Mr. Acosta's room. This is a fantastic time to read a book, complete homework, or catch up on assignments or missing work. Upcoming Events 9.16 Interim Reports Go Home (They do not need to be signed and returned.) 9.19 NO SCHOOL! 9.21 SAC Meeting 9.30 Walk-a-Thon Kickoff As always, please email me with any questions or concerns! ([email protected]) Have a FANTASTIC three day weekend!

Greetings everyone! Did you know our school encourages healthy families through the Morning Mile? Our tradition will continue starting September 12 at 7:30 am. This year we will be using the new track! There is a PDF below with more information. Our first novel has come to an end. We will be reading Number the Stars next. I will be introducing the concepts of WWII in class. Please discourage your students from researching these evens on their own. We are providing enough background to understand the events in the story without going into too much detail. If you have any questions at all please email me any time ([email protected]). Student pictures are being done on September 16th. Order forms are coming home on the 9th. Look for a reminder flyer to come home on September 15th. Important Dates:
