October 4th to October 8th- Happy Fall

The 6th Grade News


The 6th grade team is looking for parent volunteers. If you are interested, contact your child’s teacher. We would appreciate any help that any parent can give.

Hello to all from the 6th grade team. Things are really moving along so quickly these days. We are already into October and fall is here. It has come to our attention that many students are telling their parents that they never have homework. Well, I just want to clarify this. There is always homework in language from Mrs. Barron. Your child will almost always have daily work for this subject. In math, Ms. Aven sometimes has homework. Many times it is started in class, and if not completed, it will go home as homework. In Ms. Lyn’s class, your child always must read. Ms. Lyn expects the students to read 30 minutes a day. So, read, read, read. If your child needs to check out a book I (Ms. Campbell) have many in my room that can be checked out. And in my room, I sometimes give homework, but it is usually work that is started in class and not completed in class. Please always check your child’s agenda. All teachers will sign by respective subjects. Parents are to sign also. There is a signature line at the bottom of the agenda page. Please make sure you are doing this.

Only two and a half more weeks until parent teacher conferences. Please keep an eye out for sign-up sheets. They will be set for the week of October 18th. Report cards go home on the 21st. If your child needs to improve their grades for this quarter, now is the time to kick it in gear. They must start focusing and concentrating in class. They must complete all assignment, and make up any missing work. This is not too far away, so please keep reminding them that hard work does pay off. They will see it in their grades.

Campbell’s Class

Social Studies- We will continue to read maps this week. This will lead us into prehistory of man. We will be discussing hunter-gatherer societies and early writing.

Elective- We have started a unit on character. We just finished the character trait of Trustworthiness and will begin this week with Caring. I am hoping to create caring posters, beads, a caring chain, and caring messages to each other.

Science- In science, we have finished our unit on cells which leads us into tissues, organs, and systems. The students will be creating lungs this week and making diagrams of the human body. Be looking for these to come home. I have decided not to create the Jell-O, fruit cell, so no fruit is need after all. I will send the recipe home and the students can do this project with you at home.

Thank you for Caring,
Thank you for Sharing
