Three Day Weekend- Plenty of time to work on your projects... [lol]

6C
Parents/ Guardians Please look for Take Home Folders this week.  Make sure to sign all  graded papers and return the next day. 
Also Please ask to see the instructions and rubrics for the 2 Freak the Mighty Projects.

On a Quest for Music and Dictionary Project--both projects MUST follow the directions exactly.  I will grade directly from the rubric.

Non-Fiction Book Titles are due.  The 2nd Book Project is an ABC book.  Rubrics were sent home 2 weeks ago.

Vocabulary Homework for the week.  There will be no test this week.  I will grade the homework for Vocabulary grade instead.

Freak the Mighty Vocabulary Assignment
 
Directions:  Make vocabulary flashcards as you read with the word on one side and the definition, the sentence from the book, a picture, and the page number on the other side. 

1.    urgency
2.    gruel
3.    furrowed
4.    dysfunctional
5.    kin
6.    injustice
7.    trussed
8.    accommodations
9.    bloated
10.  tenements




6A and 6B

Students will receive a READING LOG for the week.  They MUST read every night and have someone 'sign off' on it.  I will use this for a grade but more importantly- we simple need to increase the amount of reading some of our 6th graders are currently doing.  Reading is fundamental to all subject areas.  Just like anything else, one needs to practice to get better. 

Please DO NOT forget the 40 BOOK CHALLENGE.  I have had very few students get the chart signed.

Non- Fiction Book Titles are Due.  The Project for the 2nd nine weeks is an ABC book- all students have a rubric.


Take Home Folders are coming home Tuesday.  Please sign and return. 

Students will be studying the field of Biometrics.  One of the activities we will do this week is fingerprinting.  We will study the three main types of fingerprints.  The students will take their own and classify/organize them accordingly.
