Week of November 17th...


On Monday, all 6th grade students will take a Diagnostic Test in both Language Arts and Math on our new program Moby Max.

1st and 2nd Block have started the novel Number the Stars by Lois Lowry.
Vocabulary Words for this week:
1.  occupation/occupy
2.  ration
3.  swastika
4.  rabbi
5.  hazy
6.  submerge
7.  torment                                                                   
8.  distorted
9.  imprint
10. rueful

I have enough books for each student during class but not to take home. You may want to download or obtain a copy from your local library if your child feels like they are falling behind.

4th Block is reading Ashes of Roses by Mary Jane Auch.  They do not have a vocabulary test this week.  However, there will be vocabulary in their packet for the week.  The packet will cover chapters 6-13 and is due Friday.

4th Block also has 2 current Ashes of Roses projects with a third on the way.  Please ask your child to see the handouts for these projects (complete with rubrics).
