Grade 6 News
Science All 6th grade students were given information to complete a research project on a vertebrate or an invertebrate of their choice on January 26, 2012. This project will wrap up our unit on types of animals and their characteristics. The project is due on Monday, February 13, 2012. The students will orally present their projects on that day as well. Please assist your student with the completion of the project to assure it is turned in on time. There will only be one day of class time dedicated to research for this project, I will be available each day after school to assist students with research if needed

Reading- Students will begin to spend more time focusing on the writing process. Students will write narrative and expository texts. In addition to writing essays we will focus on the steps of writing an extended response. A good extended response will restate the question into an answer format and use examples from the story to support the answer. Students are also in process of reading their first of SEVEN required accelerated reading books. Mrs. Ritchey Math- classes are covering a wider and deeper knowledge
base including Data Tables, Graphs, and some are starting
basic Geometry. It is more important than ever that ALL
homework is done in the student's Math Spiral. Extra help
is available after school on Mon, Tue, Thurs, and Fridays.
All students are encouraged to seek help one of these four
times.
