6th Grade Agenda 11/23-11/25

Wow! It's been a while since I've posted. Time just seems to run away from me. Sorry about the delay. I have recently updated your students grades and it is about as close to accurate as possible at the moment. A few things that you, as parents, need to be aware of:

1-I am offering a redo on their Parts of Speech test. They can find the correct answers, change them on their test, and turn it in to me no later than MONDAY NOVEMBER 30 for 1/2 credit per question they correctly fix. They can find these answers in two ways: 1) check out a blue Elements of Language text book from our school library which will hold the answers to all questions or 2) they can come to me for extra help before or after school. Because of the variety of answers one can find on the internet, that will actually be harder than looking it up in a book. I taught from the book and chose many test questions from that book. Also, please do not allow your student to copy off a friend's test. They will not be learning it, it is just copying, which I do considering cheating.

2- The first book report of the 2nd trimester is coming up! We will be working on it in class Thursday and Friday Dec. 2nd and 3rd. It will be a typed one where we will be working on the computer (hence the two days of working on it). It will be due at the end of class on the 3rd. The genres for this book report are: horror, suspense, mystery, or science fiction.
