Friday Note for 11/17
Dear Sixth Grade Families:
Monday and Tuesday of next week will be concentrated learning days before the holiday. Many loose ends will be wrapped up before the break. If you are planning to have your child miss classes, please remember the school policy about receiving work in advance. It would be a great idea for students who will be absent to contact a friend about work missed. With the short upcoming week and the Thanksgiving break, there will not be a Friday Note next week.
Many students are coming to school without a coat and experiencing some cold recesses. Please remind your child to be bring a warm coat with him or her to school. Some gloves and a hat would be useful too! Many students are also experiencing some growth. Uniforms aren’t growing with our students though, so please take some time to check the length of skirts and pants and visit the uniform exchange as needed :)
Next week after our Mesopotamia project, we will be setting up Science Fair binders and starting to design our experiments. Designing the project and writing the report (especially the data analysis and graphs) will be done primarily in class. Next week you will also get a packet with an introductory letter, guidelines for choosing and designing a project, the expectations, grading, and due dates for the Science Fair. Please review the packet with your child and return the signature sheet, Wednesday November 30th. This packet has a week by week schedule to assist your child in being successful. Please note that not all the due dates are listed; students will be informed of these periodic Science Fair check-ins ahead of time. Students are expected to bring their Science Fair Binders to school everyday. Please remember that all experiments must be approved before they may begin.
We celebrate the life of each student and family during this time of gratefulness. May God grant that your family be abundantly blessed with the imperishable fruit of the Spirit: Love, Joy, Peace, Patience, Kindness, Goodness, Faithfulness, Gentleness and Self-Control.
A Blessed Thanksgiving!
Ms. Pech & Ms. Wilder

Friday Note from 11/3/11
Dear Sixth Grade Families;
The past few weeks spent at Adoration have been a wonderful learning experience for our students. We are extremely proud of our entire sixth grade students who have been participating in praying the Rosary during Adoration. We have had many compliments from the parish community about how much they enjoy the children praying the Rosary with them.
Our school wide Feed the Need food drive is in full swing. Students can continue to bring in items through next Tuesday.
We are beginning to study the ancient civilization of Mesopotamia in Social Studies. As part of our studies, students will be asked to create a Mesopotamian artifact that showcases one of this civilization’s achievements. This project should be created out of items that are found from around the house. Requirements and due dates will be discussed in class on Monday and Tuesday. In science class, discussions are beginning for Science Fair. Chat with your child about their ideas for the project. A reminder that these projects need to be experiments, not demonstrations and we ask that there be no experiments involving live animals or plants.
After much practice, we are beginning to post our blogs in English class. Over the next few days all entries submitted by students will be posted. You can see the entries written by students by going onto www.6thgradehomeroom.weebly.com. You can also use this website to access Friday Notes and homework helps. The requirements for larger projects can also be found on this site.
The end of the trimester is quickly approaching. We would like for all of the students to end the trimester on a good note. Please continue to check your child’s planner every evening. Another opportunity to share and discuss your child’s school work is when the Friday Folder comes home. We have discussed using the planner to improve organization and help prioritize responsibilities. Neatness and thoroughness of documentation is also important so they may use the information effectively to communicate with others. Estimated times to complete the homework should be written for assignments and work that is given many days to complete should be broken down into small sessions rather than waiting until the night before it is due J
Have a wonderful weekend!
Ms. Pech

November 4 Art paper due
