Hi 6th Grade Parents,
Today is the start of the Third Trimester. I am giving students until tomorrow morning to get any late assignments in from the last trimester. There will not be a progress report this week. Report cards will come home next week.
Tomorrow is our walking field trip to the Mount Vernon High School Planetarium. It is not a free dress day.
We will have a spelling test Friday with the attached words.
In science we are wrapping up astronomy this week and starting in on earth science next week. For the Engineering Fair students are supposed to be improving their prototype and testing it. They can also get started on the display board. I’ve attached the display board expectations and grading rubric.
For 6th math we are continuing to explore algebra.
In social studies we will be finishing up Ancient Egypt.

7 Math – Today we began our new unit of geometry. Students have homework tonight on angles. We will review and move forward with solving for unknown angles later this week.
6 Reading – We are finishing our movie version of The Westing Game. We will begin our new book Paper Wishes next week. According to Common Sense Media, parents need to know, “…Paper Wishes is about a girl so traumatized by grief and guilt when her family is forced from their home that she goes mute. It follows the government’s relocation of Japanese American families to internment camps and probes themes of loss, healing, endurance, justice, and hope. Danger and violence skulk around the edges — armed soldiers, reports of a deadly riot, and persistent uncertainty and unease — but the story is tightly focused on the bonds between 10-year-old Manami and those closest to her.”

Dear Parents,
Today sixth grade students completed their service reflection. It is so inspiring to see young people reaching out into their communities and their families to share, help, and support others. These are the kind of global citizens we want in our world!
Students watched the life of Moses. This week students are going to recreate a Seder Plate with understanding of the symbols.
Students will also get the third trimester Service Log.
Blessings,
Mrs. Reichlin
