Last week, we celebrated our faithful and focused learners at the PBIS assembly, followed by a beautiful Mass led by the student council.
This week, we’ll continue with MAP testing (Reading and ELA). See below for what else is happening!
WHAT WE’RE DOING THIS WEEK
6th Grade Reading: We started our reading of The King of Mazy May by Jack London today in class. We will likely finish our short story this week and begin some discussions on how our story uses the building blocks of fiction.
7th Grade Math: We will review fractions this week. Students will have several IXL topics this week: F.2, F.3, F.5, F.8, and F.10. Topics are highlighted in their IXL accounts, and they can work on these at school during MAP testing breaks, in class, and at home. Completion to 70% should take eight to ten problems. DUE Next Tuesday!
6th Grade Writing/Grammar: Students will be learning about 5-paragraph essay introductions, specifically how to make an excellent hook.
For grammar, we are going to take a step back and spend more time with prepositions.
6th Social Studies: We will continue our studies on the Stone Age, including Paleolithic lifestyles and the Neolithic Revolution. Students will have a quiz on these topics next week.
6th Religion:
Dear Parents,
HAPPY FALL! This is another short week due to MAP testing. I will be meeting with the sixth graders on Monday and Thursday. We continue learning about the Catholic Social Teachings. We will explore Rights and Responsibilities of the Human Person and Option for the Poor and Vulnerable. Last week, students were introduced to Carlo Acutis, the Church’s newest saint.
Blessings,
Mrs. Reichlin
6th Science: This is a short week due to MAP testing. Students will review metric system.

JOIN CHOIR!
Students interested in joining the choir should attend practice on Thursdays from 12:00–12:30 in the music room. While choir also meets on Tuesdays, our students will be in PE/Health then. Mrs. Kwant has confirmed it’s fine if they can only attend on Thursdays. Students are welcome to try it out and decide if choir is right for them before making a commitment.
MISSING WORK REPORTS
Students with missing assignments (from any class) will be sent home with a blue “Missing Work Report” on Fridays. These reports must be returned on Monday with a parent signature acknowledging the missing work. Please note, students must maintain a C or better in all classes to participate in ICRS sports.
