It’s the final countdown! With only a few weeks left in our school year, we are showing off our learning in fun and creative ways!

You are kindly invited to come see some of this in action tomorrow during our first 6th Grade Children’s Museum Exhibit. Sixth graders have put together presentations on topics from their Ancient Civilizations studies and created interactive activities that they can guide younger students through. Our museum will be in the library from 8:30–10:15. Please come see their hard work and try out some of the cool games and activities they have put together!

Field Day is this Friday! Our 6th graders are in charge of bringing cups. Please send your student with a sleeve of (preferably recyclable) cups to share with our school.

Reminder: Students with missing assignments may have restrictions on Field Day play. Please help your students with incomplete or missing assignments so they can participate by Friday. Working lunches will be available throughout the week, as well.

THINGS WE’RE DOING THIS WEEK:

• Reading:  Students dove into our last major project of the year: Creating animal poems! Students will create either a narrative or a lyric poem about an animal of their choice. They must include figurative language at least three times. To accompany their poem, they will create an artwork inspired by Native American art.
• 7^th– Grade Math: Students have homework today over independent and dependent probability events.  We will start Bias and Unbiased sample sets tomorrow.  Students will have IXL topics HH.1, HH.2, HH.3, HH.8, HH.9 and II.2, II.3, II.5, II.10, II.13, II.15, II.16 to 70% and a quiz on Friday.
• Religion:

Dear Parents,

This will be our last full week of sixth grade religion class.  Can you believe it?  I have enjoyed being a part of your child’s faith journey.

This week we are learning about the Prophetic Books of the Old Testament.  On Monday, students reflected on scripture from Isaiah.  On Tuesday, students will watch a video of the various prophets.   On Wednesday, sixth graders will do a scripture search to find the messages of the prophets.

Service Logs are due on Wednesday, June 10.  There will be no time to accept late service logs.   The Service Log is 25% of the religion grade.  So, turning it in on time is imperative!  Students must have a parent signature to validate the service.   Students will complete a service reflection on Wednesday, as well.

Blessings,

Mrs. Reichlin

• 6^th– Grade Science: Today we wrapped up weathering, erosion, and deposition. Tomorrow we will start the water cycle.  Students should expect a unit test next Thursday.
