August 31st – September 4th
Monday, August 31st, 2009Welcome to my blog. I will be your child’s sixth grade Math and English teacher for the 2009-2010 school year. I’m looking forward to a great year with him or her!
Math:
This week in math, we will be starting on our first chapter, which is place value, ordering, and comparing. Students should be very careful following note-taking directions and homework completion instructions. Daily homework will be given and should take approximately twenty to thirty minutes to complete each night.
English:
We are just beginning dissecting simple parts of language, which starts with parts of a sentence and then the sentence as a whole. In collaboration with this unit of writing, students will work with punctuation, which directly correlates to putting types of sentences together. Careful and organized notetaking is strongly encouraged. Homework will be given intermittently (about three times a week) when needed and should take between fifteen and twenty minutes per night.
General Information:
My blog will be updated once a week to keep parents informed of the topics covered that week in both subjects. Students will receive daily homework and will be made aware of upcoming tests (about 3-5 days in advance). Any time you need to speak with me, feel free to email me. (eboyce@sjfschool.net)
