November 3rd – 7th
Math: This week, sixth graders will continue working on Chapter Three. As each lesson becomes more difficult, it is important for students to stay on track, take diligent notes, and complete their homework correctly. The Chapter Three test is scheduled for next Tuesday, November 10th. By Wednesday, students will have written down the directions that will be on the test – it is important to study before Monday night in order to be prepared for the test. I have seen outstanding improvement with preparation for tests and quizzes – it would be great to have all students score 90% and above for the Chapter Three Test!
English: I have received the English papers, and after grading a few, I am very impressed with the variation of sentence structure (openers) and word choice. This was expected, but the major area of improvement lies in editing for grammar, spelling, and punctuation errors. Though I have only graded a few, so far, the average paper grade is around an 86%. For the rest of the week, sixth graders will be working on their quote paragraphs, which will mostly be completed in class.
**Report cards are issued on November 18th!
