What a great first week! I’m looking forward to a second full week with my new classes! I love that I have all three groups of kids this year, it’s been so exciting meeting them all! So far I have been so impressed with their excitement for learning and ability to build a positive classroom community!

This next week in language arts we will be continuing to learn how to use our iPads for learning. Check out edmodo by clicking here. We will be experimenting with our school based google drive accounts as well as editing photos of ourselves for a project to be displayed during parent night! Students will also be taking a pretest to show their knowledge of parts of speech, grammar, and sentence structure. Students should have their 3 subject 8 1/2 by 11 notebooks by Monday! Please let me know if you need help acquiring this for your student!

In social studies we’ll be starting our study of ancient world civilizations by “tearing our world” and starting with some basic world geography. We have also started reading a short story called While a Tree Was Growing. 

This week I hope to see you at PARENT NIGHT! It’s from 5-7 on Thurs Sept 12th at LPMS and will let you live a day in the life of your 6th grade student!

It’s also picture day on Thursday Sept 12th!
