Curriculum
Math: Mr. Barnes is working in Topic 1: Numeration.
Spelling/Vocabulary: Spelling and vocabulary
lists will be given for each FULL week this month. Spelling Tests will usually
be every Friday. This is also the day that ALL spelling practice work MUST be
turned in for full credit! I will make an adjustment for Labor Day. Students
have access to their spelling lists located in the SCHOOL TO HOME section on
their Wonders Web site! They need to be STUDYING THE WORDS BEFORE FRIDAY TESTS!
Reading:
We will be
reading the basal and working on fluency, comprehension, and text analysis. Remember
that each Wednesday is BASAL HOMEWORK NIGHT! Students need to bring their basal/Chrome
Book home to reread the story and write a summary on their planner sheet. Make sure your student is doing 20 min of
reading Sun-Thurs with a parent signature on their planner sheet. Parent
signatures earn 3 extra credit points!
*Each
week, students who complete their reading with 5 parent signatures, turned in
ON TIME, will receive 1 Read to Ride ticket for the end of the year bike
drawing.
Language
Arts: We
will be working on Unit 1: The Sentence.
Writing: We will practice the

Square Method of organizing writing. We will preview the three types of essays
required for sixth grade: Expository, Argumentative, and Narrative. We will be
taking a writing Pre Assessment this month.
