April Newsletter



Curriculum
Math:  Mr. Barnes will be working on Envision Math Topics, Math Fact All Stars, Aleks Math, and the Math Skill Tests to check for student growth.
Spelling/Vocabulary: Spelling and vocabulary lists will be given for each FULL week this month. Spelling Tests will usually be every Friday. We will correct ALL spelling work in class on Thursday, so students need to be prepared with the assignment done! Students have access to their spelling lists located in the SCHOOL TO HOME section on their Wonders Web site (connect ed)! They need to be STUDYING THE WORDS BEFORE FRIDAY TESTS!
Reading: We will be reading the basal and working on fluency, comprehension, text structure 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 have a parent sign on their reading record.  Make sure your student is doing 20 min of reading Sun-Thurs with a parent signature on their reading record sheet.
*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.   
Writing: We will practice the writing process, the six +1 traits of writing, and language arts will be integrated into this subject. We will also continue to practice the Four Square Method of organizing writing. We are now reviewing Expository and Argumentative Writing for the upcoming SAGE test!

Start Thinking About Graduation!
*It’s time for the 6th Grade students to start creating their end of the year slide show for our Graduation! Please send 2 photos of your 6th grader to school ASAP! One photo needs to be a baby picture and the other needs to be a current picture of your student! We will also accept any other photos that have been taken throughout the students’ time at school. I am looking for a lot of group photos showing the kids doing various school and extracurricular activities to add to the slide show! The more pictures the better the slide show is!
