The following went out in an email and homework can be found at the bottom:

 

Dear Sixth Grade Families,

Your child should be coming home tonight with a "Fact Packet".  Please sign your child's planner so that I can make sure that you received it.  This is the curriculum that was going to be discussed in class, but instead is being sent home so that parents have a chance to have their hands on the materials and be the primary educators of their children.  This curriculum will look a little different next year, but we will still be using it, so this is a great warm-up for families.  If you have any questions or concerns, please email me. 

Today we had a guest speaker, Mrs. Vanek, come in and talk to us about the Lymphatic System.  It was extremely insightful and enjoyable. Please ask your child what they learned.

Tomorrow we are hoping to have a "Prince and Pauper Feast".  With MId-Summer Nigh't's Dream happening we will be short on clothing fun, but if students want to bring some bling for the feast they can.  If you are available and want to join us, we will begin the feast at 11:45 and watch the end of our movie.  Thank you in advance for helping/allowing your child to participate and bring in food.

Also, tomorrow we will be cleaning out our desk and bringing things home.  If your child thinks it will not fit in their backpack, they should bring an extra bag.  They will still want to bring their bags on Monday for "Diffendoofer Day" aka Teacher Station Rotation Day, because they will be making things and will want to take it home. 

Many students are forgetting their water bottles this time of year and should still be bringing them, please help them remember the importance of hydration.

Lastly, while I will have the students working hard to clean tomorrow, it would be nice to have someone come in to  make sure nothing needs cleaning Thursday after school and Tuesday anytime(as it is field day and student should mostly stay outside) of next week.  I have not had a parent clean my room in over a month, so please take pity and check in to see if you could be the one to save the day.

Have a wonderful evening,

Miss King
