This Thursday we will be hosting a Special Parent Information Night (SPIN) in the cafeteria Thursday from 6-7:30. Teachers and Staff will be on hand to lead Math games, show parents how to assist students with Math, and show you the curricula that we use in our classes. Register by Wednesday and stop by the 6th grade booth on Thursday.
This is our last week to prepare before AIMS testing. In class we will be reviewing concepts presented throughout the course of the year. Students will be bringing home Buckle Down AIMS workbooks this weekend. It would be great for you to review major concepts and terms with them before and during testing days. Next week I do not plan to send home homework, though students should be prepared to do silent, educational, and (I hope) enjoyable, independent work when they are finished with testing on Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday mornings. I recommend that all students have crayons, markers, or colored pencils available for their personal use next week. Crossword puzzle books, Sudoku books, and other activity books are also highly recommended.
This week, our Spelling Words all come from our AIMS Reading Preparation Books. Please go over them with your student to ensure that they understand the meaning of the words. This week, students will take a Spelling and Vocabulary test on the words (as usual), but the higher of the two scores will be counted double and the lower score will be dropped.
