6th Grade Info

May 11, 2012 | Latest News  |  Leave a Comment

Students received progress reports today.  I’m still in the process of grading some of their writing, and I will be updating their grades again next week.  Between now and the end of the year, I am hoping to provide a progress report each week because I know students are excited that they will be promoting soon.  Towards the end of the school  year, it’s quite easy for them to stray and to forget to turn in work.  These progress reports need to be signed and returned on Monday. 

Students were provided a Family Life Education form earlier this week.  In the event you do not want your child participating, please sign and check mark the box on the form your child sent home.  We will be showing a video on Friday, June 15th.

We will be taking our CST’s May 21-24th.  Makeup CST’s will be given on May 25, 29, and 30th.  Please ensure that your child receives a good night sleep, eats a healthy breakfast, and is not late.  Students who show up late to school cannot enter our class until all students have completed their CST.  This could mean that students will be waiting in the office for over an hour, so please make sure students do not arrive late to school. 

Have a great weekend.

Writing Conventions: 
Sentence Structures:  On a piece of binder paper, students must create 7 compound sentences using a coordinating conjunction (FANBOYS).  Students may only use a coordinating conjunction once.  Students must also create 3 sentences that are compound-complex using a subordinating conjunction.  Use your Cornell Notes to assist you.  Your Cornell Notes provide sentene examples.

Total # of sentences:  10 (worth 1 point each).

2.  Complete your “Name Alliteration” if you have no completed it.
Here is the formula for your name alliteration:
[Alliterated name],
[Neglected chore].
[Effect],
[Effect],
[Effect].
[Alliterated name].

Example: 
Karen Katharine Kimberly Ked,
Never had time to make her bed.
It got to be such a terrible mess,
And caused her mother so much grief,
She started sleeping underneath!
Karen Katharine Kimberly Ked.
