Exhibition coming to a close and new units galour

First of all, I would like to say a big Thank You to all of the students and parents in T-124 for making my birthday a wonderful day!!!! Your kindness, thoughts, cards and gifts were wonderful. A special thank you to the Brosigs for delivering flowers and gifts on the morning of my birthday as well as organizing everything. I was truly touched.

Exhibition-

Wow, time flies. Students are currently working on their visual presentations and finishing up their actions. Some groups are farther ahead than others, but I am pushing for students to really get done by the 8th of December.

Our field trip to the Houston Food Bank was a success and I would like to thank April Lloyd and Marianne Fairey for attending as chaperons. Thank you

Exhibition will be in the Cafeteria on December the 15th and our class will present from 12:00-1:00, so mark your calendars.

Math-

We have finished division and multiplication and have just started our unit on fractions, decimals and percents. I do expect this unit to be longer as 6th grade math is mostly these concepts and skills.

Science-
We are continuing with Matter and will most likely cover Matter through December.

Social Studies-
You may have heard your students come home talking about Early Colonial America and especially the English Colonies. We did watch a video that included the Native American point of view with much rich discussion during and after. We will continue with the Colonies and move into the French and Indian War. Expect a permission slip within the next week or so regarding the viewing of a movie that has some gruesome war footage.

Reading-
We will be starting new Literature Circle groups this week.

Parents and Students, I have some classroom updates to share.

Tuesday folders went home today with some important information. First, If you put in a request for student records, they are enclosed in a manila envelope. Only one copy is being sent. If you need additional copies, you will need to make the copies. I know that once the office makes a copy, they will not have time to make a second. Also, If you still need to request records, you can. They will go home again in next week's Tuesday folder.

Field Trip!!! The date has changed. Our class will attend the Food Bank field trip with Mr. Sharhiari's class on MONDAY the 15th, not the 16th. Also, we will need 2 parent chaperones. We will leave Roberts at 8:15 and return around 1:30. You will need to be VIPS approved in order to chaperone. Any volunteers?

Thank you,
Carol Rivers
