READING
Mrs. Robbins

Sixth grade is off to a fantastic start.  All students seem to have adjusted 
well to their new schedule.  We are working on our first book projects; movie 
posters, characters shoes and diaries.   We are also doing MEAP review, 
getting ready for the MEAP October 13th through the 29th.  Next we will be 
learning about Reading Strategies for fiction reading:  predicting, 
visualizing, connecting, questioning, clarifying and evaluating.  In our 
first unit we will be reading stories about characters that learn about tests 
of courage, both the courage to be themselves and courage in action.  A 
famous American writer, Eudora Welty once said “All serious daring starts 
from within.”

COMPUTERS
Mrs. Robbins

Students are learning their way around a computer, how to create folders, 
save and retrieve files and about the history of computers. Next we will be 
beginning their Microsoft Word tutorials and Basic Computes Skills books.  
Students will be learning how to evaluate websites,  type their English 
papers in computer class, as well as several integrated projects in Math, 
Social Studies, Science, Reading and Language Arts. A great site for sixth 
graders is: www.mathcats.com/explore/tessellations/ tesspeople.html

WORDS OF THE YEAR...to know, learn and with which to live!
Integrity
Respect
Responsibilty
Compassion

COMMUNICATION IS THE KEY

Parents and teachers need to make the time to communicate with and 
support each other, if not the children are the ones who will lose. 
Not the parents, not the teachers - the children. I'll take a leap 
and say that on behalf of those of you who choose to have children 
and those of us who choose to educate them, that's the last thing 
anyone wants.
