Parents,

We are getting ready to start a new unit is Science.  The unit is on Tobacco, 
Alcohol and Drugs.  Please take the time to discuss with your child what we 
talk about in school.  This is a topic of great interest to them at this 
point, and I feel that discussing it will help them make the right choice 
later in life.  In addition, we will have a guest speaker from the tobacco 
company to talk about the hazards of smoking.  We will also watch a few 
videos that go with the topic. The students will also design a poster about 
the hazards of drugs, alcohol and tobacco.

In Math, group 6, we are learning how to read and write algebraic 
expressions.  This doesn't always seem very difficult, but does prove to be 
challenging.  It will certainly help our students when reading word 
problems.  Even at this level, it is so important for the students to know 
their multiplication tables.  Some of the silliest mistakes are made because 
they multiplied incorrectly.

In Math 7, we are learning how to apply the inverse operation of a algebraic 
expression in Multip., division, addition and subtraction.  It is important 
for the students to learn the steps to these problems even when they are able 
to do them with mental math.  Again, it is important for each child to 
practice their multiplication tables if they are rusty.

In Social Studies we are now working from a binder.  We do refer to the book 
for addition information.  The worksheets in the binder do coordinate with 
the Archdiocese guidelines for 6th grade Social Studies.  I have the students 
highlight any important information.  For test and quizzes, the students will 
study directly from the binder.    We will be having a quiz on what we have 
done so far next Wednesday or Thursday, Dec. 2 - 3.   I will let them know.
Also, each student has picked a country in which they would like to research 
about how they celebrate Christmas.  They received the guidelines and rubric 
for this assignment on Friday, Nov. 20th.  This is due Friday, December 4th
