Dear Parents,
Here's what's happening at school this week.

Students and their families are also welcome to attend the Middle and High School portion of the concert, which starts at 7:00, and features a post-concert reception with musical entertainment provided by our own Charlevoix Jazz Band.
Dune Grass Field Trip
Thanks so much!
English
We will be celebrating and sharing our Choose Your Own Adventure stories on Monday. Students will have an opportunity to read stories from all the sixth graders. They are amazing!
Later in the week we will begin a research project in conjunction with the Charlevoix Historical Society. The students will be using newspapers and AncestryK12 to help the historical society learn more about people and places in Charlevoix history.
Enrichment Writing
Math
Last week, students focused on taking the M-STEP. They also worked on finding the volume and surface area of 3 dimensional figures. There is no homework due on Monday. This week, students will continue to focus on geometry concepts in chapter 11. The Chapter 9 test will not be assessed until after the NWEA testing is completed. NWEA testing will begin the week of May 13th.
Enrichment Math
Students will continue to work on skills that will be primarily taught in 7th grade/8th grade to help give them practice for next year. This week, they will learn the distance formula.
