Scott 6th Grade Center

Scott 6th Grade Center's Motto- "We Enter to Learn and Leave to Achieve"
What Has Been Happening in Mrs. Fisher's Classes?
Mrs. Fishers class has been working hard to build their reading and math skills. They have also been exploring the world of Ancient Mesopotamia and learning about the rock cycle! We grew our own rock crystals. We are learning about the tree main classes of rocks and how the rock cycle works! This past week we also learned a lot about Martin Luther King Jr!
Math and ELA Benchmark Testing Over the Next Two Weeks
I cannot believe that we are at the end of the 1st semester, and half way through our school year! We have had a great start at Scott this year, and I am looking forward to a wonderful second semester full of learning, meeting goals, making friends, and having fun.
Over the next two weeks, students will be completing their mid year benchmark testing in Math and ELA. In Math, they will complete the IXL diagnostic test and take the NWEA MAP Benchmark test online. In ELA, they will take the Acadience Benchmark which tests their fluency (how quickly they can read) and their retell quality (how accurately and how much they can recall about what they read).
I know our staff and I are looking forward to celebrating the growth our students have made from the beginning of the year until now. We will share their scores with them and discuss their achievement and goals for the end of the year.
Please take some time this week to remind your student to do their best on these Benchmark tests as it is a way to show how much they are learning and growing.
