GPS Field Trip, June 4th!
For the second year, our 6th graders will learn more about latitude and longitude coordinates while walking throughout Flushing. The students will be divided into 6 different groups, with about 15 students per group along with one teacher. They will be given a set of latitude and longitude coordinates and the groups' goal is to find each landmark throughout Flushing. We will need two students from each classroom who would be able to carry their phones that have a data plan to locate and take pictures of these landmarks. We plan on leaving at 12:00 and returning around 2:30.
One of our stops will be at the A&W! They will provide a sack lunch that includes Hot dog, Fries, and a drink. The cost of this will be $4.25. If your child would like to bring their own sack lunch, that is okay as well.
Please return the permission slip along with $4.25 to your child's teacher no later than Monday, June 1st.

Walking to the Park Field Trip, June 5th!
On Friday, June 5th we will be walking to Flushing Park with the Central Class of 2021!!! We plan on leaving at 12:00 and returning around 2:30. Please remember to check the weather and wear appropriate/comfortable clothing. Once the students get tot he park, they will be eating their sack lunch and will play a friendly game of kickball.
We will need a few parents to help the classrooms accomplish this walk. If you are available to walk with us, we would love to spend the time with you. Please have your child bring a sack lunch as we eat lunch at Flushing Park.
Please return the permission slip to your child's teacher no later than Monday, June 1st.

Math
Students did amazingly well on the Math MSTEP Test this week! We will continue Topic 19: Data and Graphs, which we will be studying throughout the end of the year. There will be no more math quizzes, however, assignments are still due for a grade. Thank you for continued support in helping your child a little bit every night with their math!

Word Study
Reading
We have began reading, Rascal. We will be comparing and contrasting Rascal's Setting with Roll of Thunder Hear My Cry, and Devil's Arithmetic. They all take place during the same time period!
Students received their two monthly reading logs for the month of May. One is an "At Home" Reading Log. Students need to complete and fill out the log after reading 20 minutes everyday. The same applies for the "At School" Reading Log. They are responsible to be filling this out after IDR/DAILY 4 time in class. Both are DUE on Monday, June 1st with a parent signature. They are also available on my teacher webpage for your reference.
