6th grade will be selling Turkey Grams for $1 November 7th -11th and November 14th-17th before school at 7:30 am. A Turkey Gram is a Thanksgiving note you can send to someone at Chandler. It will be delivered to them on Friday, November 18th to take home. Turkey Grams are a great way to show your friends, classroom teachers, specials teachers, and office staff how thankful you are for them!

Any non-perishable food items: canned corn, green beans, peas, yams, cranberry sauce, pie filling, stuffing mix, gravy mix, cornbread mix, potato flakes, mac and cheese, box pie crust mix, dessert mix and foil pans.
Please bring your donations to school by Friday, November 11th.
Math
Our focus this week is on coordinate graphing with rational numbers. Students will be expected to graph and name ordered pairs of rational numbers in all four quadrants of the coordinate plane. We will use vocabulary such as x-axis, y-axis, x-coordinate, y-coordinate, origin, quadrants, scale, and ordered pair. Students will work on a coordinate graphing turkey picture that is due on Friday 11/11. There is no other homework this week.
