March News
Mrs. Patete
In like a lion, out like a lamb
Happy March! As we continue through the year, lots of exciting events are happening in our sixth grade classroom. Read below for some more specific updates!
Writing
Students have been working hard on their personal narratives. Students are learning the writing and illustrating process can take a very long time! We are on the tail end of this and students are going to begin putting their "books" together. Ask us about our stories and what we have enjoyed most so far!
Save the Date!
Please save the date of April 6th! We will be having an Author's Tea where students will be able to present their stories to parents. Be on the lookout for a flyer with an invitation coming home soon.
Holes
Students are getting to the "good and great" parts of the story. Please continue to encourage your child to manage their time to make sure all the homework assignments are being completed each week. Don't forget I have a page that has lots of resources and information!

Learn Boost: Grade Book
Mrs. Bertholf and I both use a computer program called Learn Boost. It does have the option for parents to have access to their child's grades. This week, your child should be bringing home a packet with access codes for each of their subjects. If you go to http://learnboost.com you should be able to set up a parent account so see your child's grades. This is a great opportunity for all of us to always be on the same page, especially if your child may have misplaced a paper along the way!
Frost Valley Packets
Frost Valley packets will be coming home with your child on Thursday. Please be on the lookout for them. Please fill out the packet accordingly. If you answer Yes to any of the available medications on the last page, you must get a doctor's signature. This is why we are giving an ample amount of time to get these in!
The actual dates that students attend Frost Valley are June 5th, 6th & 7th!
Please feel free to contact me with any questions you might have about the packet!
Don't Forget!
If you haven't had a chance to fill out the parent reflection form below, please take a few minutes to help me reflect on my teaching! Thank you for your feedback!
