Notes from the Office
1. If your child will be absent for the day, please call the attendance line at 920-662-7875 and not the main line. Please note that the attendance line will not be checked after 10:00 AM.
2. If you're picking your child up early, please call ahead or send your student with a note. When picking up, you will need to come into the building and provide a license. You will only need to bring in your license the first time so you can be added into our Raptor system.
State Forward Exam
On April 16-18 we will be taking the state Forward exam. Students will be tested in the areas of Reading, Writing, and Mathematics. Please have your student bring a set of earbuds for all three days (plug-ins only) of testing. We also encourage all students to get a good night's rest before testing, eat breakfast, and bring a book to read for when they finish.
If possible, please try to keep appointments with your kids to a minimum on these days (especially in the mornings)
Students can bring gum or mints if they feel it helps them focus during testing.

Mr. Miller's Math
We finished module nine and are working on our next unit where we are studying graphing, variables, and using the x,y axis with dependent and independent variables. Each day for the next two weeks we will be doing mini-reviews to get ready for the state testing in two weeks.
Students will be required (all sixth graders) to finish seven to ten lessons per week in ALEKS as a supplement to our math curriculum. Most students are finishing this in W.I.N. time each day.
As always, we try to finish all of our math in class but as the year progresses some students will need to take out a page or two to finish at home.
Mrs. Kramer's Science
Students are coming to a close in our "How do living things heal" study. We have studied how the different systems work together to repair and heal the body. We will have a final project coming up soon to share all of what we have learned. Please note that the work we have been doing during the third quarter will be on the fourth quarter grades since we are still in that unit.

Students are continuing their non-fiction reading with their study groups. Each group will be putting together an infographic to show which central ideas they have decided on for their research topic and what conclusions they have drawn.
*Reading habits outside of class will be important to maintain. Student have reading WIGs (Wildly Important Goals) to help support these habits. Please ask them about their lead measures and the progress they are making.
Helpful Site for Math
KHAN ACADEMY
One of the apps that students have and an excellent tutorial for math is Khan academy.
The link is as follows: https://www.khanacademy.org/
Students can simply type in their search question or content area they are looking for and it will have a smartboard lesson with audio explain and showing how to work through whatever problems they are looking up. Great site!
