Success in Sixth Grade
Volume 10, Issue 3
A Note from Mr. Nakano
"Sometimes the questions are complicated, but the answers are simple." - Dr. Seuss
"If there is no struggle, there is no progress." - Frederick Douglass
Just a quick update newsletter, as this time of year at the beginning is always busy. We just completed our first learning targets check for math with decimals. If your student was successful, they noted it on their learning targets document. If not, we use the term "yet," as in "I did not achieve my learning target yet." We note it in our "Personal Reinforcement List" and will review and reassess throughout the year, getting closer and closer to our "bullseye" target.

Global Read Aloud
It is always wonderful to see the student react with one another as they notice similarities and differences in the way each classroom interprets the story.
Student / Parent / Teacher Fall Goal-Setting Conferences
If you did not receive an e-mail with a conference time, please let me know.
In 6th grade, the conferences are student led. They will be guiding the process as we look at current data from recent assessment and set goals for their final elementary year, as they head towards middle school.
