Math
This week, we will have Math lunch club on Tuesday and Thursday. On Tuesday we will be reviewing concepts from the first half of unit 4 and on Thursday we will be reviewing concepts from the second half of unit 4.
**Math Classwork: In addition to their math journals, students have begun taking notes on partially pre-filled packets for each lesson. They should keep these packets with them. These will be a valuable tool to assist in HW and in getting ready for a test.
Please make sure your student has a two pocket folder to keep these in- I do have a number of these folders in my classroom as well, so can provide them for students who are unable to get one.
Science
Study Guides were sent home Thursday, October 23, 2014 for the chapter 2 test.

Blog Research Projects
Students have done a great job researching the SR 71 and How to Spend the Gift Cards (Blog Post: October 13, 2014) we received from the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation. Both of these blog projects (participation is optional but encouraged- extra credit will be assigned where due)) have been moving much more slowly then anticipated due to benchmarks and Pali preparations.Pali Mountain
The time has almost come when we head up to the Mountains to spend a week in the woods learning about science! Look for information coming home Thursday about departure information, return information, and information about how to stay close while we are at Pali!
Collaboration Days
A new page will be added to the website to keep you informed about what the Sixth Grade Team is doing on collaboration days! I will post information about what happened the week after the collaboration day took place.
