Miss Perris' 6th Grade ELA, Reading, and Social Studies

12/5/18

Happy Wednesday,
 
The candy fundraiser will be ending on Friday, 12/14.
 
Just a reminder that we will be attending science camp from Tuesday, 1/15/19 through Friday, 1/18/19.  FINAL camp payments need to be made BEFORE we head off to camp.  If it is financially possible, it would be better to make the payment BEFORE we head off for winter break.  I’ll be sending home statements sometime next week (except for those students selling candy bars).  
Please remember the RHMS Toy Drive!  We are asking for new toys appropriate for middle school aged children (no video games or gift cards, please).  The last day to donate toys will be Friday, 12/14.  Thanks as always for your support.
There will be a Walden West representative coming to RHMS TOMORROW to talk to our students about what to expect at science camp.
 
There will be a band concert on Wednesday, 12/12 here at RHMS.   
 
COLLECTING ALL BOX TOPS!! If you have been collecting BOX TOPS, Please bring then to your 1st period teacher.  PLEASE put the BOX TOPS in a baggie and write your child’s name/# of BOX TOPS on the baggie.  We will be collecting BOX TOPS throughout the year, so if you can start saving them now, that would be great!!  Thanks for your support.
Homework for 12/5/18: 
 
Reading/Literature:  READ 25 minutes every night including weekends!  Green group students ONLY - Show the STAR Reading Diagnostic Report to parents.  New AR points have been set for the trimester, since all points have been zeroed out from the first trimester.  FOLD AND TAPE THE REPORT INTO THE BACK OF THE STUDENT PLANNER. 
 
AR BOOK CHECK FOR ALL STUDENTS ON FRIDAY, 12/7. 
 
Language Arts:  
 
*Review grammar worksheet
*Grammar quiz on Friday, 12/7
 
Math:  
 
*Complete page 167
*The quiz for all of Module 6 will be TOMORROW. 
Science:  We are continuing with presentations on organ systems.  If your child has not presented, he/she should be practicing at home.  Please ask to see his/her notes (blue and green papers).  Also, if your child has already presented, they should bring their self-evaluation sheet.
 
Social Studies:  No homework.  We’ve created a 3-pocket foldable (white) for our unit on Israel.  You will not be seeing a pink cover sheet with this assignment.  The Israel map will be drawn directly on to the foldable.  The foldable will be due on the day of the test. The test will occur prior to heading off for winter break.  
Have a great night.
