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

3/4/19

Hello Parents,
Please talk with your child and remind them that they are in school to learn.  Disruptive behavior impacts the learning of all students.  Please review the following with your child:
1.  One person talks at a time in the classroom.
2.  Raise your hand and wait for permission to speak.
3.  Think before you speak — if you don’t have anything nice to say, don’t say it!
4.  Students are expected to follow along when the teacher is reading (whether it is our core novel or one of the textbooks)
5.  Focus your attention on the person who is speaking (whether it is the teacher or a fellow student)
6.  EVERYONE deserves to be treated with respect (this goes for students and teachers)
Both Ms. Harrington and I have a lot of curriculum left to teach before the end of the school  year!  State testing begins at the end of April/beginning of May, and we want to prepare students for what’s ahead.  THANK YOU for taking the time to talk to your child.  We appreciate your support! 
In celebration of the end of the trimester, this week is SPIRIT WEEK.  The 1st period class with the most participants will receive a pizza party!
TUESDAY — Blackout Day (wear black)
WEDNESDAY — Twin Day
THURSDAY — Hawaiian Day
FRIDAY — College Day 
 
There will be NO HOMEWORK CENTER this week.
Just a reminder that the end of the trimester is this Friday, 3/8.  The last day to take an AR quiz is Friday, 3/8!
