Library Visit and Homework

            On Friday we were able to visit the library for the first time this year!  We took the STAR reading assessment and checked out books.  If your child was unable to check out a book, please help them locate their lost book from last year or contact the school about paying the fine. Your child needs to read and test for a class assignment so we need to get a book in their hands very soon.
       
Homework for 6th Grade Reading this year will be:

• Study for Spelling Test...First Chance test on Wednesday...Test on Friday if Needed
• Know the Vocabulary words given Monday for Friday's Test
• READ A LIBRARY BOOK...DON'T WAIT until the last minute to start a book.
• Unfinished work from class or missed assignments from absence

If ever the Vocab/Spelling handout from Monday is lost check the "Weekly Objective" link on the right side of the page with the correct date.  Please let me know if there is a week I fail to post the lists on here and I'll get it there ASAP.

Supplies

For class this year you will need:

• Pencils
• 1" Clear-view Binder
• Loose-leaf Notebook Paper
• Composition Notebook
• Folder with Brads

If you are willing to donate one or any of the following items to our class, it would be greatly appreciated. These are things I don't need every student to bring and THEY ARE NOT REQUIRED.  I understand that this time of year can be a challenge getting kids back to school, so if you would like to wait until next month on one or any of these that would be totally fine.  I appreciate your help!

• Clorox Wipes
• Card Stock
• Small Tip Markers
• Large Glue Sticks
