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.
