Important Information:
• Second trimester report cards went home on Thursday, March 20. Please sign and return only the report card envelope by Wednesday of this week.
• Remember our team does not accept late work during the 3rd trimester.
• Students will be assigned their research topic today. For the next two weeks we will spend time in the media center (or tech lab) using the computers and reference books to gather research material. We will focus on necessary research skills and how to write a research report.
• Our next reading log is due on Thursday, April 17.
• Don’t forget to turn in both the permission slip and a check, for our sixth grade end of the year field trip. It is due by Friday, April 18. No Exceptions! If you need a scholarship please see me as soon as possible, but definitely before the due date.
• As a reminder, before vacation we have began a student choice novel study. On most days language arts meets during 8th period and the reading class meets during 9th period. Each core teacher, teaches a different novel. Students will receive a separate reading syllabus from his/her reading teacher.
