Important Information:
• Students received their edited research papers last week. The final research paper is due on Tuesday, May 12. Be sure to review your rubric to make sure you have all the requirements. You must make corrections to your research paper and your outline after you have edited your paper.
• Your visual aid is due on Thursday, May 14. Again review the rubric you were given.
• Our final Reading Log is due this Friday, May 15th. Don’t forget, if you are reading The Egypt Game novel you must complete two different log entries in order for it to count as 2 books. One of the log entries must be a book report. You must use the book report format on the back of your log sheet. See Mrs. A if you’ve lost your log sheet. I will not accept any late reading logs unless you are absent.
• Remember your lit circle book cannot be used for this reading log, therefore I strongly encourage you to read at least 3-4 books if you want to earn 18-20 pts for this reading log.
• We are planning a Sixth Grade Spelling Bee for June 1st. In order to qualify interested students must participate in classroom spelling bee competition in their reading/language arts classes.
This year, students will not receive a list of words to study. I recommend interested students
review spelling rules and patterns and study vocabulary words used in core classes. Good Luck!
• If you haven’t paid for the trip all money is due by this Wed., May 13th. The trip costs $4.50.
