Spirit Cheers are Sounding Great!

Hi Class,

Wow! I was so impressed with your Cheers on Friday! They are going to be awesome!! We still have some work to do in preparation for our "Welcome to the North Cavan ZOO!" Spirit Day on October 31st - meet with your Teacher & Staff Spirit Leaders, send out our flyers, get our "ZOO Food" Jar Guess ready, make some announcements, finish up a couple of posters, make our Team Banners, and prepare our Assembly - but I know that we are a GREAT GRADE 6 Team so we will succeed as long as we work together!!

As far as homework you need to focus on this weekend...

1) Write up your rough draft paragraphs for your Autobiographical Brochures. Be sure to read your TRACKING SHEET carefully. You can also write your Introduction and Conclusion. (Gordon's Introduction was a good sample, but we will discuss it further and do some Shared Writing together on Monday as well.)

2) Your September Yearbook pages are due on Tuesday. Just follow the Evaluation outline taped into the back of your Yearbook as a guide. I know that some items are not as plentiful for September as September was shorter and we were busy establishing routines, etc., but I think you will be able to pull together most of the items. (This will be taken into consideration when they are being marked.)

3) Don't forget, WEDNESDAY is Spelling DAY! So, don't leave it till Tuesday night, as you never know what other homework assignments you will have by then. Spread the work out. Don't leave it till the last minute!

4) Magazine Orders are due on Monday too, so help raise money for the school by getting some orders over the weekend.

I hope I haven't forgotten anything....

OH, DON'T FORGET to get your MATH Patterning Work reviewed and signed by your parents. Go through the questions again to continue your math learning. If you don't understand, work to do so by asking your family, friends, etc... to help you understand. Having lots of STUDY BUDDIES in your life with different strengths in different subject areas is a great learning tool.

See you Monday,

Mrs. A.
