Parent Communication
I really enjoyed meeting everyone
who came to parent teacher
conferences. Please let me know if
there are any questions that you
would like me to address. Remember,
the planner and goal tracker are key
components of daily communication
between the school and home.
Please be sure to check and sign it
daily.
Curriculum:
Math: We are covering Ch. 4 and 5
which is on rates, ratios and percents.
This includes equivalent ratios,
comparing ratios, unit rates, unit
conversions, and using percents.
Language Arts:. Some of the
strategies that we have learned this
quarter include identifying main idea
and supporting details, author’s point
of view, and non-fiction text
structures. A big focus in 6th grade is
Greek and Latin roots. Students will
use this knowledge to build their
vocabulary.
Science: This month we are
introducing the periodic table and the
atomic model. Encourage your child to
study their notes!
Social Studies: As part of our study of
ancient civilizations, we will be learning
about many of the world’s religions.
This would be a good time to discuss
your family’s beliefs with your child.
