Welcome back to school! We are off to a great start in middle school. Last Thursday and Friday we spent a lot of time going over middle school procedures and playing getting to know you games. On Friday, the students walked through all their classes and received textbooks, and then we sorted into Houses and played our first tournament! Today was our first day on the regular schedule. Everyone did a great job getting to the right places. Find your class below for more information about what we did in math today.

SIXTH GRADE

Today, we set up our Interactive Notebooks. These are essentially folders where each student will keep their notes, foldables and other important info for math class. There is a table of contents so that they can always find the information that they need. I am looking forward to making the notebooks really work for the students this year. The sixth graders also learned about this blog, so hopefully everyone is checking it out tonight! The class also received the Middle School Homework Policy. Parents, please read over the policy, sign, and return to school. Students, give the signed policy to your House mentor in the morning. There is no homework today, but tomorrow, we will jump in with a quick review of whole number operations and then begin our decimals unit on Wednesday.
