Sixth Grade Newsletter


Wow, time is going by quickly! We are ready to start taking are first tests of the year. So please make sure you are getting plenty of sleep this week and eating breakfast. Our memory will be the Second Commandment and its meaning, Psalm 111:10, and Leviticus 24:15. They will be due in this order on Tuesday, Thursday and Friday.

As I mentioned before, there will be a couple of tests this week. Starting with World History on Wednesday, when we will have our test on Ch. 1- Digging Up the Past. Then we will start on Ch. 2- Early Civilizations for the rest of the week. Our next test will be on Friday in Math, we will finish up our unit with lessons on perimeter, number line, sequences and scales. In Religion, there will be a conclusion to Genesis with the story of Joseph. Last but not least(especially in the kids eyes) is PE, we have been playing soccer these past two weeks and will be wrapping up our unit this week.

Monday is for current events in World History, bring something in to share if you remember. You will receive ten points for the month when you bring something in to share.

In His Service,

Week One is in the Books!

Hooray, we all made it through the first week of school. This was a great week and I have been truly blessed with a great class! God was looking out for me and has placed me in a great situation. Just a couple of notes to pass along, we go to Camp Luther this week, if you have not brought in your money and permission slip then make sure you get that done. We will have three verses for memory this week, due to us going to Camp Luther on Friday, memory will be due on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday. They will have the first commandment and its meaning, 1 Corinthians 8:4, and Isaiah 42:8.

In Religion, the key narratives in Genesis will remain our focus. We will continue to go through chapter 1 in math, this week there will be some more work with unknown numbers, but we will also be getting into order of operations, fractions and lines, segments and rays. Remember to bring in items for current events. In world history our studies will focus on the stone age and how cultures progressed while becoming more complex at this time. Last but not least is PE, we have already started learning some of the fundamentals of soccer and we will continue to play soccer while getting more into the gameplay.

Let's have a great second week and keep up the good work!
