Hello families! I hope you all had a wonderful November! We have just 3 short weeks of work in December. This year is flying by already! In the first week of December we will be wrapping up Module 2. We will take our End of Module Assessment on Thursday, December 5th. Module 3 is on Rational Numbers. Please visit my Eureka Math page to check out what's coming up! Our main focuses in this Module will be positive and negative numbers and the coordinate plane. Our most useful models will be number lines and the coordinate plane (graphs).
Thank you to everyone who participated in parent/teacher conferences, it was great to see you all!
I hope you all have a wonderful December. Thank you for your continued support! :) - Mrs. Gray Important Dates This Month:

Tomorrow we will take our Module 2 Topic A Quiz. It will be a very short quiz! The answers to the study guide are below. Please let me know if you have any questions, I will be available through e-mail until 5:30 tonight. Thanks and have a great night! - Mrs. Gray   Hello families!
October was a great month in 6th grade, I can't believe it's already November! In October we finished up Module 1 and started our first lesson of Module 2. We are currently on Lesson 3 and will have our Topic A Quiz next week. We will also have a Topic B Quiz and an End of Module Assessment for Module 2. Our goal is to finish Module 2 by the end of November! Module 2 is focused on fractions and other arithmetic operations. If you work at home with your student on drawing basic fraction models (like the ones pictured) that would be a HUGE helping in setting them up for success throughout this module. Making sure they are also very comfortable with their times table will be helpful. E-mails have been coming home about tests for students who have gotten 100% and students who need to make corrections. Please let me know if you would like me to add you to our e-mail list so you can get important updates about class. Parent/Teacher conferences are coming up November 25th and 26th! Please use the following link if you would like to sign up. Conferences are NOT REQUIRED. If you would like an e-mail update about your student or a phone conference, please let us know. https://signup.com/go/XqjLBjH Thank you all for your continued support in our classroom. If you have any questions, conversations, or concerns please reach out at any time. Have a wonderful month, I hope that it is spent with thanks and around loved ones! - Mrs. Gray Important Dates This Month: - November 5th: NO SCHOOL - Election Day - November 8th: Red, White, & Blue Day - No Cost - Upper School ONLY - November 8th: Salute to Service - Veteran's Day Tribute (See invitation below) - November 11th: NO SCHOOL - Veteran's Day - November 13th: PCA Pride Day - Free - November 14th: Picture Make Ups - November 15th: Upper School PBS - November 18th: Trimester 2 Begins - November 22nd: Report Cards Sent Home - November 22nd: NUT Day - $2 - November 25th/26th: Parent Teacher Conferences - November 27th - 29th: NO SCHOOL Hi everyone! Tomorrow we will start our End of Module 1 Assessment. Students have had two days of review (Monday and Tuesday) and worked on the study guide today. The answers are below. Please take a few minutes to check in with your student and review for their test tomorrow. Thanks and have a great night! :) - Mrs. Gray Hi all, Our Topic B Quiz is tomorrow, October 3rd. Here are the study guide answers so your student can review tonight. Study guides will be turned in before the quiz tomorrow. Happy Wednesday! :) - Mrs. Gray  Hello families! September was a great month in 6th grade! Students are really working hard on following expectations, and this month our focus is to tighten up on expectations. We are working on achieving the high standards that are set and succeeding as a team. :) In math class we are continuing with Module 1. We are starting the month on Lesson 14 and we will have our Topic B Quiz on Thursday, October 3rd with a review day before. Please be on the lookout for a study guide coming home. Study guides are always sent home the night before a test and are due for a grade the next day. This helps us all stay on the same page about how students are preparing for tests. If you have not gotten my letter about expectations for Test Corrections, please visit my Class Policies page for more information. Looking ahead, we will be doing our End of Module Assessment sometime during the week of October 21st. This will wrap up Module 1, then we will be moving on to Module 2 - Arithmetic Operations Including Division of Fractions. More information will be coming on my Eureka Math page as we start the new module. I have had several questions about homework - for math I do not give daily homework, but there are 2 consistent things that you should be on the lookout for with your students: 1. Study Guides - (see above) 2. Morning Work - attached at the bottom is a letter I sent home with students about my expectations for morning work. This work is given every Monday and due every Friday. We are off to a strong start in 6th grade and I am already so proud of the progress the students have made in just a few short weeks. If you have not received an e-mail from me yet, please reach out to me with your e-mail so I can include you in important updates. Feel free to reach out to me any time with questions, comments, or concerns - I am always willing to keep an open line of communication. Thank you for all of your support and have a great October! :) - Mrs. Gray Important dates this month: - October 7th: Progress Report Grades Due - October 8th: PTO Meeting - 6 p.m. - October 10th: Picture Day - October 11th: Progress Reports Sent Home & N.U.T Day ($2) - October 14th: Columbus Day - NO SCHOOL - Week of October 21st - Book Fair - October 25th: Professional Development - NO SCHOOL FOR STUDENTS - October 31st: Halloween Parade - 2 p.m. 
Please work on comparing your answers with mine. If you have any questions, we will use the first few minutes of class tomorrow to go over the study guide. There are no excuses for you to not get full credit for your study guide :) - Mrs. Gray   Hello everyone!
This page will be for monthly updates and news about our class. In September we will be working on learning and mastering our classroom procedures and expectations. We have very high expectations of our 6th graders and know they will do great learning how things work in the Upper School. In math class we will be using our school-wide Eureka Math curriculum. We are starting with Module 1 - Ratios & Proportions. Please visit my Eureka Math page for more information about our curriculum and specifically what we will be working on in Module 1. There is also a Parent Tip sheet that will outline some of the vocabulary and strategies we will be using so you can talk to your student about what is going on in class. I have a new student teacher, Ms. Branin, from the University of Delaware who will be co-teaching with me from now until Thanksgiving. Keep an eye out for an introduction letter coming home soon. If you have any questions about this please do not hesitate to contact me. We are off to a great start in our first couple weeks of school. I am so proud of all the students for working extremely hard to be the best sixth graders they can be! If you have any questions, comments, or concerns please contact me at any time. E-mail is the best way to contact me and I will usually respond within 24 hours. Thank you all for your support as we start off our 6th grade year! Have a fantastic September! :) - Mrs. Gray |
