6th Graders:

1. Students should be practicing their multiplication facts a few minutes daily. Dr. Gray from SLU suggests "Timez Attack" to motivate your child to practice their facts. You can order the software on the internet. The makers of Play Station games makes this software. I have had a family try it and they love it! What a wonderful Christmas present this would be for your child.

2. The next test is Tuesday Dec. 2: Chapter 5: Lessons 1,2,4,6,7

3. IMPORTANT: LETTER CAME HOME REGARDING 6TH GRADE ADVENT PROJECT. IT Was ON COLORED PAPER. PLEASE ASK YOUR CHILD ABOUT IT. The 6th grade classes have adopted 6 children from Holiday for Kids. We are providing Christmas for them. We are collecting donations this week. Ms. Inman, Ms. Ray, and myself will go shopping for the children. We will then allow the students to wrap the gifts and prepare them for the family. This will allow them to feel the spirit of giving during our advent project. God Bless you for helping teach your children the beauty of Christian giving during this blessed season.

1. You should be checking your child's grades on the computer on a regular basis. Don't have your code? Call the office.

2. I never post grades for the beginning of any 9 week period until after the first test or quiz. This allows for a truer reflection of their progress in Math.

3. I do not send home any test papers until all make-up tests have been taken. This may result in a slight delay in test papers coming home for parent viewing. However, they will be posted promptly on grades on line and the students will view them promptly.
