Week 13: What's happening in 6th!

 From the Class Blogger:

This week we are reading Among the hidden. It's about this kid named Luke and there is a rule that you can't have more than 2 kids.  Luke's parents had 3, Luke is the shadow child and he is the 3rd child . We are playing cup stacking in the gym and my best score for stacking is 1.1. I hope everyone had a good week.

Pen Pals!

 As we began the year looking at God's gift of creation and how He values all life, the sixth grade began a pen pal project with residents at the Lutheran Senior Center: Breeze Park.  We were delayed with logistics but are now starting to receive letters back.  Our goal is to bring some smiles to people who may be a bit lonely and pray for our friends. The kids have been so tickled to get responses - one letter was even in Spanish!

We will be going to visit our friends on Friday, Dec. 15 to sing Christmas carols with them.  We will leave campus at 1:00 to return by 2:45.  I will once again I am seeking parent drivers - and maybe a parent to help plan our visit.   Email me if you can help!

When illness hits!

It's that time of year!   It's no fun being sick and especially no fun trying to do school from home. 

* Please email me if your child is ill and indicate whether you are able to pick up HW

*Books and materials are available at 3:00 in the school office foyer

*The Daily Assignment Sheet is where to find assignments  (link above and in GC- homeroom).  Note tabs at the bottom for the correct week and look for links to lesson slides, etc

 

If a child is sick multiple days,  I encourage them to work one day at a time (vertically) down the assignment doc to stay organized and complete one day's work at a time.  Not all assignments are digital, so not all are not posted on an individual student's Google Classroom homepage.  Remind your child to email teachers questions.    Here is more from our Family Handbook:

In general, when students return they should have prepared as a minimum the lessons due the first day of their absence. All lessons should be made up within the same number of school days as were missed, up to three school days. In special circumstances a parent may request a teacher or administrator to consider an extension. Prior to a planned absence, a parent may request advance assignments with the understanding that these assignments may not yet be available. Assignments that have been provided in advance are due on the day the student returns; otherwise the assignment is subject to late-work penalties.
