The last week of school! Who would think it would come this quick?
Mrs. Fulmer's class is having a fractions test this week.
Mrs. Rose's class is having a warm up quiz this week.
My reading class is continuing with language!.
My math class is reviewing fractions.
Have a great summer.

Hello,
This week we're still working hard! There may be only 10 more days, but there's lots to learn.
Mrs. Fulmer's class is working on integers, both positive and negative. Addition has already been covered, and we're working on multiplying them now. There is a test scheduled for sometime next week.
Mrs. Rose's science class is starting on energy. We'll be talking about several types, including solar and fossil. Fossil is so important to all of us right now.
My math class is also working on integers. We're using number lines and discs as manipulatives to represent positive and negative numbers.
My reading class is working on the Language! program. Everything in this program is done during class.
Enjoy the spring,
Carla Haack
Happy Cinco de Mayo!
Only three more weeks to go this school year. Our "baby" sixth graders will be "grown up" seventh graders all too soon.
This week Mrs. Rose's science class is finishing their study on Astronomy. A study guide went home Friday, and there will be a test on Thursday.
Mrs. Fulmer's math class is taking their Problem Solving Test. This test is given periodically throughout the sixth grade to track progress. It's hard, but students should be showing growth on it.
My math class is also taking the Problem Solving Test. We'll be working on review of fractions and order of operations, too.
My reading class is working on comprehension with a variety of passages to study.

And the CRCT continues.....this week we have the Science and Social Studies sections.
All students participated in the math writing last month. This week they will be given back and students asked to reflect on how they did. They will also be comparing their writing from the first prompt of the year to now, hopefully showing their growth.
In math we will begin positive and negative integers, probably the first of next week.
In science we're continuing with our moon log assignments.
My reading class is working on the computers (Academy of Reading) when not testing this week.

This is the week CRCT begins. Testing teachers have been assigned to all students. Your child should have been told who their testing teacher will be and where the testing will take place by tomorrow.
Please see that your child has a good night's sleep and a good breakfast and brings two requirements to testing: 2 #2 pencils (NO MECHANICALS - not even if labeled #2) and a book to read if finished early.
I hope we all do well on the CRCT this year.

Welcome back from Spring Holidays!
We only have 7 school days before CRCT testing begins. Teachers will be reviewing for it this week and Monday and Tuesday of next week. Please have your students adopt an attitude of scholarly attention.
Mrs. Rose's science class is still working on the solar system. The students have been studying planets and orbits.
Mrs. Fulmer will continue an in-depth review for CRCT. There's a lot to cover.
My reading class is working on strategies for determining meaning of words and passages from context. I hope it will help on the CRCT.
My math class, like Mrs. Fulmer's, is reviewing for CRCT. Students' attitudes will make a big difference during the review and on their CRCT results.

Hi,
It's already Wednesday, and the week's still full.
Mrs. Fulmer's math class just finished testing over geometry, with area, perimeter, and volume. It was hard. We're starting on direct variations and proportions now.
Mrs. Rose's science class is working on seasons now. We're enjoying pretending to be Earth and Moon.
My math class is working on algebraic expressions and geometry at the same time.
My reading class just finished Tuck Everlasting. We'll be doing some short exercises in comprehension for a while.
Enjoy this weather!

Hi,
There are only 26 school days before the CRCT. All around the school people are reviewing and trying to get ready.
There are 4 days before the end of the 9-week grading period.
There are 19 days before Spring Holidays.
Mrs. Fulmer's math class is working on geometry.
Mrs. Rose's science class is having a test at the end of the week.
My reading class is working on Tuck Everlasting along with comprehension and decoding.
My math class is working on one-step equations and order of operations.
Thanks,
Carla Haack
Hi,
There was a robin in my yard all week end! I'm ready for spring!
Mrs. Fulmer's math class has a quiz tomorrow over perimeter and area. Students should know the formulas and be able to use them. Mrs. Fulmer is having a study session at 8:15, before the test.
There is also a project on comparing area and perimeter, due Wednesday.
Mrs. Rose's science class is having a notebook quiz tomorrow. I have prepared a Table of Contents for students to use to be organized for the quiz. Organization will be the key for making a good grade.
My reading class is working on the Academy (computer) today. The rest of the week we'll be reading Tuck Everlasting.
My math class is working on decimals. We've finished adding and subtracting decimals, including money. Now we're working on multiplying and dividing! Great fun!

Hi,
There's not much to this week, just three days.
In Math Mrs. Fulmer's class is having a test Friday over measurement and perimeter. See her blog and my study guide.
In science we'll be discussing last night's lunar eclipse.
My reading class is studying Tuck Everlasting.
My math class will be testing over addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, and equality of fractions.
Hope everyone had a fun Presidents' Day!
