6th Grade News
We finished our month of food collection with 4 full boxes
of food and sent them down to the food shelf on Monday. Thank you for your help
with this. The 8th grade is collecting for the month of November.
You may leave donations in the box by Tammy’s office. The 6th grade
students made posters and announced the need for donations at ASM many times
during our month. The students will be researching hunger in VT for a brief
presentation at ASM before Thanksgiving break.
We continue to work on getting and staying organized. The
class spent time getting all their loose papers properly placed in the
appropriate binders and folders. The students are better able to locate and use
their resources once they have done this organization. We also continue to talk
about how to plan, prioritize and get their assignments done on time.
In our free time, the class has prepared cards for Sheryl
and begun an extended game of Apples to
Apples. I have just finished reading to them the short story: The Lady or the Tiger, which generated a
lively discussion and we have started Homer
Price, which they all seem to enjoy.
I am in hopes of having 5th 8th grade
skating planned soon, with a possible first date of Friday, Nov. 15. So… check
that the skates fit and are sharpened and please make sure they have guards or
a hefty bag to live in. Remember one good pair of socks that reaches above the skate
will help to avoid blisters. (Deb and I have also made the first inquiries to
Okemo about the 6-week ski program that starts after the first of the year.)
Yesterday I spent an hour with Tara and Benjamin. They are both doing well.
