Language Arts: Continue working on essay "Do You Want Fame?" We will work on it in class on Monday and Tuesday. If your student has written less than 200 words, they are behind. The essay is due December 2. Students have been given plenty of notice in advance to decide if they want to finish the essay BEFORE the Thanksgiving vacation or AFTER.
Social Studies: Students should study for the Egypt test 5-10 minutes.
Mummy Message Clue: The words may be correct but the _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ is not. Proof! Do you know what an appositive is?
Teachers, I think you could have given the students prior notice that Fun Friday would be for only the Honor Roll students. Those kids who worked extra hard these past few weeks were very disappointed to learn they could not particiate in Fun Friday today. If you plan on having this be the reward for Honor Roll students each quarter, all the kids should know this in advance. I am proud of the Honor Roll kids, they've work hard, but some student's hard work isn't always reflected in the grades.
ReplyDeleteSixth grade reserves Fridays for "Falcon Friday". This day is reserved to finish up the week, library, music, and study hall classes for extra work time. This day helps sixth graders become Fantastic Falcons. "Fun Friday" is not associated nor planned like it is in 5th grade, in fact there is no "Fun Friday" in 6th grade. Sixth grade students will receive rewards when teachers determine there is a need for one, such as Honor Roll recipients. If students work hard and do well, there is a personal reward they should feel, and teachers will decide when it's time for rewarding. Those activities are planned accordingly and are not required, we do it to show our appreciation. Students should always work hard to do their best. Teachers know when that happens, and will reward accordingly. Thanks for your comment Mrs. Young, but I think you got the wrong information, so hopefully this clears up the misconception.
