Welcome to May! Wow, this year has truly flown by! This month is a very busy month for 6th grade, and will be over in "a blink of an eye" because of everthing we have upcoming. There are many fun events, such as trips Ice Cream Days, and, not to mention, that extended Memorial Day weekend!! There is also the Math state exams on May 1 & 2 and , at the end of the month, the school begins final exams. I have already spoken to the class about the finals and what to expect.

  
 In our ELA class, the students are enjoying reading the Lightning Thief. We are more than halfway through the book & all  are very excited to see what will unfold with Percy Jackson! I am so glad the class is enjoying the reading selection! In SS class, we just finished studyinig Ancient Greece so, this book is a perfect fit for our curriculum!

Presently in SS, we are studying Ancient Rome, which is another very intriguing topic for the class. Addtionally, the class is very excited about our upcoming trip to Medieval Times on May 22, 2019! That trip also pairs nicely with our SS curriculum we study this year! 

As always, I am very appreciative of all the support you provide me throughout the year.  I encourage you to utalize the email push notification system through Google Classroom. This allows you as the parents to be aware of the various classroom assignments, homework, quizzes, tests, or resources we are using on a daily basis in our Google Classroom. 

                                                                                                                  Thank you, 
                                                                                                                   Mrs. Brass

Be sure to have a silent reading book in school every day!

**Anytime the students have the opportunity to type a report or paper for me, they must type their papers in 12 point font and font style should be Ariel or Times New Roman. Also, typed papers should be double spaced and include a full heading as well as a cover. This year, we will discuss the MLA format that the students will be expected to incorporate into the papers they will be required to complete.
