Mrs. Knoedler’s 6^th Grade Class Newsletter

January 22, 2016

Dear Families,

            The folders for U32 were sent home on Thursday and hopefully you had an opportunity to attend the Parent Meeting last night at U32.  Please return all the information forms to EMES by Tuesday February 17^th.  Thanks so much.

            PERSON IN HISTORY:  Students are progressing with their Person in History profile.  Students should be working on the body or “chapters” of the paper and then on to the conclusion.  Students should be working on this at home. 

The poster presentation boards and another copy of the assignment and the rubric for the poster presentation, 3-D artifact, and the oral presentation were handed out today. Many students chose to leave them in school to work on them here, which is fine, but there may be further research that has to be done and that can be done at home.   Also, students should be working on the 3-D component for the presentation, their monologue for the night of the presentation, and their costume.  February 18^th will be here soon!  This is a huge multifaceted project that cannot be completed in a couple days.  Students should be working at home now.

BRIDGES:  Students were putting the final touches on their bridges today.  They are spectacular!  We will see how much weight they can hold next week.  Stay tuned for the exact time.  Perhaps, you can join us for the weigh in. 

Enjoy the full moon and the weekend. Ellen
