Mrs. Knoedler’s 6^th Grade Classroom Newsletter

April 17, 2015

Dear Families,

I hope you all have a restful break next week.  This will be a short newsletter. Students have been working diligently on writing opinion pieces, learning about the Middle Ages, and reviewing math skills. 

The one big assignment on the horizon is the Castle Project due Friday May 22.  Also, please remember that on the Tuesday after we return, April 28, we will begin the Smarter Balanced Assessment Consortium (SBAC) testing.  Please try to make sure your child has a good night’s sleep and a good breakfast.  The testing days for the 6^th grade are:  April 28, 29, 30, (Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday) and May 5, 6 (Tuesday and Wednesday).  If possible, try to schedule medical appointments around these dates.   It is important for students to be in school on those dates. 

See you in a week!  Ellen
