Reading
Book Club readers have been given the green light to keep reading, welcoming them to finish their book. An A.R. test can be taken thereafter. Check to be sure the necessary packet activities have been completed. We will be completing this Book Club session before Christmas break.
Our 6th grade goal is to earn nine Accelerated Reader (AR) points per quarter. Students can access AR tests by copying and pasting the following link into the address bar:

Science
Unit 4, "Our Restless Earth" , Lessons 1-3, pages 190-224, will be tested on Wed., Dec. 13.
Math
Chapter 5 Test is tentatively scheduled for Tuesday, Dec. 12.
Parents: most of our students need review of their basic facts in addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division. 5 to 10 minutes of practice a few days a week would be very helpful to most students.
Students will have a problem of the week due every Friday when there is at least a 4 day week. The problem is given the first day of the week. The problem must follow the five step outline given in class. Parents, please feel free to check on this and even help them if they need it.

Roots & Vocab - Root of the week: -phon- meaning sound. As a reminder: the definitions need to include the meaning of the root and must not use the word itself in the definition - if you are defining the word microphone, you may not use the word microphone in the definition.
