We have been really busy the last couple of weeks in 6th grade. We have been doing a lot of review and prep for state assessments in both math and reading. In Science we have been learning about our genes and what we inherit from our parents. In Social Studies we have been learning about Ancient China. In math we have also learned about how to find perimeter and area.
Conferences are today and tomorrow. No school Friday or Monday!
Thanks to parents for all your help with the valentines party! 
Please look over your childs mid terms with them.

On Friday afternoon we will have our Halloween party in the cafeteria. Please remember that your child should not come to school in their costumes. Also please remember that their costumes should not have a scary look to them and any thing portraying a weapon is not acceptable! Look forward to seeing all the great looking costumes!
