Extra Credit

Where did the year go?! I just wanted to let you know I have extra credit points to put in for both math and science. Some students received a lot of extra credit, so this should help to improve their final grades. I will be putting these in either this afternoon or tomorrow, that way you can look at your students final grades before grade cards come out.

Library Books

Students got notices yesterday, if they still have a library book checked out. These books need to be returned as soon as possible. Many students turned theirs in this morning, but if they are not turned in, students will be expected to pay the school back for the missing book(s).

Final Project

Yesterday, students received their last project for the 6th grade. Many students have already completed this project! Students will be interviewing you about their birth, and presenting their birth story on Monday. We will be have ice cream and celebrate everyone's "birth"-day.

Field Trip

The field trip that was scheduled for Friday will now be on Tuesday. We will leave at 10:30 instead of 11:30, so a sack lunch will still be necessary for tomorrow! Please let me know if you have questions!

Extra Credit

All extra credit will be due tomorrow. I originally told the students it would be due today, but I will extend it one more day!

Science Unit

Next week we will start a unit on Sex Education. A note was sent home yesterday explaining topics that will be covered. In case the note didn't make it home to you, it stated the following:

Dear Parents / Guardians,

The Board of Education requires that programs in human sexuality and AIDS education be provided at both the elementary and secondary level. During the week of May 16^th, the sixth grade class will begin a unit on sex education. Topics we plan to cover include self-esteem and relationships, the reproductive system, fetal development, childbirth and STD’s. We will also review the changes that occur with puberty. Several films will be presented, with discussion to follow. I will be happy to address any questions or concerns you may have. If you do not want your child to be involved please contact me. I can be reached at school (989-4425) or by e-mail at alorenz@usd114.org.

                                                            Thank You,

                                                           

                                                           

                                                            Andrea Lorenz  

Field Trip

Please do not forget, a sack lunch is necessary for tomorrow!

Scale Drawings

The scale drawings will be due on Tuesday. Don't forget, if students choose to present their poster they will receive 5 points of extra credit.

Permission Slips

Please be sure that your child gets their field trip permission slip and money turned in by Monday. Only about half of the students have turned theirs in.

Red Cross

There is a collection can in my classroom to donate money to the red cross. The money will be used in the relief efforts for the Alabama Tornadoes.

Pizza Party

The pizza party for students who achieved 'exceeds standards' or above on at least one of the Kansas Assessments, will be tomorrow at 1:00. Students should know who they are, as Mrs. Murphy visited with every student individually about their KCA scores.

Field Day T-Shirts

Tomorrow is the last day to purchase field day t-shirts!
