6th Grade Crew

Happy Friday!

This week flew by, maybe the little bit of cooler weather helped things move more quickly. It was great seeing the kids at Bear Crawl on Friday too! Thanks for all the donations and support of our school throughout the fundraiser. Remember, there is no school for students on Monday September 21st.

Hope you all have a fabulous weekend!

Sincerely, The 6th Grade Teachers

Ms. Simon, Ms. Eliason, Ms. Hines & Mr. Crump

Before & After School Activities

We're excited to invite your child to join Pine Lane's Battle of the Books (BOTB) club this year! BOTB is a team-based reading competition designed to build literacy skills, foster a love of reading, and encourage friendly collaboration among students. Participants read a curated list of books together as a team, then compete against other teams by answering questions about the content—similar to a quiz bowl format. It's a wonderful opportunity for students in grades 3-6 to strengthen comprehension and critical thinking skills while making new friends who share their enthusiasm for reading. The club meets every Monday morning from 8:00-8:55 AM, and the cost to participate is $30. We'll be hosting a Parent Info Meeting on September 8th at 8:00 AM in the North Library to share more details about the program, expectations, and how you can support your child throughout the season. We hope you'll join us!

If you have any questions, reach out to Ms. Simon!

Kodiak Bears, Black Bears, Grizzly Bears

Students are loving fractions! This week we covered the basics of multiplying and dividing fractions. Next week we will dive deeper into division of fractions. The following week will be review and the Topic 1 Assessment, on September 30th.

Polar Bears

Students took their Topic 1 Assessments on Tuesday. Corrections were Wednesday in class and students were able to retake parts of the test they missed the first go around to better their score. Grades for this test will be re-released in google classroom over the weekend. Next week we will move into rational numbers.

Next week we are going to be outlining, writing our essays, and hopefully practice peer editing and revising next Friday!

On Friday, we took our Unit 1 Assessment on Geography. If your student was absent, please ensure they talk with Ms. Hines about finding a time to take this assessment.

Our students will be using ClassBank this year, which is a digital classroom economy platform. At the end of each week, students will have the opportunity to purchase things with the money they earn from our classroom stores. Due to this, the 6th Grade Teachers are looking for items (candy, chips, fruit, fidgets, snacks, and little trinkets) to stock our classroom stores.

If you are able, please send items in with your students this week, or throughout the year!
