Hello Parents, Guardians, and Caregivers!

Monday 6/12 will be the 6th grade field trip to Canobie Lake Park. If your child is going, please make sure they bring the following things:

A bagged lunch or money to purchase lunch at the park
Rain gear. The forecast for Monday does include possible showers.
Sunscreen. Still important even if it’s cloudy!

Students do not need to bring their school bag with them Monday, as we will be gone the entire day.

On Thursday 6/15 we will be holding a field day! Students are encouraged to dress in their team colors, and again be prepared to spend the majority of their day outside!

Yours,
Cluster 1 Team

English Language Arts Update

This week, we’ll conclude our final book club unit with uproarious skits by our talented students. Students are writing scripts that will delve into a deep discussion of their novels and will hopefully provide some laughter too!

Thank you for your incredible support of this terrific group of students. Good luck in 7th grade!

Warm regards,

Mr. Allen

Math Update

This week, we wrapped up our unit on Positive and Negative Numbers with a Poster Project. Students were given various scenarios that they had to use to answer questions about opposites, absolute values and positive and negative numbers. They created wonderful posters to highlight various points within their scenario.

We are winding down our year and the students are excited for the fun filled last week of school. I hope everyone has a wonderful summer!

Thank you all for a great year,

Ms. Palermo

Science Update

What is that stupendous scent seeping out of the Science room? Squid! This week, Sixth Grade Marine Biologists did a great job examining the internal and external structures of the squid and relating them to their functions. Students learned how well adapted squid are to their environment. Ask them about it! The sixth graders asked interesting questions and were mature and curious throughout the activity. Thank you for providing paper towels.

It’s hard to believe the school year is almost over! Have a safe and restful summer and remind students to stop by and say hello next year!

Social Studies Update

This week, student studied the geography of Africa. After watching videos, looking at maps and reading informational text, students answered questions pertaining to each topic by filling in study sheets. After, students then designed a camel, illustrating the front of a camel and back. Mr. Noble
