We made it through our first full week of school. Hurray! We had our first Technology class and our first trip to the school library. We had our first PE and Music classes. We triumphed over our first 6th grade Spelling list and tackled a Vocabulary Unit for the first time. Did your kids look a little tired by the time they hit Friday? They had a good reason to be!
We also took the time to laugh and play a bit! (I know..shocking..playing and laughing in 6th grade?) I pulled out the light saber and we played Ninja Math with Order of Operations in Math, thus earning their teacher the nickname "Darth Beach". We played the traditional 6th grade Spelling game on Thursday. Riley's row won and was awarded Kit Kats! And..the desk fairy visited for the first time and everyone's desk passed inspection! Tootsie Roll Pops for everyone!
This week we add Spanish and Dance to the mix and the students' schedule will be complete. The first pizza sale is Wednesday. Thanks to Mrs. Vila for counting the orders again this year!
On Friday we will go to Mass as usual, and then attend a special prayer service remembering the victims of 9/11 at 1:45. Please join us for this special service.
While on the topic of 9/11...I am trying to cover this gently and carefully in class. Please be aware of what your children are watching on TV as we approach this anniversary. With all the anniversary specials, it would be easy for the children to be traumatized. I have suggested that they watch these specials ONLY with your supervision.
Have a wonderful week!
