It’s a short week, but a busy one for the 6th-grade! This Friday, sixth graders will lead a Rosary for our school, which will then be followed by our PBIS assembly and Mass. We hope to see you at any of these events!
WHAT WE’RE DOING THIS WEEK
Circle of Grace: October is the Circle of Grace month, where our students are educated and empowered to actively participate in a safe environment for themselves and others. Our Circle of Grace focus this year is on recognizing the influence of social media on relationships.
6th-Grade Reading: Students entered their reading groups for Crash today. Students read in class together, but they also must complete knowledge checks and participate in group discussions, which means some reading must come home with them if they do not finish in class. Students have their own copies of the novel to bring home; they just need to make sure it comes back for in-class reading. Here are upcoming due dates for reading: (Students should come to class already having read these chapters)
October 16th: Chapters 1-3
October 20th: Chapters 4-6
6th-grade Math: Today and tomorrow, we will review for our first unit test on Thursday. Some students have the content mastered, and others will need to do quite a bit of work to prepare for the test. Today, we will assess where we are and how much work each child needs to do.
On Friday, students will work on IXL skills.
Mrs. Rutherford
7th Grade Math: We are continuing to practice Order of Operations. IXL topics B.21, B.22, B.25, D.12, G.18, and J.7 to 70% are due on Friday. Students will also have another quiz on Friday before we move on to evaluating expressions.
6th Religion:
Dear Parents,
Sixth graders will lead our school community in a Rosary. The focus will be the Luminous Mysteries. The prayer service is scheduled for 9:00 on Friday, October 17 at Saint Joseph Center. Please join us.
Mrs. Reichlin
6th Grade Science: We are exploring our universe from gravity, to orbits, to galaxies. Students can expect to take many notes and have homework this week.
6th Grade Writing/Grammar: Students will be practicing topic sentences with 3 supporting details.
For grammar, we are continuing our work on prepositional phrases.
6th Grade Social Studies: Students will start exploring Mesopotamia this week, specifically, why it is called the Fertile Crescent and how farming allowed people there to settle in one place, develop cities, and create some of the world’s first civilizations.

Boletín de 6º Grado – 29 de septiembre de 2025
Octubre es el mes del Círculo de Gracia, cuando nuestros estudiantes aprenden y se empoderan para participar activamente en un entorno seguro para ellos mismos y los demás. Este año, nuestro enfoque del Círculo de Gracia está en reconocer la influencia de las redes sociales en las relaciones.
Los estudiantes comenzaron hoy sus grupos de lectura para Crash. Leen juntos en clase, pero también deben completar comprobaciones de conocimiento y participar en discusiones en grupo, lo que significa que parte de la lectura debe hacerse en casa si no terminan en clase.
Cada estudiante tiene su propio ejemplar del libro para llevar a casa, solo deben asegurarse de traerlo de regreso para leer en clase.
(Los estudiantes deben llegar a clase habiendo leído estos capítulos)
- 16 de octubre: Capítulos 1–3
- 20 de octubre: Capítulos 4–6
El viernes, los estudiantes trabajarán en habilidades de IXL.
Los temas de IXL B.21, B.22, B.25, D.12, G.18 y J.7 deben completarse al 70% para el viernes.
También tendrán otro examen corto el viernes antes de pasar a la evaluación de expresiones.
El servicio de oración está programado para las 9:00 a.m. del viernes 17 de octubre en el Saint Joseph Center.
