Hi 6th Grade Parents,
Thank you for all your help in making this year’s Engineering Fair a success! Please make sure your child comes Wednesday morning with their display board. Projects can come that morning, or, if it’s more convenient, at 5;45 when the students are supposed to arrive at Saint Joe’s.
Coming home today are two field trip permission slips, one for Friday’s walking trip to the planetarium at MVHS and the second for our salmon release trip on the 19th. We still need a chaperone or two for our trip on the 19th. Please make sure your child has warm clothes and a sack lunch.
Also on the 19th, 6th Grade Parents will be having a virtual meeting at 6:00 PM with Ellen Tennis from the Archdiocese of Seattle about Earth Camp this year. Please join us if you can. The meeting will be through Microsoft Teams. I will send the link right after this message. I can send it again next Monday. If you don’t have Teams on your computer at home feel free to join me in the classroom for the presentation. Earth Camp will be May 8th-10th. We still need at least one mom and one dad to chaperone! You can split your time there up with another parent if you can’t be there the whole three days.
Our tiny forest planting project will be Friday, March 22nd. We will start with a blessing of the plants at 9:00. Please join us if you can!
6th grade goes to Reconciliation Wednesday afternoon.
Progress reports will go home Tuesday.
20 second book reports on Friday.
In 6th math we are getting familiar with algebra.
For science we are studying the motion of the earth. In social studies, Alexander the Great. In writing we are finishing up our mascot letters.

Dear Parents,
Sixth graders are doing a daily reflection on the Stations of the Cross. This week they will also celebrate the Sacrament of Reconciliation. They will begin to take a look at the leadership of the Israelites from prophets, to judges, to kings. They will research several people from the Old Testament who were important in the early faith. Do forget to have your child complete some service this month.
Blessings,
Mrs. Reichlin
7 Math – We are working on our geometry unit and polygons this week. Students have IXL homework tonight, BB.1, BB.2, BB.3, and BB.4 to 70%. Tomorrow, Tuesday, we will have a quiz on area and perimeter. Wednesday – Friday, we will focus on Triangles. Students should expect daily homework.
6 Reading – We finished up quadrant 3 of Esperanza Rising today. Students should complete the quadrant summary for homework, as well as any missing worksheets for the novel.
