Calendar

There is a calendar on Edline. This calendar includes a variety of things: HW assignments, tests, quizzes, other assignments/projects/presentations/etc., special events, other due dates for the class or school, other important dates, etc.

This calendar is meant to be a back-up for learning about assignments, not the sole way to know what is due. Everything that is due including homework, tests, quizzes, projects, etc. is written on the chalkboard. In addition, I tell the students what the assignments are. I also tell them about any extra things going on. The students all have a copy of the spelling lists and can look up the Bible verse for the test in their own Bible. This is not supposed to be a replacement for writing things down. The students are still responsible to write things in their student planner. They need to be in the habit of writing things down for next year when they have multiple teachers who do not have web calendars. On rare occasions, something on the calendar may be wrong or missing. I try to keep it updated, but sometimes I get very busy and forget. This is another good reason why your child should have everything written down in their planner.

Birthday Celebrations:

Birthdays are of course, still celebrated in sixth grade. Feel free to bring in a treat for the class on your child's birthday (see schedule below). Please bring in something that is already ready to serve (doesn't need to be cut or anything along those lines). We will eat it during our lunch time.

There are 24 students in the class, along with any extras that you want to send in for your child to pass around to other teachers (I don't eat dessert or snacks). For the birthday schedule, I tried to keep your child's real birthday for the celebration (but with weekends, vacations, and summer, that wasn't always possible). The date your child is scheduled for his/her birthday celebration is first, in bold. The real date is in parenthesis.

Please talk to me if you have a conflict with your child's scheduled day.

    Book It

    How Book It works:

  • The BOOK IT! Program starts October 1, 2007 and ends March 31, 2008.

  • Read 60 minutes a week for one month in order to get a free personal pan pizza. That's only 10 minutes a day with one day off.

  • You must read 60 minutes a week. You can divide the time up in any way during that week, but you cannot overlap weeks. (Ex: You can read 60 min. on a Saturday and be done for the week or split it up. But you cannot read 90 minutes for the week and have it count for the next week also. You may read more than 60 minutes a week, of course, but you have to read 60 minutes each week for it to count for BOOK IT!)

  • Books need to be age-appropriate. Magazines, TV/Video/Computer Game guides, and comic books don't count. Required reading also does not count. The newspaper is fine.

  • Fill out the reading log and have your parent sign it at the end of the month.

  • At the end of the month, if the goal has been met, hand in the reading log to me and I will give you a pizza award certificate.

  • Take the certificate to a Pizza Hut restaurant and you'll be given a free, one-topping Personal Pan Pizza. On the first visit, you'll also receive a BOOK IT! card with clip and a sticker for the card. (There is no purchase necessary and the pizza can be taken to go.)

  • On each visit after that, you'll get another Personal Pan Pizza and a sticker for the card.

  • You can also earn "Miss Crachi money" by completing Book It each month.

  • If you meet the reading goals all six months of the program, you will be rewarded at the restaurant with a BOOK IT! All-Star Reader Award. In addition, you will get a reward from Miss Crachi.

  • BOOK IT! reading can be used for Miss Crachi Money as well. Just keep track of your pages and record it on the extra reading sheet.

    Book Orders

    Mrs. Brown is in charge of Book Orders. Here is a note that she sent home in the beginning of the year:

    Dear Parents,

    Welcome to the new school year and welcome to book clubs. You and your child will have several opportunities throughout the school year to order books. By doing so, you will receive quality books for your child at great prices and earn bonus points that the teacher can use towards classroom materials.

    Each month your child will bring home order forms from various book clubs. Select the books you would like to purchase and complete each order form. A separate check is necessary for each club. Please send order form(s) and check(s) into the teacher by the due date on the order form. Late orders will be accepted, but will be placed with the following month’s order. Please know that books ordered late may be back ordered or out of stock by the time the company processes them. Every effort will be made to make certain that the students receive their book selections.

    REMINDERS:

  • Complete order form.
  • Make check(s) payable to the appropriate book club (God’s World or Scholastic). No cash please!
  • Orders are due by the date on the order form. Orders received after the due date will be sent with the next month’s order.

    Please feel free to contact me with any questions you may have. Happy Reading!

    Mrs. Brown
