Dear Families,

This month in science we will be working Plate Tectonics and possibly moving into renewable energy resources. We have recently finished learning about fossils and will be using our knowledge to help us understand the Continental Drift Theory! In math we are finishing up an algebraic unit on balancing equations. Starting next week we will be studying probabilities and rate, and we will also continue work on division of decimals.

In reading we will be finishing Theme 6 by mid May. As a result, we will be completing the Houghton Mifflin series for sixth grade. The rest of this year’s reading classes will be focused primarily on reviewing the comprehension skills and strategies that we’ve all ready learned but through the use of chapter books. In social studies we will be finishing our current study of ancient Greece with a unit on the Olympics. I’m hoping; weather permitting, that we will participate in our own version of the Olympics. After that we will be taking quick looks at other ancient civilizations from China to the Americas.

Mrs. Heon

Mr. Durr
