My students are doing a fine job "adapting" to sixth grade in our middle school environment!

Students need to fill out their assignment notebooks daily for each class! Parents can help out by checking student assignment notebooks daily at home and ask to see completed assignments. We continue improving our organizational skills and take responsibility for our own work!

We start our year off studying adaptations in life science. After that will will study Forces and Astronomy. We will end our year by building and launching rockets!
