December is Really Here!

CONGRATULATIONS!

December is actually here and we are officially done with 1/3 of the school year.  All students will start on Monday, December 3rd with an A in Math class.  This trimester I will be available to stay after school with students who are seeking help.  This will be the only trimester that I will be able to do this and I expect to have students at least 3 days a week. 

Unit 3

We are beginning Unit 3 at the start of the New Trimester.  This is a longer unit on Operations with Whole Numbers, Fractions and Decimals.  This is the heart of the information students really need to understand during their 6th grade year.  It is by far the most challenging, however, I expect that all students will be successful. 

My Apologies

I have to take a moment to apologize for being gone towards the end of the Trimester.  I know it is difficult to have a substitute at anytime, however, I still expect all students to be learning even with my absense.  I have decided not to count the Unit Test (which was given the Wednesday before Thanksgiving) in their Trimester 1 grade because I didn't want it to have a negative effect on their grade without giving the opportunity to make it up before the Trimester was over.  The homework that was given does count toward their Trimester 1 grade since there was opportunity to ask questions and work with partners on their work to help with understanding. 


As always, if you have any questions for me please feel free to contact me at anytime!
Thanks,
Mrs. Reiter
