Hi Everyone,

Hope you all had a wonderful 3 day weekend. 

This week we are going to continue our study of The Westing Game and Shakespeare. 

We will also have our essay on myaccess.com be due this coming Thursday on whether or not we should allow cell phones at schools. The students all know how to log on, so it might be a nice activity to ask them to read to you what they have written. Each day they get to work on their essays for 30 minutes. Let me know if you have any questions on this.

We will continue to work on algebra. They are venturing into solving inequalities right now. This is coming slowly, but we will work hard to make sure everyone understands how to do what we are trying to do. I know I have been gone a lot this year. I really want to be accessible to you, though. If you have any questions about curriculum, will you please email me. I am collecting quite the collection of videos for my library that can be found here. This helps me know which concepts need additional instruction and gets me to get the video library built up. 

Anyway, let me know if you have any questions or concerns.

Thanks!

Mr. Emett

Valentine's Day

This Friday we will have our 6th grade Valentine's Talent show. If you would really like to perform again for the 6th grade, please let me know. Also, if you would like to see someone else perform again, let me know and I can talk to that person about doing their talent again.
I am including students first names in case you would like to send Valentines for exchange. This is not a requirement, but we will have time in class to exchange if you want. We will also have a little treat for the kids to eat and while they are exchanging Valentines.
