First, Ms.Dubberke explained the middle school rules and when to interrupt her during class. She told us about how the directions will be on the whiteboard every morning with a meme and what materials to get out. If we didn’t know what to do or get out, the directions would always be on the board.
When we were done, we wrote and drew on a paper how she would get to know us. Then, we played games to get to know Ms.Dubberke. We did brain teasers before we went over to Mrs.Riemenschneider’s class.
In Mrs.Riemenschneider’s class, we learned about imports and our homework was to find 3 imports at home.
What's Happening in Grade 6?
Lots and lots of "here's how we do things" this week: how to organize a binder, how to use a planner, how to switch classes and travel efficiently, class jobs. and looking out for each other. The students have been good listeners and getting right into the routine.
One of our big goals this year is for students to become more independent in their learning. This news blog will update you on current happenings, but in 6th grade I do not publish upcoming assignments or tests. These are things your child will be tracking in their assignment planner. If an individual student needs more organizational help, I will work one-on-one with that student. I plan to publish this blog weekly on Mondays. I will send you a remind when the blog is updated!
Student Council
The STUCO interest meeting will be held on Tuesday, 8/20 from 3:00-3:30 in Mr. Weinhold’s room. If your child is interested in joining Student Council, they should plan on attending. If they are unable to be at the meeting, please have your child email Mrs. Donner and Mr. Weinhold to let them know they would like to join. Students who do not contact these teachers may lose the opportunity to join Student Council for the 24-25 school year. Thanks!
Mrs. Donner
More info: Student council is organized in project based committees. Students may join a committee that is not during their sports season. They do things like Red Ribbon Week, Thanksgiving Food Drive, Early Childhood chapel, and Jr. High Dances. It's a great leadership learning opportunity!
