My Advice to…

Students:

Get started on your Reading Log early this week…you’ll thank yourself Sunday night!

Parents:

I know many of you have used the Parent Portal in the past.  I hope that you will continue this year.  If you have not used the Parent Portal, I highly recommend taking the steps Mr. Reed posted below to get up and running.  It is a wonderful way to stay connected.

Just for FUN!!  THE PHONE NUMBER TRICK

By popular demand...

1. Find a calculator
2. type in the first 3 digits of your phone number (ex. 569)
3. X 80, then hit equals
4. + 1, then hit equals
5. X 250, then hit equals
6. Next, add the last 4 digits of the number, (ex. 1234) then hit equals
7. Add the last 4 digits AGAIN, then hit equals
8. Subtract 250, then hit equals
9. Divide by 2, then hit equals

It’s hard to believe that the first two weeks of school are behind us.  The students are doing a fine job meeting the high expectations of the 6^th grade team.  Keep it up!  I wanted to pass on a few reminders as we head into the weekend. 

• Reading Logs are due on MONDAY.  Please remember to get the reading log completed and signed by a parent.  The assignment is worth 10 points toward your READING grade, so get it done! J
• No Math Homework.  We will be learning about Order of Operations on Monday!
• Spelling Homework (write your words 5 times each) … due Tuesday 

We are now switching classes in the afternoon…so far, so good.  If you have a question/concern about your schedule, please see your homeroom teacher ASAP.

Mr. Reed - Fantasy Football - September 10, 2009

"Are you ready for some football?"

Tonight marks the beginning of the 2009 NFL season as the Pittsburgh Steelers play host to the Tennessee Titans at 8:30 pm on FOX. As the season unfolds, a number of sixth graders will have a vested interest in the performance of certain NFL players as they compete for the 1st ever Team 6 Fantasy Football Championship. By volunteering to participate in the Team 6 Fantasy Football League, they will be actively engaged in informational text, statistical analysis, data-based projections, and collaborative decision-making. In so doing, they'll be learning some of the skills necessary for success in the workplace while having a whole lot of fun.

Other teachers across the nation are taking advantage of the widespread interest in fantasy football by integrating it into their curriculum. Below is an excerpt from a recent article posted on TIME magazine's website -

"The fantasy craze has even crept into our educational system. Dan Flockhart, a former middle-school math teacher in California, designed a fantasy-based curriculum that thousands of teachers are using in their classrooms. His workbook, Fantasy Football and Mathematics, encourages students to draft teams and compute points according to formulas that incorporate basic math concepts like decimals, fractions and negative integers. But before you conclude that this trend is the final sign that American education is doomed, know this: fantasy math may be working. According to preliminary research by the University of Mississippi, most teachers who use Flockhart's program are reporting higher levels of math enthusiasm — and better grades — among students."

Mr. Reed - PSSA Writing Scoring Guidelines - September 7, 2009

During Writing Workshop, the sixth grade students will be responding to a variety of writing prompts in three main categories - Narrative, Informational, and Persuasive. These are the types of prompts they were assessed on during 5th Grade PSSA Writing.

Below is a link to a PDF document on the Pennsylvania Department of Education website that outlines the guidelines which the state uses to score the three types of prompts (narrative, informational, persuasive) assessed during PSSA Writing. I'll be using these guidelines to assess the writing prompts that the sixth graders complete throughout the school year.
