WELCOME STUDENTS,PARENTS,AND GUARDIANS TO MY WEB PAGE. GET READY FOR A GREAT MAY!

Upcoming Main Events and Important Dates for this month:
To be scheduled:
5/18-progress reports due
5/19-field day
5/27-Delsea orientation at the middle school.
5/31-school closed

During this month, we will explore the magic of mathematics, discover the mysteries of science and follow the paths of history. There is much to be learned and many new fascinating memories to be made. My goal is to provide all the necessary tools to make this year a positive and successful one, while preparing for the responsibilities, skills and demands required for middle school.

The curriculum this month:

Math- Venturing into the world of Connected Math, featuring Data About Us / Covering and Surrounding. The Data About Us unit allows students to discover the magic of distributing data and reading data in different types of graphs. The Covering and Surrounding unit allows students to investigate area and perimeter in shapes and polygons. Students will be given an instructional guide to refer to as the unit progresses, please keep it to help with assignments throughout our investigations. In order to perpare for the upcoming NJ ASK Testing in May we have practice every Tuesday and Thursday. It is common for students to receive a test or quiz on Fridays to track progress on a weekly basis within the Connected Math Curriculum. Fridays are also devoted to preparing for the open-ended questions that frequently occur throughout the NJ ASK Test. Through these carefully generated (OEQ), we can practice on applying and conveying strategies learned in order to receive the most points per question. Please be aware that attendance is important during these practices in order for the students to gain the confidence, skills, and strategies needed to achieve the greatest amount of success on the NJ ASK TEST.
(Just a reminder that extra help can be received during enrichment if needed at any time.)

Enrichment-This time is used for extra help and completing long-term and/or short-term assignment that are due. Often there will be an assignment given with about a week's time frame to complete and submit. The enrichment board always contains these types of assignments with their due dates, and provides easy access to materials with daily visual reminders. It is important for students to maximize the potential that this period presents.

Sciene-Exploring the mystical world of ecosystems and biomes.

Social Studies- American History,(Western Hemisphere)"The Exciting Start of a New Nation!".Chapter 14- The Young United States.

Health- We will investigate the components of Health and Wellness, along with the responsibilities that are required to help maintain health and wellness. Classes will be held on either Mondays and Fridays or Thursdays and Fridays, schedule permitting.

In addition, students will be assigned current events articles or journal entries that will be due on assigned Fridays. These assignments will be graded and incorporated into either their Social Studies, Health or Science grade.

Remember to keep the communication open. Feel free to contact me with any questions or concerns. Enjoy the rest of the month!

Be sure to check school activities and events posted on the school calendar each month and important dates posted on the Main Road web page. Also keep in mind that periodic announcements will be sent to keep you posted on important dates, events, projects, and activities.

TOGETHER WE CAN MAKE IT A GREAT MAY THAT CAN ULTIMATELY LEND ITSELF TO A FANTASTIC 6TH GRADE EXPERIENCE FOR EVERYONE. I LOOK FORWARD TO MEETING AND WORKING WITH EACH OF YOU TO MAKE IT A SPECTACULAR MAIN ROAD YEAR!
