Language Arts
π NWEA Testing
Students will finish NWEA testing for ELA this week. Please encourage your child to give their best effort as they complete this assessment.
π Time Capsules
Students will create their 6th grade time capsules that will be opened when they are seniors. Students will complete a memory form and write a letter to themselves. Students can add little trinkets to their time capsule, pictures, or other small items that will add meaning to them when they open them in 2030!
𧻠If possible, please send an empty toilet paper roll with your child so they can assemble their time capsule items.
π Homework for Parents: Time Capsule Letter from Parent
Write your child a letter. This assignment is pretty open ended. It can be handwritten or typed, long or short. Put it in an envelope so that your child canβt see it until they open it their senior year. I will send home more detailed information for this assignment on Monday.

Social Studies
πΊοΈ Regional Study Projects
Students are continuing their group projects on Monday and Tuesday of this week and should be prepared to present beginning Wednesday. Most students have done a nice job of managing their time and working efficiently during class.
β οΈ Watch for Emails
This project is worth a significant amount of points for the marking period. After checking in with each group on Friday, I sent emails to the parents of any students who appear to be behind and at risk of not finishing the project on time. If you received an email, I would greatly appreciate your help in motivating them to pick up the pace and effort. Thank you SO MUCH!
π Helpful Information:
- Students have had 3 full class periods (plus one partial class) to work so far. They have 2 more full class periods to finish entirely.
- All expectations and materials have been shared with students via Google Classroom. I have also created a timeline (also posted in GC) to help students manage their workload.
- I have invited and encouraged all students to visit my room during WIN or work at home if they need extra support or time.
- Presentations begin on June 5th!
π― All grades are up-to-date in PowerSchool. Please review your child's scores and encourage them to turn in any missing work ASAP. Thank you!
