A Great Start as a Sixth Grader!

Thank you for sending such engaging and attentive students to the Jomana Team.  You should all feel proud that they are making successful a transition to middle school.  Here are some things to remember for Tuesday, September 6th.

NEWS: 
----> JOMANA Team dress-up day is every first Tuesday of the month.  September 6th is the first one.  In the past, we have had students come in a suit and tie, dresses, skirts, or just an outfit that is *Different* from what they would normally wear to every day school.  Please come dressed up to show your Jomana Team pride on Tuesday!

----> Students received their school planners.  This is an effective tool for keeping students organized, and parents informed.  Please sign their planner every day.  Later in the year, parent signatures will be fazed out as students become more responsible.  Thank you for your support.

ACADEMICS:
1)  Language Arts:  a)  Students wrote a Writing Warm-up in class.  b)  Students started reading the book, Seedfolks, and took notes in their notebooks, in-class.  c)  Homework for Parents/Guardians:  "In a million words or less, tell us about your child . . . "  Due next Friday, Sept 9th. 

2)  Math:  a) Students started Investigation 1 in the new math book, Data About Us.  b)  Homework is to find the average name length of family members.  Students wrote instructions in the homework section of their math binders.  c)  Students set up math binders - ALL students are required to have a math binder. 

Have a great long weekend!
