Happy Friday!
We have made it to spring break! Your students have been working very hard over the last weeks of this quarter.
Class Trip Payment:
Here is the information again for transferring the additional 20 euros needed for the class trip. Thank you to those that have already sent the funds to the account. We appreciate it!

IBAN: DE27 1005 0000 1075 9571 30
Class Trip Room Assignments:
This week, students were given their assigned roommates for the upcoming class trip. There may still be a few small changes, but for the most part they are all set. We did our best to fulfill wishes at least partially, but of course not everyone gets their first choice based on a number of factors. Students will be able to spend free time and do activities with other 6th graders during the trip.
English Homeroom:
Students took their reading test today on The Distance Between Us. They will continue working on their argumentative essay about the book after the break. They do not need to work on these during spring break at all. We will have the time when we return.
English Differentiation:
English Differentiation groups will change when we return from the break. While many students will still be in the same groups, there will be some shifts based on the evaluations we have made during the 3rd quarter. Students will find out their exact groups when we return.
Math:
Students completed their Math Test 3 of the year last week and took those home on Tuesday. Overall, many students did really well and thoroughly demonstrated their knowledge with Geometry, Area, and Perimeter.
Social Studies:
I have seen many very creative presentations, dioramas, and creative pieces this week for the Social Studies presentations. We finished our last ancient civilization presentations this afternoon. We are looking forward to beginning our final unit about Ancient Greece when we return, which will lead directly into our Greek Olympics event. This is a milestone in 6th grade each year before students head off to the high school. More information about that will come after the class trip.
Art:
I am so impressed with the students work on the urban planning project. This group has put in more effort than any group I have had in the past. We decided that we need a bit more time to get everything just right. We will continue with these after the break and hopefully have it ready just in time for the elementary art show in the spring.
Wishing you all a safe and restful Spring Break!
