6th Grade News: December 2-6, 2019

General News
Power Standards Review - Extra Credit Opportunity
Last Friday, each student received a packet of material for their academic classes. They can use this as an extra credit opportunity to review the most important topics (aka "power standards") in each academic class over Thanksgiving Break.

Students can replace their lowest test grade in each class by satisfactorily completing the power standards review for that class. The extra credit assignments are due when students return to school after Thanksgiving.

Here is the link to 6th grade power standards review packet

MAP Testing This Week
We will have our Winter MAP testing this week on Tuesday (Language), Wednesday (Reading), and Thursday (Math). Students will test in their homerooms and, as usual, can earn stamps and other incentives for reaching their growth goals!

The MAP Growth Assessments are used to accurately schedule ELT classes, to help students set academic goals, and to monitor students' progress throughout the year. For more information, check out the answers to 12 Common Questions Parents ask about the MAP Growth Assessment.
