Team 6th Grade: May 2018

Hello all! Can you believe how fast this year has blown by? The kids and I were reminiscing the other day during advisory how much they have learned, achieved and grown in the past few months. We also were having a great discussion on advice they could have given their younger 5th grade selves to prepare for middle school. I was truly blown away on how insightful they were.

It is also important to help remind your kiddos that school isn't done yet. They have the opportunity to boost their grades, if needed or maintain what they have worked hard for. Keep checking Edmodo and Infinite Campus for assignments. We can do this :)
