SUPPLIES!

Please check with your child to make sure that she/he has pencils!! I do not lend them and could not keep up if I did :-)
Also we go through a lot of tissue! I have provided the first ten boxes. Any donations would be greatly appreciated!

Singapore Packets

The purpose of the Singapore Packets is to touch on things that are a review or even preview things not covered this year. They have not been graded so far but this one will be. The grade will be based on effort. I do not expect the students to be able to solve all of the story problems. I do expect them to try and to ask for help.I am encouraging students to draw pictures or use methods other than algorithms (formulas or steps) if they have difficulty. There will be problems that students can use calculators on but they will be identified as such. I am trying to cover all of the bases and have the students well prepared for seventh grade and beyond!! Thank you for your support!!
