Homeroom
Dear Sixth Grade Student and Parents

A notice about the Swine Flu has been sent home.  Please follow all precautions.

The Halloween minimum day was spent watching a movie, spending some time with Mr. Trujillo and enjoying the snacks provided.  The costumes were really clever and it was enjoyable to see the students having a good time.  If any of you have pictures you took of the class that we can use for the Year Book, please e-mail it to me.  I was not able to take as many small group shots as I wanted to.

Students have successfully completed the unit on early humans with a Keynote presentation as a wrap-up activity.

Our next several lessons deals with the rise of early civilizations in the middle east.  We will be building a shoe box Hanging Garden of babylon as a end-of-the unit project in school.

Trimester 1 will be ending in a couple weeks and report cards will come out. Students need to resolve any homework issues with the teachers.

7th Grade History:

7th grade is almost finished with the unit on Islam.  We slowed down due to our Keynote presentations.  Our next unit is on African empires.  Students are asked to create a mask before the Christmas break.  Hand-outs and directions will be given out.
