1. Math Operations #3. All questions done and due in class for corrections tomorrow. we reviewed adding, subtracting, multiplying and dividing today and class and collaboratively worked on the algorithm steps together. My expectation is that individual mistakes will be corrected on the back of the page by the student after corrections as a class are done. There will be a quiz on the four practice activities on Monday September 10. Students should hand in the four practice activities on quiz day.
2. Daily reading -- 20 minutes. We will have a reading response log notebook ready soon to track this.
3. Parent information package to complete -- last nine pages, less the calendar. All funds are collected thorough School Cash Online. I gave out agendas yesterday and locks today without proof of purchase. I will eventually get a report for the class to follow up on missing fees.
4. Think of a mindset slogan. Our class one was "Work Hard, Play Fair, Dream Big" as an example.
5. Box of pencils, Math Set, Binder -- for individual use.
6. Roll of paper towel, box of facial tissue -- for shared class use. Thanks!

Welcome to the 2018-19 School Year!
Greetings to the students in my class for 2018-19! I'm looking forward to meeting and connecting with all of you during this first week. We will jump right in to the school year with some ice breaker activities and some Math and Language reviews. As the first week goes by we will be preparing for the first Math unit in Number Sense and the first Language activities with News Journals and a novel study. There are some significant changes that come with Grade 6 following a middle school model now, not the least of which is -- LOCKERS! It will be an adventure for sure!
This blog, which is entering its ninth continuous year, will function as a daily homework listing and be archived as each week ends. Be sure to check out my class web page at http://areynolds.org/ all year long. My current updates are in progress but should be complete by next week. Plenty of useful stuff is posted, including downloads of class handouts which you should use to replace lost work. As part of my Eco-Schools effort I am reducing the number of extra photocopies I am producing. Usually the document can be downloaded and printed by students, using my web page as needed, by students.
At the bottom of this blog page is a calendar for the year. I will be updating it for the new year. I also use the calendar to make note of tests, field trips and other school events. I urge you to subscribe to the blog posts to receive daily updates of your child's activity. I do make time each day for agenda writing by the students and you should ask to see that book on a daily basis, but this page is a useful complement to that routine. I will not be signing agendas each day, but you are welcome to do so and include any notes in it that you would like to have me look over. Please have your child alert me to the note in the morning.
