6th Grade Science

Hello! This year in science we will be following the 6th grade Indiana Science standards. The 6th graders will also have an ISTEP prep book in order to prepare them for their science ISTEP next March. So far, we have been discussing steps of the Scientific Method and Scientific Inquiry. On Friday, the 6th grade used internet and book resources to figure out what certain scientists studied, how they studied it, and the processes they used to study it. They will be sharing their results with their classmates on Monday.

Help Sessions:
I sent home a letter in your Thursday folders explaining information regarding my help sessions on Thursdays. I got a bunch back that were signed; however, the permission slip is the blue sheet of paper your child should have in his/her science folder. I need a permission slip every time your child attends my help session. This is for everyone's safety, so that I know that you as parents/guardians know where your child is. If your child has signed up to attend my help session, but will no longer be attending it, I need an email, phone call, or written letter stating so.
I need to know that you know that your child will not be at SJOA attending the help session.



On that note, my help sessions end at 4:30 PM. I will be bringing students down at 4:25 to NYO, to walk, or to be picked up. If your child is being picked up late, please call/email me and let me know. If your child is picked up late more than twice, I will have to ask that he/she no longer attends the help sessions. (For me, late constitutes after 4:35 PM.) If your child is a hindrance or disruptive to the help session, I will have to ask that he/she no longer attends the help sessions.
