Back to School Night and 6-word Memoirs

For a mini-writing project, students created 6-word memoirs in class.  This is a piece where writers use 6 words to sum up their philosophy about life, an event that happened to them, or their ideas about the world.  Our 6th grades did a fantastic job with this project, and a few examples of their work have been posted in the Gallery section of this blog.   The rest are on display in class, and you can see them this evening at Back to School Night.

Back to School Night begins at 7:00 pm, with classroom presentations at 7:20 pm and 7:50 pm sharp.  The purpose of these presentations is to let you know what your child will be learning this year, and what the expectations are for class.  We will talk about field trips and other school events as well.  Unfortunately, I will not be able to answer specific questions about your child at Back to School Night, both because of time constraints and because of confidentiality concerns - there will be many other families present in the classroom.  However, if you would like to discuss your child's progress so far, feel free to e-mail me or set up an appointment either before or after school.

I look forward to meeting you all in person this evening!
