December 13 -17

Good morning:

Thank you all for your donations to Navidad sin Frío and the Christmas baskets for AST workers. We have surely made many people happy with these good deeds. Yesterday's Christmas Concert and Empty Bowls were a huge success. I hear the band performance was outstanding, and that parents were really impressed with the artwork of students and teachers in AST. What a wonderful way to end the year!!!
Since this is our last week before the quarter ends, it is important that we comply with everything, and keeping our agendas updated will help us wrap up our partial successfully.Please take a look at what we will be doing during the week...

6th Grade Math
A test on all the topics in the Fraction Number Theory unit will take place on Tuesday, December 14th. Divisibility rules, factors and multiples, prime and composite numbers, prime factorization, GCF, and LCM will be included ( since we needed more time to address the last topics, we didn't get to see simplifying fractions, so it will NOT be included) . Students may start reviewing their material with the exercises found in Chapter 3 of the book.

The binder will be checked on Wednesday December 15 for 6-1, 6-2 and 6-3; 6-4 will have theirs checked until Thursday, December 16th. The checklist was handed out so kids can start arranging them.

If students have been absent throughout the quarter, they might have missing assignments to turn in. Please check Powerschool, and if any M's appear, they must turn in their pending work. If they don't, these M's will then turn to 0's, and their final grade will be affected.

Cívica
La próxima semana tendremos varias evaluaciones importantes.
Martes 14 de diciembre: Proyecto de los Clubes de AST y revisión del cuaderno
Miércoles 15 de diciembre: Prueba del student handbook de AST

Como ya termina el semestre, es importante que los alumnos cumplan con estas últimas evaluaciones puntualmente.

I hope all of you have a warm and peaceful Christmas holiday!! Enjoy!!!

Mrs. Hesse
