Dear Parents and Families,
Thank-you for attending the Biography Fair! I feel that every student knew their character very well, and presented their information nicely! Your help with the costumes and providing extra ideas and trinkets to decorate the display boards showed your concern and support! I would also like to mention a comment from Jaden’s Mother; she felt that by creating the display boards in class, that lots of unexpected discussion occurred between the students. This discussion included some compliments as well as advice to others. She commented on our students’ ability to take criticism from their peers and to turn advice into improvements!
My compliments to each of my sixth graders, you did a great job! I was proud of each and every one of you!
We will see each other after Memorial Day Monday.

Hi to all Grade 6 Families,
Our week was one of creating the display boards! Usually the boards were created at home; however, I am pleased to tell you that the discussions while planning the boards at school between the students on whether this color or that color for the background looked best, where to place each photo, which worked better: double sided stick tape or rubber cement....were great to listen to....helping each other measure carefully for margins, lessons on
using a T Square...created an environment of productivity and “how-to” along with camaraderie!
Thank-you, Parents, for sending your child armed with decorative items to enhance their boards!
Parents, thank-you for your support for Teacher Appreciation Week! From treats, flowers, a fabulous luncheon, to coffee and donuts...THANK-YOU! You are so generous and thoughtful!
Classroom Learning for the next week:

The ph testing is done every other day, fertilizing happens once every 2 weeks, water is tested daily and worms are tested for exact moisture content daily.
Practice for the Easter Prayer Service has begun. The service will be on Thursday, April 18 at 1 pm, and all are invited.

With Monday off, and a delayed start this week, it seems that the week flew by!
Happy, happy, happy Friday as we begin February vacation! We send Amelia Domingo and Reagan Crusco to the NH State Spelling Bee tomorrow! They are ready! We wish them the BEST!!
We had a formal presentation by Miss Kate and her co-worker, Miss Donna. We learned about the beginning of the greenhouse and how it developed each year. It was developed completely by generous donors and workers over the years! We have thriving herbs and look forward to seeing them continue to grow! We will start a worm farm for the greenhouse in March. If you collect newspapers, could you please save them for us? The worms live in shredded newspaper!
We began practicing for the Catherine McAuley play which will be presented during school on Friday, March 15th. It will be in the afternoon, and a definite time will be set after vacation.

Hello to All,
Congratulations to all students for doing a great job on their research reports! Your transition cue words made your writing smoother! Everyone used great care and showed concern about how you wrote. Our garden is stable and growing nicely! Although we could not go tubing for Winterfest, we had a wonderful time with planned activities in the gym and a challenging time trying to build a structure of playing cards, toothpicks and mini- marshmallows. The structure design was to hold a small plush animal for 10 seconds. The students worked in teams of a mixture of all grades and they were given time to plan and then build. They learned that team planning and work is a challenge in itself, and that patience and communication were key to getting the Mission done. Unfortunately, no team was successful, but, each team was successful in areas of “ if at first you don’t succeed, try, try again!”
Weekly Update for Feb. 11-15
Please donate canned soups, stews or chili to school, and we’ll get it over to New Horizons.
Thursday, February 14, is Valentine’s Day !
Classroom Update
Math- Students received a math packet of worksheets which include lessons on algebraic expression writing, properties of zero, commutative, associative and distributive properties, and the continuation of the order of operations in algebraic expressions.
We will work on this packet during the week.
English Grammar - We will be learning about the importance of prepositional phrases in writing interesting pieces.
Science- We are finishing the Fossil Unit and will test by the end of the week. If your student will be busy with after school activities or is sick, he/she should prepare for the Unit 10 test by doing the Review on pp. 485- 488. These pages will be assigned for class work and homework.
March Book Report will be student choice of a biography of any person which interests your child. Books should be chosen by
February 22, 2019 and should be reviewed by me. The book report will include student reasons why he/she chose their biographical
character. The report will be due on March 21, 2019 and will focus on smooth transitions using transition cue words and good paragraph structure. No project will be additionally assigned.
Hope that you stay healthy, and that we all have a nice week!

We sorted and boxed shoes, boots, bagged winter jackets and took tags off
the new bath towels which our school donated. We also delivered canned goods to help stock the shelves. The students followed
directions and were eager to please! They did a great job!

Hello to All,
It gives me great pleasure to commend the spelling Bee finalists! Amelia Domingo, Reagan Crusco, Elaina Burke and Athan Bevan, you did an outstanding job of spelling !! You were polished, polite, smart on your toes, and composed beyond your young years!
Congratulations to all of you! Amelia will represent Mt. St. Mary Academy at the NH State Bee on Saturday, February 23! Reagan will also attend the Bee, and will fill in for Amelia if Amelia cannot participate on that day. We wish Amelia and Reagan best of luck!
All of us at Mt. St. Mary are so proud of you!
I also want to share with all of you how well our class responded to a near crisis with our New Horizons plants. It seems that we were not taking enough detailed daily notes in our log book. Somehow our plants almost burned themselves with too much love and attention!
We learned that too much fertilizer can burn the plant, even if the plant is growing hydroponically! From now on, our notes will be more detailed on exactly what and when we do to plants and how we record it! It was a lesson learned during a fabulous teaching moment!
( I can say that now that all the plants recovered! ) Your children are doing ph water testing and monitoring nutrients, and water levels. They have also converted milliliters and gallons to get the proper ratio of nutrients to water! I am delighted to see that every student has taken an active interest in this project!
