sixth WEEK WITH ROOM 18
"FIND THINGS THAT YOU LOVE TO DO AND REALLY PURSUE THEM!"
Sept. 23
Fun having the kids hide in the class and surprise me when I turned on the lights! Phoenix did not hide in the trash can!
I bought some of my favorite donuts to share!
We had a fun day finishing up packets and doing the Africa test online.
Some students did not budget their time this week and need to finish their work (this weekend) before we leave for camp Monday am!
Here are some of the logistics on Monday morning. Please arrive between 8:15-8:30am and put all of your child's (labeled) bags and sleeping bags at the base of the flagpole.
Make sure to label their clothing and bags clearly along with their sack lunch. Have them bring the lunch up to class so we can box them and keep them separate from all the sandwich smashing luggage!
Next, they need to come to class and proceed to get a Rapid Covid Test along with all the staff attending.
At 10:00 am we will start loading bags onto the buses. 10:30am departure!
Look for OSS pictures on my website throughout the week! Check it out here: on the STUDENTS page!
We return to the school Friday, September 30th (11:45-12 Noon). Please come and welcome home your child and help us unload their gear from the bus!
It's gonna be a great week of learning outdoors!

Sept. 22
For this coming Monday the 26th: Please have your child drop off their camp gear at the flag pole in front of the school.
To keep traffic moving that morning, we are asking that you drop off your camper no earlier than 8:15 but no later than 8:30. If your child needs to be dropped off earlier, that is fine. Please be mindful of busses and other cars that need to pass while you unload at the flagpole!

This week starts off with our countdown to Science Camp getting really close!
We have been adding daily to our homework journals (things) that we need to be packing and getting ready each night this week. This way, when next Monday rolls around, we are a prepared camping unit ready for all our adventures!
BTW: The cost of camp is covered by the district!

Week # 5 and counting! Is this going as fast for you as it is for me! Crazy!
Thanks for coming to the Back to Sleep night last Thursday night! Seriously want to thank all parents who stayed awake through my presentation.
The football game with the Bills and Rams was competing and I only caught one dad watching the game! Everyone else did a nice job...
of not getting caught! JK.
This week we finish our MAP testing! We have completed the Reading MAP and the Math MAP. The scores will be available to you soon!
For Math this week, we started off by singling out our weak spots on our times tables. Once done, we made our own individual flash cards for practicing. We will be moving on through the remaining lessons this week in chapter one and then doing a Quiz/test Friday. We also have been working in KHAN Mappers to sharpen our Math skills.
Science Camp paper work is due Sept. 14. Please fill out all the papers making sure to sign each page and return by this Wednesday! Cost of camp is being covered by the district this year so please send your student!!!
Below is a message from our room Moms!
Dear Room 18 Parents!
I wanted to extend a warm welcome to all sixth grade parents on behalf of myself, Annabel Yeomans, (Jack’s Mom) and Amy Long, (Aubrey’s Mom). It is our pleasure to be your room parents for this school year. We are looking forward to communicating with you all and coordinating class celebrations and support opportunities.
During the school year we will be hosting various events around the holidays and at the end of the year, as well as providing teacher gifts. As class parties come up, we will be reaching out in advance for volunteer help, as well as food and/or supplies.
You may also see emails from us to promote various school fundraisers. Please feel free to contact us with any questions or concerns.

Thank you very much for supporting us in making this school year memorable!
Warm Regards,
Annabel and Amy

Week 4 and I have not lost my mind yet! Although, the parts of my mind that I have lost, make it possible to numbly keep showing up to work each morning! Just kidding! I'm two short years from retiring and wondering what I would be doing that could challenge me as much as teaching!?
Back to school night is coming up this Thursday evening Sept. 8th!
We have a short time to talk so I will do my best to keep everyone awake that shows up.
If nothing else, please come and catch up on sleep! I'll be happy to see anyone there, nodding off or awake!
I am still hoping that we can have someone step up to be our room parent!
If you are interested in helping our class with field trips, class parties and other events, please talk to me after the meeting Thursday evening!
I will have Science Camp packets for you Thursday evening. I won't have much time to talk Outdoor School, but will be happy to chat on the Cleaver Homeroom if you have questions.
I did send a webinar link in case you missed the first session. Sept.19 is the next meet!
Short week of good things to learn,
Mr. Kyle

Third week and we are digging in with Language packet # 1, Africa Map building, Math Minute practice, Big Ideas Math lessons with work books on the way! Please make sure that your student comes to school each day and does not get behind by missing lessons, classwork and assignments that need to be turned in on time each week. I will be sharing a link that will allow parent and students to log on and check progress. The program is called iGrade Plus and I have had a lot of success using it!
Some students still need some of the suggested supplies and so does our classroom. Here are some of the things we need:
More information coming this next week.
Let's make this a great week of learning together!

A little bit about me:
This begins my 36th year of teaching! I have seen many cycles in education and a lot of them are just the same with different names. Some things that I do not change or leave out are:
1) Honoring all my students for who they are and giving each one equal attention and access to learning.
2) Giving each student the benefit of the doubt (trust).
3) Believing students will rise to meet all the expectations of being a positive student who is growing toward their potential.
4) Respecting our country by saluting the American flag each morning.
I hope you will agree with me that now more than ever, we need to stand together as Americans to honor our country and all those who give and gave so much to make this the great nation that it is!
PS.
I PLAN TO USE THIS WEBSITE ONGOING THIS YEAR. THIS IS WHERE I WILL BE WRITING MESSAGES TO PARENTS MOSTLY TO KEEP INFORMATION FLOWING. I APPRECIATE YOU SIMPLY BECAUSE YOU ARE ALREADY READING THIS! STAY TUNED. THANKS.
