MAP TOOLKIT:

Do you want to improve your MAP scores?
Here is the math website:
You can also use this website to help you practice: http://www.ixl.com/math/grade-6
Parents can sign up for a free 30-day trial. IXL is an excellent tool to review and master concepts taught in class. Please contact me for further information.

I have created an IXL trial account for your child. He/she needs to practice according to the skills included with the daily homework. They will be part of their daily assignment. Students may practice other skills as well.

INFORMATION FOR PARENTS:
  
DONATIONS NEEDED: “Ya Tengo Donde Escribir” is an organization aiming to help children from public schools that cannot afford notebooks. In order to help, the organization makes notebooks out of cereal boxes and pages from used notebooks. They are now collecting cereal boxes until November 20th, and we encourage our students and teachers to bring cereal boxes from their homes. At the end of the contest, the grade that brought the most boxes will be awarded a pizza party or ice cream party! Please help us help those in need!

CATS - On Thursday October 24th, grades 6 through 12 will be going to the Hotel Honduras Maya for the presentation of the play "CATS". The cost to attend this event is 150 lempiras. This includes the entrance ticket and transportation. Permission slips will be sent home on Monday, October 7, and the due date to turn the money and signed permission slip in to the homeroom teacher is Wednesday October 9.
