Parents - a must read! I started teaching in 1982. There have always been children who were rude, disrespectful, as well as those who were amazingly on track - polite, kind, respectful of teachers and each other. But something has changed in the past...three-four years? The lack of respect while I am teaching, the students' need to talk to their friends while I am at the front of the class speaking/teaching, the anxiety of learning, achieving, and not completing work has never been at the level it is at now. Please read this article.

Students- Need to make flashcards or quizzes for yourself? This site, http://quizlet.com/ is great for that. You can also download apps for iPhone, iPad (possibly iPod), and Android phones. Vocabulary is a big thing. Even taking the time to enter the vocabulary will help you remember it. Just don't do 40 words at one time.
Novel Study - remember to have a response for EACH chapter
Writing - check the examples of personal writing. In fact you can look here at other samples by Gr 6 students
