September 19th is International Talk Like a Pirate Day. This Thursday, our studies will be pirate themed. We will have pirate math, pirate language, pirate geography and pirate myths. I’m looking forward to sharing some good ole’ sea chanties and stories.

Ahoy thar me hardies!

On a different note, I will be sending home a packet with science fair information and deadlines. Please ask your children about these packets. They contain all of the necessary information to keep your kids on track. The first due date is September 30.

Our student council elections are this coming Wednesday.  Any student who declared their intent to run for office can hang 2 posters to aid their campaign.  All candidates will be giving a speech at an assembly Wednesday morning.  This is a very exciting opportunity for our 6th grade students!
