Class 6-2 had a successful transition from summer vacation to returning to "Team Notre Dame."  We also welcomed three new students to our class.  Everyone quickly learned the class schedule and has settled into the school day routine.
     The sixth graders take turns helping the kindergarten children at recess.  This is a tradition at Notre Dame that the students look forward to every year.  This year's sixth graders are no exception!
     We have a subscription to Storyworks magazine.  The articles can also be found online at storyworks.scholastic.com.  The students can log in at the student site using the student password.  (The password is the name of our "class pet" followed by my room number.)
     Please remember to send in an absent note with your child when he/she returns to school.
     You may have some questions about the Common Core Standards.  The intent of the standards is to ensure the success of students in college and careers to be literate individuals in the 21st century and to be competitive internationally.  The "Parent Roadmaps" link below is a good resource to explain the CCS.
