6th Grade English/Social Studies (Henry E. Huntington Middle School) //www.hehms.us/apps/classes/676099/assignments/ Class Name: 6th Grade English/Social Studies Instructor(s): Sheila Doan en-us SchoolSitePro <![CDATA[Due: 06/01/2016]]> //www.hehms.us/homeworkItem4342924 //www.hehms.us/apps/classes/676099/assignments/ We had a great class party today!
Thank you to all who contributed to our buffet in some way.
It was delicious, and a great way to celebrate the end
of the year with our classroom community.
 
Tomorrow is Spirit Day!
For my Homeroom students: Spirit Day t-shirts will be passed out
  in the morning. If you are wearing anything special 
for our Spirit Day Dance, just wear it to school, and
then you can get your t-shirt afterwards (before we start
moving around to the different activities). Remember that
lunch will be provided and dismissal will be at 12:30.
 
Lockers should be cleaned out by now. Students will not need
any materials at school, except pens for signing yearbooks on Thursday.
 
Please keep an eye out for anything
that belongs to Room 309 - books from my classroom library,
colored pencils, highlighters, sharpies, etc. I would
love to retrieve missing items! Students get a Jolly Rancher
for every item they are able to round up.
 
Homework: If not already turned in, the Rome packet and
parent signature for the  "Summer Suggestions"
letter should be turned in as soon as possible.
