6th grade i-movie plans
Our sixth grade reading class is involved in the production of an i-movie this year! It is exciting and hectic. There are many upcoming deadlines adding to the stress. Look for a permission slip to come home soon concerning a Saturday field trip to Wild Animal Safari - Pine Mountain, GA.

Sixth graders will be bringing home their SRA workbooks and student text tonight (01/17). Please give your child a 1 min. timed reading test for homework(Lesson 7). Your student should be able to explain the process to you. But just in case, you will be keeping track of the time, saying stop when the time is up, and counting errors. These results are tracked at the back of the workbook. Thanks for your support of Mabry Middle School and your child.
Students - Remember to bring the workbook & text back to school on Wed.
