Welcome to the KMS 6th Grade Weekly Update!
The last day assignments will be accepted is May 31st.
If your student is experiencing issues with logging in to canvas, please have them email their advisory teacher so we can get their passwords reset.
June 1st and June 2nd students will be allowed to come to the school to collect their belongings. During this time if you borrowed a computer you may drop it off at the high school drive thru lanes. In order to limit the amount of people in the school at one time there is time slots depending on your last name. This information with the schedule can be found on the kimberly.edu website along with being on the schools Facebook page.
A Message from Mrs. Tews
An English Addition to Parents/Guardians and Students from Mrs. Tews...A COLOSSAL thank-you goes out to Mrs. Olsen for filling in for me during my Leave of Absence! She spent 2 crazy days with me in the classroom and then was forced to pluck the baton from the grasp of my fingers and was off to survive the unknown!!! Mrs. Olsen (nor any of us) had any conception of what the next couple of months would place in her life and the accommodations that would be needed to finish the school year! She eloquently handled all that was thrown in her direction. She accomplished the task far better than I could have. HATS OFF TO MRS. OLSEN!!! THANK YOU FOR A JOB WELL DONE! May you take a part of Kimberly Middle School with you and may those memories soften your hardest days!
**********************************************
Life is a book and we write the chapters as we venture through each day, month, and year. My chapter at Kimberly Middle School has ended and a new chapter will begin. The learning, laughter, tears, and crazy classes in 6th Grade English are etched in my heart. My hopes are that you have grasped a lesson or moment that will linger through your life. Each one of you is special to me and each of you has a "gift" that only you can share with the world. Be that person that makes a positive difference in our world! I am sending "knuckles" to you and hope that when you think of "Mrs. Tews", a smile will spread across your face.

LANGUAGE ARTS:
We made it all the way through 9 weeks of online learning! I want to let you know how much I have appreciated this learning opportunity. I have enjoyed getting to know the 6th grade students at Kimberly Middle School. This week the students have an opportunity to earn some extra credit by doing a reflective quiz, which is totally optional. All work is due on Friday May 29. Students need to have reading logs updated, I will grade those at the end of the week. (Midterm reading grades will be replaced with the end of the year reading grades.) Have a really great (and much needed) summer break!

MATH:
You guys, WE DID IT! We survived distance learning and I couldn't be more proud of the kiddos! You, the parents, are the true heroes in all of this. I want to sincerely thank you for you role in helping your child be successful. This was nothing short of amazing! THANK YOU!
This week, students will have the opportunity to get caught up in class. I have a one question survey students need to complete; the rest of their time can be sent on getting caught up. I am not providing Extra Credit as I provided an opportunity for 30 an extra points earlier in the quarter. Students need to ensure all of their work is completed and uploaded by May 29th. No exceptions will be made for late work beyond that date.
Once again, thank you for your partnership in your child's education! Enjoy your summer!

SCIENCE:
Hey All,
This week is the last week of school!! We will be designing containers that will hopefully keep an egg from shattering when it has been dropped. In order to get points this week just post a picture on the discussion board on canvas or email me photos and you can send a video of you dropping it for extra points. I am really bummed to see the year end the way that it did but I enjoyed having all of you students in class. They really brightened up my days and made my first full year of teaching pretty memorable! Have a great summer!

SOCIAL STUDIES:
All assignments have been posted for the last two and half weeks. Just complete assignments that are not turned in. Students can also go back and resubmit any work that they revived a low grade on without penalty. All assignments need to be in by May 29th. Thank you for all your patience as we have struggled through the last bit of the year. 🙂
Gina Palmer
STEM:
Welcome to the LAST week of school!!!! For STEM class, you just have a Make It A Great Day and one small quiz! Thank you for all of your hard work, flexibility and sacrifices on behalf of your students! It has been a great year to learn lots of lessons and we will all be better for it! Have a fantastic summer!
