Dear 6th Grade Parents,
We hope that you all enjoyed the holiday break and we wish you a happy new year!
We wanted to take the beginning of this New Year and new semester as an opportunity to start off on the same page and to begin preparing our students for their upcoming 7th grade year (just eight months away!).
In an attempt to help our students take responsibility and advocate for themselves, homeroom teachers will no longer be leaving each class’ assignments on the white board all day. Students will need to write down their assignments after each class period. This is to help prepare them for next year when they will not only be switching class periods, but also classrooms. Students may check the blogs each night to make sure they wrote their assignments down correctly and/or get any information they missed during class time.
It is also essential that students check the blog and/or contact a fellow classmate when they miss classes, and extremely important that they be sure to check in with their teacher(s) to find out what work they need to make up. A visit to the Faculty House the morning of the student’s return to school would be a very good idea. If a student is out for more than one day, or is too ill to email his/her teachers to check in, we would greatly appreciate a parent check-in via email.
Here are each of our contacts:

If your student does not bring a water bottle to school daily or keep one at school, we would greatly appreciate it if you would send one with your student. It helps to maintain the flow of our classes when students don’t have to leave class to get a drink of water from the fountain.
We have some big events coming up and thought we would alert you to them now so that you can mark your calendars:
Thursday, January 13: All-Class field trip to Southwest Shakespeare in Mesa to see A Midsummer Night’s Dream. *More information & Permission Trip Slips will be sent home Wednesday, January 5.

Sunday, October 31, 2010
Last night, Mrs. Lori Hickernell and I attended the Arizona Curriculum Theatre's production of Poe 2010. Two actors performed three of Edgar Allan Poe's story-poems: Annabel Lee, The Cask of Amontillado, and The Raven. While I can't say I "loved" the show, I did very much enjoy going to see a live, edgy theatre piece in a small store-front theatre space. Having lived in the greater Phoenix area for just over two years, I haven't seen as much theatre as I would like to, and haven't yet had the opportunity to explore the smaller theatres.
While it seems like the ACT produces some edgier pieces in its own theatre space, the company also produces works that are more educationally-oriented, as is their mission:
ACT, Inc. is a non-profit traveling performance troupe bringing classical literature, arts, history, sciences, and mathematics to life in classrooms and libraries across the Phoenix Metropolitan Area.

Attending live theatre can truly be an exciting, uplifting, and inspiring experience. While the production one attends is "good," "bad," or somewhere in between is, obviously - oft times - a matter of taste and opinion, there is always something special and magical about the exchange between the actors and a "live" audience that is so different than witnessing a film, where celluloid and time build a wall between the screen actors and their spectators.
I have added the Arizona Curriculum Theatre (ACT) website link to the list below, should you have interest in checking out the company's website and/or one of their shows.
By the way: I purchased the tickets to Poe through one of the Groupon mailers I received in my email. If you aren't signed up for Groupon already, there are some really good deals on there for all kinds of things - but I have found especially good deals when it comes to entertainment.
Cheers,
Ms. Nicky Pitman

Arts in Education Week: Coming Soon!
On July 26, 2010, the U.S. House of Representatives passed H.Con.Res. 275, legislation designating the second week of September as “Arts in Education Week.” The resolution had 101 cosponsors and was authored by Representative Jackie Speier (D-CA) with encouragement and support of Broadway legend Carol Channing.
This resolution is the first Congressional expression of support celebrating all of the arts education disciplines – dance, music, theater and visual arts. This resolution comes at a key time when Congress is making plans to overhaul federal education policy through the reauthorization of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA).
The resolution seeks to support the attributes of arts education that are recognized as instrumental to developing a well-rounded education such as creativity, imagination, and cross-cultural understanding. H.Con.Res. 275 also highlights the critical link between those skills and preparing children for gaining a competitive edge in the global economy.
As a House resolution, the bill does not require signature by the President upon its passage.
