BASEBALL – Just in case someone has been taking a long nap over the last three days,

The Red Sox have won the World Series in a four game sweep.

SCIENCE – Mrs. Titcomb’s science classes will begin the famous Tree Unit this week. This study has proven, in the past, to be quite fun for those students who get into the project. Many species of trees are investigated, and each student develops their own book of information. Of course, Maine is a great tree state, so the project brings us closer to the land.

READING FOR OTHERS – The 6^th grade students, in conjunction with Scholastic Book Club, are reading books and keeping a record. When students in a homeroom have read and recorded 100 books, Scholastic will give 100 books to less fortunate youngsters who may never have a book of their own. The project, “Our Classroom Cares”, is off to a great start. Keep on reading.

MATH – Mrs. Hobart will be conducting her Unit 2 math test on November 1, next Monday.

CONFERENCE NOTE – It is the policy of the 6^th grade team that if any parent cannot meet during the normal conference times that we will make adjustments that fit your schedule. It is our desire that each family has a period of time to discuss the student’s progress in school.

DOWN THE ROAD –The district 5 music festival will be on November 5. Conferences are scheduled for the week of November 15. Watch the newsletter for more details.
