*Sixth grade students have begun to practice with me for the upcoming Cheyenne Mountain Elementary Science Olympiad on Saturday, December 6, 2008!
Programs:
Advanced reading groups concentrate on meeting state reading and writing standards using higher level texts and activities. Students will also be challenged through vocabulary and writing assignments related to their reading.
Sixth Grade Advanced Math Class: Participation in this course will be determined by the following criteria:
1) 95th percentile on the latest Scantron math assessment
2) Placement in the Advanced range on 5th grade CSAP
3) 95th percentile or above on the Cognitive Abilities Test in the quantitative or non-verbal subtest score (given to
all 3rd graders in the spring)
4) Fifth grade teacher recommendation including student grades
*Students must meet at least 3 out of the four criteria for placement in the Sixth Grade Advanced Math class taught by Mrs. Chisesi.
Math Olympiad is a national problem solving math enrichment program that meets once a week on Wednesdays. Students participate in 5 Math Olympiad Contests throughout the year. It is a great learning experience for those that enjoy a good math challenge!
Science Olympiad events are the 6th grade science curriculum for first quarter. Once students have completed the contests in their science class, the top participants are invited to join the Skyway Science Olympiad team to compete against other Cheyenne Mountain elementaries in December. Mrs. Chisesi will coach students in their events in preparation for the district Olympiad. More information will be sent out once we get started.
Battle of the Books is a city wide contest in the spring for 5th graders. Fifth grade students will take a test on 40 books to determine the Skyway Teams. Start reading those 40 books! (See your 5th grade teacher for a list and more information.)
