​C.S.U.F.​ the Best Class Ever:

Starting Strong

Dear Families,
Welcome to the beginning of sixth grade! The last month has been an amazing time in CSUF. WE have started
to build great relationships that I look forward to growing over the school year. Every day I like to try to document
what is happening in our classroom and share it with you on our class website: ​msholtcsuf.weebly.com​. Each of
your students have started to share and incorporate themselves into our class culture.
This week are our first benchmark assessments. Students need to be at school on Monday and Tuesday to
participate. Benchmarks are important for several reasons. First, benchmarks are a replica of the CAASPP assessments
at the end of the year. By participating we are able to see progress and areas where students need to focus to be
successful at the end of the year. Also, benchmarks will be a reassessment opportunity for students who need to
continue practicing our first unit on Geometry. Finally, this will help them to persevere during high-stakes testing
throughout the year. The state assessments are rigorous and we want our students to do their best!
Thank you for everything you do with your student to help set them up for success! We are currently growing
our classroom libraries to support independent reading. If you have any old books at home from 3rd-8th grade level
please consider donating them to the school.

Best,

Ms. Holt :) g​holt@stem-prep.org

Queridas familias,

Bienvenido al comienzo del sexto grado! El último mes ha sido un tiempo increíble en CSUF. HEMOS
comenzado a construir excelentes relaciones que espero crecer durante el año escolar. Todos los días me gusta tratar
de documentar lo que está sucediendo en nuestro salón de clases y compartirlo con usted en nuestro sitio web de
clase: ​msholtcsuf.weebly.com​.​ Cada uno de sus alumnos ha comenzado a compartir e incorporarse a nuestra cultura
de clase.
La semana son nuestras primeras evaluaciones de referencia. Los estudiantes deben estar en la escuela los
lunes y martes para participar. Los puntos de referencia son importantes por varias razones. Primero, los puntos de
referencia son una réplica de las evaluaciones CAASPP al final del año. Al participar, podemos ver el progreso y las
áreas donde los estudiantes deben enfocarse para tener éxito al final del año. Además, los puntos de referencia serán
una oportunidad de revaluación para los estudiantes que necesitan continuar practicando nuestra primera unidad de
Geometría. Finalmente, esto les ayudará a perseverar durante las pruebas de alto riesgo durante todo el año. ¡Las
evaluaciones estatales son rigurosas y queremos que nuestros estudiantes hagan todo lo posible!
¡Gracias por todo lo que haces con tu estudiante para ayudar a prepararlos para el éxito! Actualmente
estamos creciendo nuestras bibliotecas de aula para apoyar la lectura independiente. Si tiene algún libro viejo en
casa desde el 3 ° al 8 ° grado, considere donarlo a la escuela.
Mejor,

Ms. Holt :) ​gholt@stem-prep.org

Movie Review:  
The movie that I think you should watch is called “Ferdinand.” I really 
recommend this movie because it’s practically for any type of age and if you like 
to watch funny and kind of sad movies then this is the movie for you. The first 
reason why.  

Movie Review 
By:Delijahwane Gregory Anderson   
 

 
A good movie that I recommend is The Book of Life. The book of 
life was a sad movie because it was about a bet of which of the 
two kids would marry this girl that they both like.
