9/12/19

We are still working on Number the Stars - we did close reads this week.  A close read is when you just take a few passages and pull out words that do something - such as create a feeling of peace, or create a feeling of danger.

With this in mind and with the anniversary of 9/11, we are creating posters with recipes for peace - and they are doing a fantastic job!
I am very proud of them!

9/5/19 - This week we have been working on the summer reading Number the Stars.  If your child got the book from the library - please see if you can borrow it again.  It would be a lot easier for your student if they have the book.  So far we have started working on vocabulary and summarizing different parts of the story.  We will have a test on Number the Stars - probably by the end of next week.  But I will let you and your students know for sure next week.  For homework they only needed to finish their classwork - which was drawing a picture of their favorite scene from the book and then summarizing it.  Most of the students finished this in school.  They can also be studying their vocabulary words.
Thanks
 

WELCOME TO 6TH GRADE!!
