From Miss Thomas, Miss Springer, and Mrs. Houston's 6th grade pod:
You know what they say... if you can't beat 'em, join 'em!
Today we celebrated the 67th day of 6th Grade. We played Minute to Win it games, and gave them 67 seconds to play. It was so much fun watching them work together, and celebrate each other as a team. We laughed, we clapped, and we had a whole lot of fun!
A special shoutout to our 6th Grade AIS, Mrs. Warwick, who helped create a day that will hopefully be a core memory for the kids in years to come.
Here are a few things we have learned in the last 67 days:
- How to use the R.A.C.E.S. writing strategy to create full, 6th grade level sentences.
- The purpose of adding coordinating conjunctions into sentences in order to up our writing from simple sentences to complex sentences.
- When to add commas into our writing and how and when to indent paragraphs.
Here are a few things we are going to be learning in the next 67 days (and longer):
- How to read a 6th grade level passage and decide if you need to write an argumentative or informational essay.
- We will learn about the Greek Gods and Goddesses.
- We will master our writing skills and be able to write an essay that is 4-5 paragraphs in length in one class period.
As we close out the first third of the school year, I want to thank you all for everything you do to ensure your kids are as successful as possible. I am so lucky I get to teach them and get to know them each and everyday as they grow into who they are meant to be.
I hope you all have a Happy Thanksgiving!
