6th Grade
Here is a typical newsletter for 6th grade:
What’s been happening -
Homeroom- Each morning the student are responding to different journal prompts. It is expected that they write a minimum of ½ page each morning. I do collect the journals, for writing lesson ideas (I see where they need some work), and for a grade.
Literacy- They continue to have a lit book they are reading in school and they are working on a layered curriculum with their lit book. We’ve also been spending some time writing different types of poetry. Students are writing, revising, editing and publishing different personal poems.
Drama- The big event was held on Sunday @ 6pm and Monday @ 1pm. Students did a fantastic job with their lines and actions!
MN History- We wrapped up presentations on different chapters in the book before Spring break, now the students are doing some MN map work- looking at different boundaries, areas of development and agriculture. They seem to be enjoying it!
Science- We began a new chapter on Robots and Technology- more to come on this.
Looking ahead-
April 22nd- EARTH DAY
April 27th-There is a DARE graduation coming up on April 27th @ 10am in the cafeteria. Students will be sharing what they’ve learned from their DARE officer and making a statement about their opinions of being drug and alcohol free. Watch for more details soon!
April 29th- Grandparent’s Day & Talent Show
May 12th- Field trip to the TWINS game @ Target Field!
June 3rd- Field Trip to Faribault Pool- whole school
June 4th- With all their work on MN History, I planned a field trip to the MN History
Museum for June 4th. We will be leaving immediately that morning for a tour of the State Capitol and then have some lessons and tours of the museum. I will need a couple chaperones that can drive us there and back. See the attached permission slip.
June 11th- Last day of school!!! Happy SUMMER!!!
I am sure there are more things on the calendar, so be watching for additional information- this is a CRAZY time of the year. I will do my best to pass on any additional information to you, when I get it.
Happy Birthday to Luke Marvin on April 24th!
