Week 26: Back to Health

Thanks to all the students who have been absent for their hard work to get caught up!  We are almost back to health in 6R.  Be sure to check in one more time with each teacher to be sure you have finished anything needed still.  I appreciate the cooperative nature of this class in supporting a substitute on Wednesday as I was out with one of my own sick kids.   We finally had all 3 back in school after 3 weeks of having someone home sick.  Praise God that He gives us our health!


A Note from Mrs. Dersch:
English 6   Week of February 13-19
Spelling: Unit 19, packet and quiz due Friday

English: We had a quiz over the rest of the verbs unit, lessons 9-13. Quizzes should be returned on Tuesday. Next week we are beginning a new unit on Adjectives.

Writing: We wrote a tall tale in class. Some students are choosing to read their tales aloud so we can practice our speaking and listening skills.

Make-up work: Most all students are caught up on make –up work. Thank you to students and parents as I myself handle make-up grading (for I suffered a bout of the flu!)

Look ahead: We will be spending next week on close reading (the process of marking up a text for deep analysis/discussion.) We will also be finishing up argumentative writing. We will begin our research unit in March. The first assignment will be to interview a parent or grandparent, so be ready to share stories about the day your child was born.

Blessings to you and your family,

Rebecca Dersch
