Week 25: Field Trip Fun!

 

From the Class Bloggers: BY: Graham and Lucas

 

Today is finally that last day of the week. On monday it was Presidents 

day so we did not have school. Tuesday was our first day back at school

 from a four day weekend. Wednesday we had a field trip to a play called

 Spells Of The Sea. The class said they did not like the show that much.

 (Teacher note: the comment I overhears was "it wasn't as good as 

the movie we saw Friday." ) After that we went to the art museum and

 the favorite arts were the paintings because they had a history to them. 

Thursday was pretty slow for the class because of the field trip the previous 

day. And finally today is friday the 8th grade girls are going to state for 

basketball, and all of the cheerleaders went also. And we have no science 

or social studies because we are watching a movie.

Reminders:

Book Fair:  Our class shopping day is Wednesday.  Here's our QR code if you would like to donate to our class library. 

 Grandparents Day:  We are getting excited to celebrate our grandparents and special guests on Friday. See below for details.

What's happening in 6th grade?

Religion -   Along with our study of Jesus ministry, we began using  Lenten devotions that show us Jesus walk to the cross for us.

S.S.  Our class is exploring the country of India and our connection to the Information Technology industry there through outsourcing IT jobs. 

Math - G-Math is exploring ratio relationsips and will begin unit rates.  T-Math is getting into the meat of fraction multiplication and division and will next apply fractions in volume problems.

Art -  Students are researching different styles of crosses and their background to inspire a unique cross art project based on a Scripture verse.

Lit. - We wrapped up our nonfiction study with a reflective essay by Helen Keller.  The class was amazed by news footage of how Helen learned to speak and read finger-spelling by touch.  They reviewed our unit by focusing on one of our articles and analyzing all of its non-fiction elements.   We celebrated the end of the unit by watching The Miracle Worker, Helen Keller's story.  This one the kids DID love!!

Science - Ask your child about their Monster Genetics project!!

English - RESEARCH PAPER begins next week!
