Week 6: Walkathon Friday! (9/20)

From the class bloggers: 9/20/24

This week in 6R we had three birthdays. With these birthdays we got donuts, popsicles and Luigi's Ice. The people that had birthdays were Julia, Josh, and Nathanael. In science we made a literal food chain. In G math we are working on dividing by decimals. In T math we are working on long division with decimals. In English we are working on adverbs, adjectives, and articles adjectives. In social studies we are working on physical features. In art we are working on Identity Island, an art project about who you are. In religion we are working on the different types of writing in the Bible. In literature we are reading a story called the “All American Slurp,” about a Chinese immigrated family. We had a great week in 6R! 

Thanks for checking out the blog! 😀

Science Center Field Trip

6th Grade is going on a field trip! On Friday, October 11, we will be headed to the St. Louis Science Center. This will be almost an all day field trip. We will depart from campus around 8:30 and arrive at the center around 9:15. When we arrive, students will be given a “scavenger hunt” to work through with their car groups. At 11:00, we will meet for lunch as a grade, and then get to watch a short movie at 12 (45 minutes) about Blue Whales on the Omnimax screen. Afterwards, we will head back to Zion and get back around 2!

We are on the hunt for field trip drivers to be leaders for small groups. If you would like to volunteer to drive for this trip, please let Mrs. R or Miss D know, along with how many students you can fit in your car (we are looking for households with larger cars for this one, as there are limited parking spots)! You will need to have a current background check.  We appreciate all of your help, as we could not do this without you. We hope to give all parents who want to go on a field trip this year the opportunity to at some point! Thank you again!

• Miss D and Mrs. R  

   

Save the Date:  Our next field trip will be Nov. 8  Weldon Spring Interpretive Center/Harvest Lanes.  We will need parents to drive/chaperone with us this day, too.  More information next month!
