Sixth Grade News
The sixth graders are back in the groove after Easter break. We started off with a visit from a LifeWorks representative who will be joining us on Thursdays for six weeks. We are interested to find out about the topics she will be discussing. Her visit was followed by AIR/TIDE testing that covered English/Language Arts and Math. In Religion our focus in the Old Testament has brought us to the judges and first kings of Israel. We are currently learning about cells in science, focusing on the organelles that can be found in plant and animal cells. We will be creating a 3D cell model of either a plant or animal cell for our final assessment. In math it’s all about algebra: equations and inequalities. We have been writing and solving all kinds of equations and determining whether a number is a solution of an inequality while using a number line diagram and deciding if we go to the right or the left on the number line all the while getting into the groove and going to the right and left with the Cupid Shuffle just for fun. In language arts we are continuing to read The Outsiders while developing our vocabulary and context clue decoding skills. We have also begun our pronouns grammar unit and will be using this new knowledge to create a variety of advertising brochures with pronouns’ slogans and jingles at the end of the unit. In social students we are beginning a unit on one of the greatest civilizations of all time. We are currently being introduced to two main themes- geography and politics. Soon we will be exploring famous Greek Gods, mythology and battles. Check here next month to see what the sixth grade is up to. Ask your sixth grader how we keep ourselves busy every day.
