Another Great Week

We had so much fun in class last week with our Rome Presentations, Ice Skating, and making mini mes!

Literacy: We continue to work on persuassive writing. The students started their own essay trying to convince a family to move to Mapleton. We are reaching the end of our shared reading book, The Lightning Thief and are excited to find out what happens in the end. The students have been making connections to the book through their daily journal prompts.

Math: Students were sent home with a Proportions assessment. This needs to be returned this week. For a performance assessment in class they have been making a "Quarter-sized" me. They measured all over themselves, divided the measurements by 4 and used these to draw a mini me with the same proportions as themselves. They turned out great and will be in the hall soon!

Science: Mrs. Andersen continues to teach the class about microorganisms. Caleb Young won our Moldy Universe Pagent. They also made decomposing chambers and are watching mold grow from various places they swiped around the school.

Social Studies: I was so impressed with the class as they presented their Roman Character to the other sixth grade classes. They stood up there with such confidence and all looked great in their togas! Thanks to those who brought a few extra and Mrs. Harris for providing us with gold for around their waste!
