6th Grade Families:
For the month of October, we will be exploring the following topics:
- ancient Mesopotamia
- motion graphing, speed, velocity, acceleration, and simple machines
- rates, ratios, proportions, area, and perimeter
- argument writing involving bugs, and parts of speech
We had a lot of fun in September. We were happy to do the following activities:
- Eco-Ed Day
- Writing thank you letters to the Eco-Ed organizers and instructors
- Reading to first graders and learning basics on teaching someone to read using letter sounds (phonemes)
- Reading party where they had to read 5 AR points to attend the party (They all made it!)
- Homecoming week
- Everyone passing their first social studies and science tests
- Learning about nouns, pronouns, and adjectives
- Experiments and teaching demonstrations for classmates
- Doing “cave” art
- Making graphs about themselves
In order to get in to this month’s spooky party, students will need to read and pass 2 AR tests. One book must have a monster of some kind and the other book must be a mystery. I look forward to seeing what books the students will pick up and share with their classmates.
Best Regards,
Mrs. Gusewelle
