Welcome Back...

Time to get back to work...

All classes will be bringing home lots of graded work to be signed.  Please make sure you ask to see it and sign it- Thanks.

Also 6A and 6B are still doing READING LOGS- EVERY night.  Please check and sign those as well.

6A and 6B will be doing CENTERS this entire week.  I have put together several different centers that the students will rotate through.  We will be doing HOT DOTS, Vocabulary, Guinness Book Writing Prompt Cards and several other skill building activities.  PLEASE make sure your child brings their Purple Vocabulary Book with them on Monday and every day this week.  Students also need pencils, lined paper and their NONfiction Book everyday.


 













6C will begin a Mythology Unit.  We will start with Ancient Greece.  Students will learn about the daily lives and special events of Ancient Greeks.  Students will also learn about Greek architecture, do map activities and vocabulary exercises.  There will be a vocabulary list but no test.  Instead, students will have vocabulary activities for grades.
 
Next, we will begin a review of the Greek gods. Students will create Mythology biographical poems, and be quizzed on information about each god/goddess.  We will read a few myths from our Literature books. 

6C students will be given their next project on Monday or Tuesday of this week.  It is called Mythology All Around Us.  Rubrics and instructions will come home by Tuesday.  The due date for this project is December 16th.
