January 7th- 11 th

On Monday, we will have our Folk Tale test.  Students were given a list on Friday of everything that would be on the test so they could prepare over the weekend.

Our next Common Core Unit will be Immigration.  New vocabulary will be given on Monday and test is on Thursday.

We will have lessons on the Statue of Liberty, Ellis Island and Angel Island.






Students will also complete a research project in class (hopefully) on the IPADS.  They will research a certain group of immigrants and we will turn the 6th grade hallway into a Cultural Museum.

Students will be required to interview someone from another country and collect a recipe.  All of the recipes will be turned into a Recipe Book for each student to keep.


6C will read  Ashes of Roses by Mary Jane Auch.
