2nd nine weeks

This nine weeks we are studying Europe, WW2, and the Holocaust. The students are researching the Holocaust, reading non-fiction, and fiction material. We have a guest speaker coming to speak to us about harrassment, bullying, and the Holocaust. We will be watching documentaries and a movie over the book read in class, Number the Stars. Finally, students will write a transactive portfolio piece (article, letter, or brochure) to be submitted to their 7th grade folder. Topics to choose from are Tolerance, Bullying, or Friendship.

6th grade readers

This week we started the book, I Am Regina, a book set in 1755 Pennsylvania. Students are enjoying the book so far. We've learned about similes, personification, and foreshadowing, which are literary terms students are tested over in the 6th grade. The students have a study guide to accompany the book. This is where they answer questions and write about the book.

Remember to complete the weekly Drops in the Bucket sheet and the Weekly Reading Sheet.
