What's happening in class?

November 8-12

• Monday we will take a test over last week's words/chapters from Number the Stars (1-6) and finalize our open responses from Friday.
• Tuesday-Friday we will read chapters 7-9 in Number the Stars. (See the page with Reading Websites for a link to Number the Stars activities.)
• We complete a "6th Grade" vocabulary activity sheet each day. These are words all 6th graders should know.
• We are starting a new Drops in the Bucket sheet this week: Editing paragraphs.
• To help students prepare for testing, I have taken sentences from the text we read and make it grammatically incorrect (or not). Students have multiple choice answers to choose the correctly written form of the sentence.
