It was a busy exciting week last week! We had a red carpet premiere of our Golden Goblet puppet movies in language arts as well as recreated life in the hierarchy of Egyptian society in social studies with an interact. Students were randomly chosen as pharaohs, nobles, peasants, as well as other positions in life and had to complete a task as those characters. I think everyone decided that it was no fun having a pharaoh ordering them around!

This week is going to be a busy one as well!

In language arts we have started a new unit making our own personal dictionaries with different descriptive words as well as sentence patterns to spice up our writing. Writing is definitely a challenge for our class, but with we’ve made so much progress as writers since the beginning of the year, we can’t stop now!

In social studies we are wrapping up our Egypt Unit and have a unit test on Tuesday that students should be studying for! We will be doing a mini unit on India starting Thursday.

Coming up:

This week we will be having the career fair on Wednesday March 6th, which I am actually participating in as the “teacher”. Students will have the opportunity to travel around to different booths and learn about potential future careers. It’s a great opportunity for kids to start thinking about how the choices they make during middle school will affect what happens only a couple years down the road! Ask your 6th grader about it Wednesday night!

Next week! Conferences are just around the corner! From 3:15-7:15 pm, on Tues March 12th and Wed March 13th, Ms. Thill, Ms. Welsh, and I will all be holding drop in conferences during that time. I hope to see everyone there! If you can’t make it, feel free to schedule a conference by calling or emailing at any time 🙂
