It’s HOMEWORK WEDNESDAY!

Students have to write missing topic sentences or ending sentences for three paragraphs. Assignment P1W What’s Missing. Students also need to write a complete paragraph about something they have learned in science so far this year.

We are busy learning how to write great paragraphs in language arts right now. Students know that they need a topic sentence, at least three supporting details, and an ending sentence. Here is a link to the Parts of Paragraph in case they can’t remember what each part’s role is!

In social studies we are becoming film makers while also continuing to study Mesopotamia. Students recently have been working on a short film using images and video from the library’s Hunger Games activities.

Wow, these last three weeks before Winter Break are flying by already!

We are currently collecting canned/boxed foods at school for leadership’s canned food drive! 6th grade is competing against 7th and 8th for an ice cream party! We will be collecting canned food from now until December 19th.

Language arts students have HOMEWORK due FRIDAY Dec 6th! Their assignment is to write a 5 sentence (minimum) paragraph about their favorite food.

In social studies we are continuing our study of Mesopotamia and have moved from the ancient civilization of Sumer to the civilizations of Babylonia and Assyria. Students are also learning how to create iMovies so they can participate in a movie competition sponsored by C-Span. Check it out here!
