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. They need to make sure their paragraph has a topic sentence, at least 3 supporting details, and an ending (conclusion) sentence. They are practicing writing organized paragraphs.

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!
