6th Grade
Wow! I cannot believe that 1st Quarter is already over and we are a couple days into 2nd Quarter. The beginning of this school year has really flown by. We have been really busy in 6th grade. A few things the sixth graders have been doing are:
Last week, the sixth graders went on their last School of Economics trip! Prior to the trip, they had worked really hard to prepare for the trip with the fourth and fifth graders. They had a great time and did very well working in their shops.
In Science, we have investigated the events of earth's history and built the geologic time scale. We made informational booklets about the earth's layers, and are currently working on visual displays about the different tectonic boundaries.
In Social Studies, we have located the states of the United States and are now working on locating some of the major cities of the world.
In Math, we have been recently working with positive and negative numbers, how to classify numbers as rational, integer, and whole, and how to find the absolute value. We just recently started working with the coordinate plane and we played Battleship while using ordered pairs correctly.
We are always working on improving our reading and writing skills! Here is to a great 2nd Quarter!
