Presentations, Drawings, Books, and Ornaments

We have had a busy past two weeks! Students were able to do their humanitarian aid poster presentations in small groups. The students put a lot of hard work and time into each poster, and they shared important information about how their organization helps people in need. 
In the picture below, students are completing maps of the tribes of Israel as we have been studying their experiences in the Promised Land.

We have started going to library this week! Students can check out up to two books at a time for two weeks. Mrs. Brandt gave some tips for choosing books that match interest and level.

On Friday, we started getting into the Christmas spirit by making paper ornaments that will be hung on the Christmas tree near the main office. 'Tis the season!

Last week of School!

We made it! There were lots of activities scheduled for the last week of school, and we really enjoyed our time together. First, the students acted out parts of the Bible story where Lazarus is raised from the dead. In addition, I had a great birthday celebration on the 4th! I am so thankful for all of the gifts and cards I received; the kids made my day! We even had a countdown to the exact time I was born (9:39 AM) :)  On Wednesday, we had a "Word Game" day where students played Boggle, Madlibs, Upwards, and Scrabble with a certain group. Students were able to rotate around and try out each of the games.  We also finished up our 3D figures math unit by measuring different figures and finding the surface area, volume, and other attributes of the solids. Students worked in partners for this activity. Students helped out Mr. Cox by pulling staples from New Testament booklets that are going to the jail ministry through Forgotte

Fun in Grade 6

We also measured their elevation and relief.  We celebrated all of the pledges with donuts and cider!

End of Year Fun

The year is almost over, and I hope you are all looking forward to summer break! Since we have finished up MAP testing, this last week should be a breeze. Here are some of the things we have been up to lately:  Students were introduced to different types of punctuation by trying to determine which ones should be used in different sentences.  Students did very well on their social studies Caribbean Island posters! I was very impressed with the organization and creativity that went into these projects. Here are pictures of the students' hard work during our work sessions: Our last literature unit was all about poetry. We read through a poem by Lewis Carroll called "The Jabberwocky." After reading, the students were challenged to use vivid details from the poem to draw a picture of what they think the Jabberwocky looks like. In math, we have been studying properties of 3D figures along with finding their surface areas and volumes. Students
