Sixth Grade

Our first week back after break was packed! We are excited to begin several new things in class. The students reviewed finding the area of different figures by going on a scavenger hunt. They solved problems to find letters that made up the word for my least favorite critter... earthworms! We reviewed different verb tenses this week, and students searched through magazines to find examples of past, present, and futures tenses being used in sentences. In addition, students went to different stations to explore a variety of mystery and fantasy books, which led them to choosing their own novel to read over the next few weeks.

We had a FANTASTIC Christmas celebration here at Bethlehem! We built gumdrop Christmas trees with our chapel buddies, participated in crafts, and had a fun party.  We also had a blast on the bowling field trip!  For math, the students worked on plotting a special Christmas picture on a coordinate plane. In social studies, we went through an overview of U.S. history as we explore the U.S. Students used a World Atlas historical timeline to put together their own timelines of U.S. history.
