Springing into May
Hello from the sixth grade classroom! We have been working hard as usual over the past few weeks as we are finishing up several projects. Students have been doing awesome work, and I am very proud of the great effort I have been seeing in the classroom. We have been spending time exploring the ministry of Jesus, and we did a study on the Sermon on the Mount. Students made "Words of Advice" posters where they recorded ten pieces of advice that Jesus gives on how to love and serve others. We used these and the Easter crosses to design a bulletin board for the hallway. Be sure to check it out! In ELA, we have been preparing for the MAP test that is coming up, and we have been finishing up our literature circle studies. First, we reviewed things that we learned about pronouns by playing a Fan-and-Pick game. I was SO impressed by the students' problem-solution essays! The students spent time brainstorming, drafting, and reviewing each others' essays.
