We have had a great first two weeks of school! Students know their way around the building, have mastered their locks, and are completing homework. Here are a few reminders of assignments that will be due soon.
Literature groups meet every Thursday. The AM class is reading Small Steps, and the PM class is reading The Cay. Both groups should finish the book by Thursday. When students come to literature groups, they need to have their literature journal complete. The journal needs three reactions to what they have read. Each reaction should be a complete paragraph and include the page number. I have examples on Google Classroom.
Thursday is also the day the unit 1, week 3, vocabulary slides are due. The word and definition is given to the students. They need to use the word in a meaningful sentence, find a picture that depicts the word, and include either a synonym, antonym, or a personal story of the word.
I will do a writer’s notebook check on September 3. See Google Classroom for a list of assignments I will be looking for. Each entry needs to be dated and titled.
I have been impressed with the students positive attitudes and work ethic! Keep it up sixth graders! Be sure to let me know if you have any questions!
