Week of October 21

Welcome back from Fall Break!

I hope you had a great long weekend.

We are diving right back into everything!

Math: We will continue our work with Ratios and take a Mid-Chapter Check-In in Friday.

Social Studies: Your students gave fabulous presentations on Mummies last week to wrap up our unit on Egypt. It was fun to see them research, work together, and present.

We are starting our unit on Rome this week! Lots of talk about government and what a republic is.

Science: The sixth grade just started their rotation in science. My students are now going to Miss Cook's class Tuesday - Friday for about 35 minutes. She is teaching them about The Seasons and The Moon Phases. Very exciting!

Writing: This week we will be exploring the use of really good "hooks" at the beginning of an essay. This is a big part of writing that we will be working on all year.

Let me know if you have any questions!
