Trimester Two (or "the long haul" as I like to call it), is behind us officially this afternoon at about 3:00pm when grades are due. Trimester Three (or "the woo-hoo") is coming and soon it will be spring break and then May, June and sionara sixth grade :(
Until then, we have a plate full of fun and exciting new foods to try, sprinkled throughout (of course) with our favorite standbys (spelling tests, grammar day and reading anyone?)... Third trimester brings a truck load of excitement.
In Social Studies: We'll finish up our Canada unit this week (hopefully), and then begin looking at the Inca, Aztec and Maya (this is a 3 week unit which culminates with the chapter 11 &12 test). From there, we'll put our travel agent caps on and report to Mr. Tater about the best destination for his south of the border holiday.
In the lovely world of Language Arts: District writing assessment takes place in April, we'll continue with our DOL, grammar days, and fun write Fridays. We are done with BARF and book conferences and instead will focus our reading energy toward the Meeting Challenges Conference, and a book talk. We'll wrap things up with the 6th grade survival guide imovie project at the end of the year.
I'm ready to engage you with all of these wonderful curricular projects, I sincerely hope that you are ready to learn!
