Dear 6C Parents and Students,
We completed our second newspaper article write this year on Thursday, as part of our preparations toward the writing PAT in May. The students were given a collection of facts about the invention of a hockey mask and used the knowledge they have gained about how articles are written, to create their own. As we mark these articles we are looking for a catchy headline, and intro paragraph with the 5Ws, well-organized paragraphs, quotes throughout, and a strong conclusion. The students will be sharing the progression of their article writing at Parent-Teacher conferences on March 19 & 20.
Students are wrapping up their Athenian board games. Students will sculpt their player pieces out of clay on Monday, review their Athenian knowledge on Tuesday, and play the game on Wednesday. Students need to make sure their characters, travel cards, and ancient site cards are complete. Resources are shared with the students on Google Drive if any work needs to be completed over the weekend.
Students learned about the phases of the moon using Oreo cookies and a diagram that they made. Have your child explain the different phases of the moon using the picture below and ask where the sun would be. Next week students will begin their research project for the Sky Science unit.
Have a great weekend!
Ms. Blyth

As students get older and start to move into the upper grades, math becomes more challenging for students and parents who are helping them. Below is a grade YouTube resource for parents looking for a refresher.
Skating
During the week of Monday, Feb 10 to Wednesday, Feb 12 the students in grade 6 will be skating at the ring, weather permitting. We are looking for volunteers to help put on skates and helmets during those three days. A more detailed schedule will be coming out soon.
