This past week marked the beginning of our last quarter in 6th grade!  Wow!

Thanks for your support and prayers.

Here is what is in store for the upcoming week….

Language Arts:

• We finished The Hobbit, our last “class” novel. We will continue working on our  Hobbit essays this week.  Our plan is to take things step-by-step to best understand how to write a well-organized essay.   We will complete a daily grammar for the remainder of the year as well.   After spring break will read a book of choice  then move to Shakespeare’s A Midsummer Night’s Dream in late April.  We will plan to present MSND just before school is out.

Science:

• We will wrap up our study of the weather (Ch. 20) and the atmosphere (Ch. 19). Our test over this material will be on Thursday.  Also, students should be checking weather.com each day to record weather data for their chosen city.  The data collection sheet will be turned in on Thursday, March 21.  Students should have 10 days of weather data.

We finished the last week of 3rd quarter with a BANG! We were busy last week as all of our classmates on sports teams had a match, meet or game and Emma and Cooper participated in our amazing school musical, Oklahoma.  Wonderful job to all.  We realized that everyone in our class is involved in a sport or activity after school and began praying for balance and joy.

Monday is Service Project Day.   Thank you, Mindy McDonald, for leading this for our class and to Bill and Meghan Grubbs and James Cook for driving.

A reminder that we are collecting children’s books tomorrow for church-wide collection.  Please bring books tomorrow and put in yellow bag.  I will bring some as well and then turn into the church tomorrow afternoon.

Language Arts:

• We will finish the final chapters of The Hobbit and begin our outlines for the persuasive essays on Thursday.  We will use the techniques in Shurley English text book for the essays in case you have any questions about the process. Much of the work for the essay will be done in class and I look forward to conferencing with the students. The essay is due on Tuesday, March 26.

History:

• We will continue Chapter 21 through the 1960s.  Please encourage your child to look over and review notes on Tuesday and Thursday nights.  I will continue to stress this in class.  We are planning a test the week of the 25^th.
