This week kicked off with the finale of the Archeological Dig project: the Sixth Grade Archeological Conference! Each of the four teams presented on the artifacts they'd found, and which civilization they believed they had discovered because of it. Each student shared some researched facts about their newly uncovered civilization as well. It was a great finale to a long and rewarding unit! This week in Language Arts, sixth graders completed 3/5 of the Mental Health Matters unit. Students are learning about common mental health disorders, how to be "stigma busters" and how to support someone in a positive way. Students will wrap up the 5 day unit on Tuesday of this coming week. We also held some preliminary discussions in anticipation of our final all-class novel, The Giver.
In History, sixth graders "visited" ancient Athens by completing activities at six different stations. They learned about ancient greek Religion, Architecture, Sculpture, Athletics, Philosophy, and Drama. In Math, we completed Chapter 8 on Algebraic Equations and Inequalities and will be beginning the Coordinate Plane next week.
