It was nice to be together this week as Quarter 2 came to a close. Settling back into the swing of things has been comfortable and reassuring. This week in Language Arts, the sixth graders continued reading The Westing Game and tracking changes in plot and character. In keeping with the mystery theme, they also began writing their own creative writing mystery stories! We spent this week completing a planning frame; so that sixth graders learn how to design a plot, begin with character traits in mind, and are therefore able to build a suspenseful mystery in their writing. In History, after wrapping up geography of India we've studied the foundations and core values of Hinduism. Finally, in math, Mrs. Valentine has supplemented our unit on ratios with several engaging activities and taught the unit with clarity.
