These past four days have been busy as we worked to move forward as best as possible. All the students in the sixth grade, and in our whole Laguna community, have been so positive and strong amidst everything. Keeping in mind that everyone was in different places emotionally and physically, we continued forward reading The Westing Game, and practiced summary writing now that we've made our way through the first quarter of the book. In History, we've moved to the Indus River Valley and this week evaluated the geography of the Indian subcontinent for habitability. In Math, we were able to wrap up Chapter 4 and the unit on ratios. On Wednesday, sixth grade finally wrapped up our secret snowflake book exchange! It was very fun to see the excitement at the new books, and why each student had the guesses they did. In a way, it was nice to have a little something to celebrate at this point in the year. In science class this week, sixth graders began a unit on nutrients and calories as a supplement to their anatomy curriculum and Food Truck Projects. On Thursday, students were given different kinds of food to weigh, then burned to measure varying amounts of calories in each.
