What a packed four days! This week was filled with fun holidays and great lessons. In Language Arts, sixth graders revised and submitted their creative mystery stories! We honored the efforts of these rising authors by taking some class time to read excerpts from their stories to each other. One cold morning, we even had hot chocolate and mystery stories! These stories wrapped up our winter Mystery Unit. In History, we moved from Ancient India to Ancient China. We began by making a map of China (each student was assigned a quadrant of a smaller map and had to do their best to translate and recreate their section so we could come together to make a large scale one). From that, we learned about the geography that isolated China for thousands of years in ancient times, as well as the early Shang Dynasty. In Math class, we worked on fraction-decimal-percent conversions and had some fun applying that knowledge to the Olympic medal standings! In PE, sixth graders had a special guest Monday morning! For their rugby unit, Andra Wilson invited England-raised Ty Brandt, who grew up playing rugby for his school and played Fly-Half for the US Pacific Northwest team. Mr. Brandt (or "coach Ty" as the students called him) also happens to be Ms. Armstrong's fiancé. ;) Valentines Day and Chinese New Year brought some fun celebrations to our class! Enjoy the four day weekend!
