Writer's Workshop:
This week the students finished their Christmas Around the World projects. They started presenting yesterday and will continue through next week. They have done a great job on these! I have also enjoyed the food they have brought from their countries to share with the class.
I sent home their corrected memoirs with them yesterday and today. Ask your child to see them. I enjoyed reading all of them. They were very insightful.
Book Orders:
Book orders are due on Monday December 18th.
-----------------------------------------------------------
Holiday Parties are next Friday. I sent home a note explaining who is signed up for treats. My class (6M) is also having a $5.00 gift exchange. Ask your child about it.
I hope you have a great weekend:)

Writer's Workshop:
This week worked on our Christmas Around the World packets. The students will start their Google slides on Monday using the information from their packets. They also learned how to write a website bibliography. The students will start sharing their slide presentations on Thursday. Each student will be assigned a day to present. Some of the students will be bringing food to share with the students that people eat during Christmas in the country they researched.
Wonder:
The PTO sent all of the students to the movie "Wonder" today. Everyone also had popcorn and a water or 7-up. It was a great time to spend with all of the students and staff. The movie was wonderful. I want to give a big thanks to the PTO for paying for all of this. It was a great experience.
I hope you all have a great weekend:)

Writer's Workshop:
This week in "Writer's Workshop" the students presented their memoirs to the class. They were very good. I learned a lot about what is important to them after hearing their memoirs. We also started Christmas Around the World. The students each picked a country to research. They researched their country's traditions and foods this week. They have a packet that they are keeping all of their research and sites used for their research in. They will take the packet when it is finished and turn it into a google slide presentation with pictures and videos.
Next week they will research their country's celebrations, beliefs, and compare their own traditions with the country's traditions they are researching.
Bobcat Time/Intervention:
We have been practicing two plays for the past four or five weeks. On Thursday my group performed the plays in front of the whole school during our PBIS assembly. The 6th grade was in charge of this assembly which focused on organization. The plays were called "Accepting Responsibility" and "Organization" they did an amazing job!
I would like to give a special thanks to Mr. Duball for bringing in our backdrop for our set. He brought it in and put it together for us. He even gave me some pointers on how to put sheets up for the background. These backdrops helped us separate the scenes in the play.
