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.
