Today in 6A & 6B

ENGLISH: Continuing with our exploration of Verbs, we studied irregular verbs and verb tenses. I drew a diagram of the interaction of various verbs to create such tenses. Each of these concepts adds a layer of complexity to the behavior of verbs in a sentence and it is essential that students be able to recognize this behavior and identify it properly. This will help them better understand their own writing.

LITERATURE: Students retold the story of "The Market Square Dog" from the perspective of the police officer. This change in viewpoint helps students to better appreciate how different characters behave. Similarly, this exercise assists students in appreciating the various perspectives in our own classroom.

RELIGION: Today's lesson followed Moses and the Hebrew people as they fled Egypt, their 40 years of wandering the desert and how Moses came to receive the 10 commandments.

SOCIAL STUDIES: Students completed their presentations about Sumerian Gods today and we summed up the "why" behind this exercise.

*****Tomorrow all students will be participating in our Geography Bee oral exam (does not count toward student grades) to see who will represent the 6th grade at the school-wide Geography Bee. Success at the school level will advance a student to the regional Bee, the State Bee, etc.*****
