Today in 6A & 6B

ENGLISH: We began with some flash cards and the students in both classes are really on top of these words. Tomorrow we will take away the word lists and have them make those connections without them. After completing our Vocabulary in Context and Passage-Based Reading, we took some time to play Scrabble as a class. Having students manipulate letters and find word combinations that generate points is helpful for their quick thinking and problem solving skills.

LITERATURE: We read another 20 pages on "The Wednesday Wars" as a class, witnessing how Holling Hoodhood's classmate reacted in various scenarios that Holling is fearful of.

RELIGION: We continued our discussion of Advent and why the methods of preparation matter in order to help us get into the spirit of the season.

SOCIAL STUDIES: Students continue their look at Mohenjo-Daro where we analyze how, and infer why, the concept of "cleanliness" was presented in this early culture.
