Today in 6A &6B

ENGLISH: After some flash cards our students began their Unit 10 Composition: Writing What They Feel... To Music! I presented the students with 3 different classical songs and the students free-wrte what the music triggered in them. For some this was a direct emotion explanation while for others it inspired stories and adventure. All is good. Tomorrow, students will take what they wrote and compose it into a coherent piece (for each of the three songs).

RELIGION: Students finished the chapter on Genesis understanding that God has given us free will. That he loves us and wants us to love him, but allows us to choose to love him. We examined "Stewardship" and what it means to be a steward of the earth in some capacity.

SOCIAL STUDIES: We started our Kite-building project today and what beautiful chaos it was. I believe that by the end of this exercise the students will be happy with their work and will look forward to a moment when they can fly their kites.

***There is no homework issued this evening. Students are expected to make themselves available to parents to help them with any tasks around the house. Our kids should show a little initiative in making this happen***
