Today in 6A & 6B

ENGLISH: Starting our grammar week off quickly we examined 2 sections of Chapter 2; Correcting Sentence Fragments, Correcting Run-on Sentences, and Eliminating Extra Words. These three lessons are key to having our students become stronger peer editors and writers. There were 2 exercises that were issued as homework so that students may best prepare for Friday's test.

LITERATURE: Dr. O paid a visit to our class today as she read one of her favorite books that describes the issues young black children experienced in the days of segregation and civil rights. This was a very special class as yesterday was Martin Luther King Jr. Day and our students do not normally review civil rights issues.

RELIGION: Our students are doing a swell job of getting our room ready for Catholic Schools Week.

SOCIAL STUDIES: Students examined the Eight-fold Path in a bit more detail today. Here they listed practical examples of how each of the 8 paths could be followed in their own daily lives.

****English and Social Studies will each have tests this coming Friday. Students should be studying every night to best prepare****
