Today in 6A& 6B

I want to first extend a warm and heartfelt thank-you to all families for their tremendous generosity in the many gifts we received prior to the break. I feel truly blessed to be a part of such a fine community.

ENGLISH: We started our grammar week this morning and will be testing vocabulary and grammar together on Friday. to better prepare students for this challenge we are reviewing our flash cards daily in class to revive some of the pre-Christmas knowledge.

LITERATURE: Today we (finally) finished "The Wednesday Wars" and introduced our final assessment for this read. Students will be creating a calendar for the 1967-68 school year in relation to the chapters of the book. The details of this assignment are on Google Classroom and it will be due a week from Friday (1/18/2019).

RELIGION: Today we explored the "sun/Son" homonyms and responded to the prompt, "Let the son shine in." We extended this to how we might be Christ in each others' lives and how others are Chirst in ours.

SOCIAL STUDIES: We began our Hinduism unit today and will likely move quite quickly through it. We have 3 sections to explore this week and will be testing by the middle of next week. Homework for today is questions 1-4 on page 195.
