Today in 6A!

ENGLISH: We continued with our examination of the children's storybooks that students brought to school and what elements these books have. Today we used pointed questions to take a second look at our books and saw that while many are different in various ways, they also share some details. It is the expert employment of literary devices that make the text so effective. The relatability of the characters and expressive nature of the illustrations help make it so that even those who cannot read, have a great sense of the action, emotion, and message in that story.

LITERATURE: Students wrote their final STAR Math assessment today.

RELIGION: In our lesson the torch of leadership was passed from Moses to Joshua, who then lead the Hebrews into the land of Canaan. The victories held by the Jews over the Canaanites were evidence of God's presence on their side. These events were compared to the modern church and our own leadership.

SOCIAL STUDIES: We had a thought experiment in class today where students were posed with several questions and they explained why they either agreed or disagreed with the question. Students  were allowed to change their position based on the opinions of other students in the different areas.
