Today in 6A & 6B

ENGLISH: We started a new set of Grammar lessons today as we explored the agreement between subject and verb. The key to this lesson was to ensure that the subject and verb carry matching plural or singular forms. Adding complexity to this was the prepositional phrases between the subject and verb. By having students first identify the subject and and prepositional phrase, they could easily identify the verb and then the proper form of that verb.

LITERATURE: We read chapter 2 "October" of the Wednesday Wars where we saw our first person narrator and middle schooler, Holling Hoodhood, surrender his Wednesday afternoons to Mrs. Baker's chores. The cream puffs were ruined by chalk dust and the classroom rats escaped. A lot of excitement for a single 7th grader.

RELIGION: We observed the last two presentations from our work before Thanksgiving in connection with the World Food Programme.

SOCIAL STUDIES: Students used partner reading to review the section we read the week prior to Thanksgiving. They were assigned questions 1-7 on page 175. If this was not completed in class it is homework.
