Today in 6A!

RELIGION: students wrote their Unit 4 Family Life quiz.

ENGLISH: Our class time for each group was used to work on our Narrative essays about a recent road trip we have taken. This is day two of this exercise and so students should have spent this class rime making use of their peers to refine their work and offer suggested edits. This assignment is due tomorrow but we will not have class time to work on it. Therefore students should submit their work this evening.

LITERATURE: This class period was also used to work on another writing assignment, also due tomorrow. I have prefaced the past week of work with benchmarks that the students should meet each day. Today's benchmark was to use the time, much like they did in English, to peer edit and refine their writing. This essay is also due tomorrow and students will not have class time to write. Tomorrow is indeed a half-day, so students may work on this after school and submit prior to 3:00 PM.
I must admit, of the essays that I have read so far, the student writing has greatly improved overall, speaking to the effort that our students are putting in on a regular basis to become better writers.

SOCIAL STUDIES: After taking up the homework, we examined the relationship between Egypt and their southern neighbors, the Nubian kingdom. Students are assigned questions 1-6 on page 110 for homework.

***Dr. O has graciously offered a free-dress day for all students tomorrow without the use of a free dress pass. Students are welcome to come to school out of uniform in proper free dress attire***
