Today in 6A!

RELIGION: Students wrote their quiz on the Chapter 11 lessons that we held this week.

ENGLISH: We picked up today's lesson where yesterday's left off with us working on creating citations. As a means of helping students determine the language of the cheat sheet given to them, I worked them through the first one together as a class. Students who are still working on this assignment over the weekend will need to skip the YouTube video because the website is restricted on their Chromebooks. Each of the provided sources deals with a different type of source asking students to retrieve information and present it through a variety of standards.

SOCIAL STUDIES: Our lesson/activity built on yesterday's examination of Grecian geography by identifying significant locations on a map of Greece and then having them answer a number of questions that address our topic from yesterday's lesson.

****Monday is "Teresa Day" where students may dress in free dress for a $5 donation to the Nguyen family to support their daughter's cancer treatments. Students must wear Purple or Pink****


An alarming trend has come to my attention recently where some of our students are using "gay" as an insult toward each other. This is inappropriate behavior for many reasons but primarily because it suggests that being gay is something inherently bad or to be ashamed of. It's not, and we need all hands on deck to ensure that our kids grow up understanding the value of people who are different from ourselves. I have spoken to both classes about this issue and I assured them that if this continues I will pursue the maximum allowable discipline for this type of discrimination.
