Santas Revealed!!!!

During the 6th grade Christmas party the secret Santas were revealed. Each student was given the opportunity to say what they liked most about their present. We played charades and 2 truths and 1 lie; we ate cookies, chips, and candy canes, and drank a little pop and apple cider. A special thank you to Carol Nolan and Jen Newman for spending the hour with us.

Secret Santa Reveal - Friday December 18th!!!!!

On Friday December 18th from 1:00 pm until 2:10 pm (give or take a few minutes) we will be gathering in the 6th grade classroom to reveal our secret Santas, eat a few cookies and chips, drink some pop, play some board games, and even create a couple of human Christmas trees.

If you were designated to bring a food or drink item for the party, please remember to ask your parents if that is OK. If not, we will need to see if someone else can bring the item. The item can be brought at any time. I will have a place in the classroom where we can store it until Friday. If you are not bringing a food or drink item, consider bringing an item(s) for the human Christmas tree decorating. The fancier we can make them the better. Remember you can bring in your secret Santa gifts any time. We will place it under the Christmas tree in the classroom. Remember DO NOT put your name on it, we want the recipient to be surprised.

They will be practicing reading skills, note-taking skills, collaboration skills, and public speaking skills throughout these projects while learning about ancient civilizations in new and exciting ways. Below is the mini-project outline for Ancient Mesopotamia for your perusal. Ask your student how they like this new process!
