New Writing Rules
Sixth grade just finished their unit on nouns and are ready to learn some new rules for writing. We began working with dialogue on Friday and the importance of proper punctuation so we know who is talking. Most of the work will be done in class with notes and examples in their Cornell Notes. We will be doing some partner work, comic strip work and ending with writing stories based on Norman Rockwell pictures. There will be some homework and a few grades going into gradelink during this unit. To see what your student is doing, ask to see their Cornell Notes.
The Winner Is????
The class has finished their novel "The Westing Game" and it is time to review. Due to short weeks, and book reports they will have a review of the characters and a take home test which will be due next Tuesday, Jan. 17. I plan on showing the movie based on the book. This movie is produced by Feature Films For Families and includes some great discussion questions if you are interested in viewing it as a family on your next family movie night.
Stay tuned for the next novel unit!
