This week in class....
Language Arts
ODES
Students are finishing their odes and will present to the class on Wednesday...ask your student to present his or her ode to you -- in dramatic fashion! The ode assignment was for students to write a loving tribute(using rhyme scheme, simile, metaphor, personification, and hyperbole) to a non-living thing...like, french fries (Miss Buck's favorite!).
Students will receive a writing and speaking score for this assignment. Classes will vote on their favorites to present to the rest of the sixth grade classes on Valentine's Day in the Lecture Hall.
Vocabulary/Spelling
We will resume vocabulary and spelling next week...watch for it!
Social Studies
Studies of Native American cultures is underway and student groups are becoming experts in particular Native American cultures from specific geographic locations in North America. Groups will create an informational poster of their region's cultural elements and present to the class on Tuesday, February 19th. A Native American test will follow the next day.
Reading
We are testing in OAKS all week. Students should get a good night's rest and eat well this week.
