MonTCas Testing THIS WEEK!

Just a reimnder:
Our class will be taking the annual MontCas tests this week on TUESDAY - WEDNESDAY - THURSDAY and FRIDAY mornings from approximately 9am - 11:45 am. We will break for recess and snack in the middle of that block.
Just a few things that will help make the week (and tests)go smoothly....
* Please be at school this week... if at all possible! If you can't be there, please let me know ahead of time so I can schedule a make-up test for you.
* Get a good nights rest. SLEEP! It is important! Sleep is when your brain grows! (I don't know if that is really true.... but it sounds feasible!)
* Eat BREAKFAST! It makes a bigger difference than you would possible believe. (this one I know to be FACT)

It will be over before you know it. You are all prepared for this. I KNOW you will do your best!

P.S. I owe you a READ ALL DAY day the following week! Let's get it on the schedule!!!

Where do you want to view the world?

 

Why did John LeCarre say "A desk is a dangerous place from which to watch the world?" What did he mean? Do you agree? Where would you like to view the world from? Add your comments!!!

VALENTINE'S DAY PARTY!

Dearest 6th graders -

Please bring any treats you might like to share! Also, Valentine's Day cards would be nice too! A list of names is included below. Please be kind. If you chose to bring cards, please bring some for EVERYONE!
Our party will run from 2:20 - 3:30 on Valentine's Day - Monday, February 14th.
See you there!

After you are assigned (chose?) a country...

1. make sure you have an account of your own at Prezi.com.

2. do some research.... to start, you need to make sure to include the following info about your country

- 5 pictures of different sites from your country
- a famous person from your country - a picture of them and write up (by you...not copied) of why they are famous and when they lived
- a map of your country (you can copy and paste this)
- the capital of your country
- the language or languages spoken in your country
- the population of your country
- the size in square miles of your country
- an example of the types of food eaten in your country
- the geography of your country (mountains? Deserts? beaches? Farmland? lots of cities)

That is a start. Be creative.

computer lab - should we have a 4 day school week?

Title - something like: 4 days of school each week? I think it sounds GOOD!

Intro: 3-4 sentences - introduce the topic and share your opinion. DO NOT share your reasons in the intro! Save them for the body of the essay

paragraph 2 - REASON 1 - state a reason you think your opinion is right - example: if we don't have school on Friday's then we can sleep in! Then explain why your reason is important: example: Students our age need more sleep and friday morning is the perfect time to do it! We will be more alert the rest of the week if we have more time to sleep on Fridays.....
use 3 - 4 sentences


paragraph 3 - REASON 2 - state a second reason why your opinion is right. Support that reason... explaining why it is important.
3-4 sentences


paragraph 4 - REASON 3 - one more reaosn... support it... you get the pattern... RIGHT???
3-4 sentences


CONCLUSION - restate your your opinion as if whoever is reading your essay obviously would agree with you now....
example: As you can see, a four day school week is the only way to go. It has advantages for everybody. I hope Troy Public Schools will consider this option in the future.
3 sentences


HAVE FUN WITH IT! What kind of creative reasons can you come up with? For extra credit... add another paragraph with ideas of how the school district could save money.

Due date: Friday? Maybe next week. Let's see how much we get done....

Today :P
