Currently in mathematics, students are working to draw graphs of patterns. Students are using expressions to relate the data in tables of values and graphing this data as ordered pairs.
In science, we are continuing our study of the night sky and becoming planetary experts through comparing and contrasting our solar system. Kudos to the first grade 6 to see a shooting star this month. Since Student-Led Conferences, students of 6.1 and 6.2 have been engaged in activities aimed at enriching their vocabularies. Recently, we have begun examining proper sentence structure. All of this work is in anticipation of a story writing project we will be beginning after Winter Break. Please have a conversation with your child about the various practice challenges they have recently completed. Our Social Studies has taken us to ancient Athens. We are beginning our inquiry into the foundations of democracy laid down in ancient Athens and exploring the ways in which our own government system compares and contrasts to that of this ancient civilization. Students will complete various comprehension activities independently, in groups and as a class. Currently, we are learning about what daily life was like for Athenians as well as studying the social structure of their society.
Here's an update on Winter Camp along with some other tidbits on what is happening in the world of 6.1 and 6.2 as we head towards Winter Break.
