Grammar: The 6th graders are finishing a unit on Pronouns. So far we’ve reviewed personal pronouns, possessive, antecedents, subject/object pronouns, demonstrative, interrogative, indefinite pronouns, and reflexive/intensive. Today/tomorrow we are learning about relative pronouns and then will review for test. Their test will be this Friday.
Writing/Research: This week we’ll conclude our Research unit with the 5th Grade Living Museum. For this unit, we started by learning how to use different reference materials (dictionary, thesaurus, atlas, almanac, encyclopedia, and online/internet), and then we learned the steps of the research process including how to write a proper bibliography. This week students will wrap up their Living Museum projects and work on their presentation speeches. All of their work for the Living Museum will be mostly done at school except getting their costume together, a little extra research if needed, and practicing/writing their speech.
Spelling- We are done with spelling! 😊
Reading: This week we will continue a WWII novel study (either Number the Stars or Code Talkers). For this book, they will have reflection questions to answer for each chapter. These questions will be kept in their yellow novel folders and can be done for class work and then finished for homework (and studied for the test). For this book, we’ll review all of their literature standards (characterization, setting, conflict, resolution, tone, point of view, theme, comparison, and using direct quotes). Sixth graders will be reviewing symbolism and learning about the plot diagram. This book will count toward their May Log. They’ll need to read one other book of their choice. Their WWII Novel Test will be this Wednesday, May 15.
