Grandparent’s Day

On October 17th, we had the pleasure of having our Grandparent’s join us for fun, prayer, and lunch. It was a wonderful time to spend with our family.

We got to go to RiverEdge for our field trip. We had fun looking through the microscopes.

In our 6th grade reading class we first read Mother Fletcher from our reading book, Mother Fletcher is a story about an old woman that turned out to be a giving woman. After we read that, we read a little part of Old Yeller that was in our reading book. Then we read Viva New Jersey. Viva New Jersey is about a teenager that finds a dog and they can’t have dogs in their apartment, so she has to keep the dog a secret. When we finished Viva New Jersey, our class said that we liked the little part of Old Yeller, so Mrs. Casetta got us the entire book! So now we are reading the whole book.
In Social Studies, we did a project about a country we chose. We made a collage based on the country’s culture.

What’s Keeping Us Learning

In Language Arts, we have been working on our patriotism essays. That is an essay where you write what patriotism means to you. The winner will win some cash money and will move onto the next round.
In the beginning of the year, our first art project was to make a coil pots. What we needed to do was roll the clay with our palms till it was long and worm-like. Then we had to roll out the bottom of the pot and then build it up..

In Science Class, we just finished the organism kingdoms. We made posters about each kingdom. The kingdoms are animal, plant, fungus, protist, and bacteria. Some people made Power Points instead of posters. Now we are working on the biomes of the world.
In Spanish class, we use a computer. We use headphones with microphones. We use the microphones to speak. We use the program Rosetta Stone. We listen to what they say and then we speak the correct pronunciation.

In math class, we learned to identify numbers that are rational numbers. We also learned how to convert fractions to percent, percent to decimals, and decimals to fractions.

During music, the fifth and sixth graders have learned the music notes. We learned about quarter notes, eighth notes, and sixteenth notes. We also learned the different pitches. F.a.c.e. is the spaces where you put the notes for different pitches. E.G.B.D.F. means Every Good Boy Deserves Fudge. This saying helps us remember the pitches for the lines in the treble clef.
