Great day of learning for 6th graders!

In math we continued multiplying fractions but added mixed numbers. The only difference is that we had to add a step. Before the mixed numbers can be multiplied, they must first be put into improper fractions. Their assignment for today was to do page 90 in the workbook, all problems.

For writing and spelling we had a special lesson today on expository writing. We looked also at other types of writing -- story, narrative, poetry. We looked at one of author Jerry Pallotta’s books to show an example expository writing. In the middle of the lesson the author, Mr. Pallotta, called our class. He was glad to see that his book could be used in the 6th grade. He is also sending us a copy of his book that isn’t coming out until January!

Watch for a note that will be coming home about next week’s Christmas party.

Have a great Wednesday evening!
