Theoretical and experimental probability...in sixth grade!

In math we discussed theoretical probability and experimental probability.  Yes, big words that can be very scary.  But we went over them.  I told them not to let big words scare them.  Once you tear a word apart, you can make sense of it.  Their paper assignment is the mid-chapter quiz on page 388.

In spelling we played Sparkle and each group had an assignment.

In language we discussed adverbs and adjectives, and how to tell them apart.   We also discussed other parts of speech that we have worked with this year.  Your child drew a part of speech and is to research that part.  They may use books, the Internet, any source they may find.  Their assignment is to make a poster (I will provide the paper if they do not have any) for the part of speech he/she drew.  It is to be pleasant to the eye.  The objective of this is to make a poster so that a person can not only see examples of the given part of speech, but have a better understanding of it, as well.

Have a great Thursday!
