Wednesday in sixth grade: metric measurement, verb forms, spelling and COMPLIMENTS!

In math today we worked more with metric measurement, but for capacity and mass, rather than length.  We discussed the difference in metric and customary measurement.  Your child has a review quiz on page 444 in his/her text due tomorrow.  Some require a ruler.  If you do not have one at your house, he/she may do those the first part of class tomorrow.

In language we did a quick review of linking and helping verbs.  We also started a new writing piece.  Again, we are still working on argumentative pieces.  Your child had to write the pros and cons of a school uniform.

In spelling, the wordskills group did pages 209-210, which reviews all the words up to now.  The Evan Moor group did an editing practice, using their spelling words.

Class pictures are tomorrow
We will be taking class pictures tomorrow.  Remember that if you want your child to take individual pictures, he/she needs to do this before or after school hours. 

Our class received two compliments today.  We have a compliment chart in the room.  We are one away from a special treat of some kind.  Remembering our procedures has been a little hard for some of us.  So we are working on them continuously. 

Have a wonderful Wednesday!
