A day of fun and learning in sixth grade

Book orders are due tomorrow.  Books are great stocking-stuffers!

Since this is a short week, we will not be having spelling.  However we did do a word activity, using a word ladder.  Ask your child about these.

In writing we read a couple of unique Thanksgiving poems, both written by poets who are friends of mine.  Your child then had to write a story, using dialogue, about two turkeys that are getting nervous about the approach of Thanksgiving.

In science we reviewed all of our lessons in our Fossils to Fuel curriculum.  We have gone through the formation of natural gas and fossil fuels through the refinery process.  Today we heated milk and vinegar to show what happens.  We discussed petroleum-based products.

Book orders are due tomorrow.
