What a great week at Alliance Redwoods! There's nothing better than beautiful forests, clean air, and awesome 6th graders. Students had a wonderful time zip lining, climbing ropes courses, braving the giant pinata/swing, and learning about forest ecology. I loved it all. Okay. That's not quite true. As a whole foods geek, I had a hard time eating the food...but other than that it was great!
Parents, please view the photos located on Bloomz. They are in the "media" tab.
Next week at school we continue our work with The Lightning Thief and learning how to compare and contrast with other myths. Our mid-module assessment will be writing a mini analytical essay about the elements of mythology they will find in the Prometheus text. Our final module assessment will be writing a 5 paragraph analytical essay connecting the theme of Cronus to the Lightning Thief. In social studies, we will begin our unit on Judaism and Christianity. It will be a short (less than 2 week) unit and then we will move on to Mesopotamia, Egypt and Kush.
Our art docent starts this week! Thank you, Mrs. Vierra!
