Student Blog is Up!

I couldn't have stated it any better. My student blogger is just amazing. So - she will tell this week's story...

This week was very jam-packed with map-testing, our Tool projects, making our desert posters, and our cell analogy writings. The online gator buck system was also started this week.

Map testing took a lot of time out of our day but thankfully, we got most of it completed! We at least started all of the tests even if we didn't complete them. 

Our tool projects turned out great! Everyone did an amazing job presenting them to the class. 

Our desert posters also turned out perfect! Everyone took a role and pursued it. Cooperation and working together was a huge part in this project and the end result was amazing. It even helped us write notes on each desert. We learned a lot of interesting things about each desert and got to have a lot of fun too. 

Our cell analogy writings are up and running. This week, we wrote about a place that we love to go to. But that's not it, we pretended it was a cell! Each part of the cell, represented a different part of the building. Everyone did a great job coming up with ideas for this writing. 

Is everyone excited to earn prizes from the gator buck store? If so, we should try to use the 3 R's a lot. Starting this week, you can earn gator bucks online! Also, if you earn 10 or more gator bucks, at fun Friday you can earn a prize and it won't cost you any gator bucks at all!

Coming up is Labor Day weekend so everyone enjoy your two extra days of free time until you come back to the another fun week of school!

Didn't she do a great job? I am so proud of my students. They have been excellent listeners and collaborators. Our student blogger, Sophia, also put together the pictures above. Amazing work from all our students!

Parents, if you are not hooked up with SeeSaw, ask to see your child's account.  We recorded our presentations for you! Check your email for the parent link. Many of you will also soon receive a link to hook up with your child's Google classroom, if you wish. You will receive a weekly email update if you choose to do so. 

We completed our mid-unit assessment in ELA and we will be using this data to determine our CI goal as a 6th grade ELA team. I believe we are going to work on citing evidence - making sure to quote and add our own thinking. It's a great skill!
