Buniewicz Classroom News - 2/15
Mr. Buniewicz's 5th and 6th Grade Newsletter
Thank you for taking a look at this week's newsletter. This coming week is a big one with History Day on Wednesday and no school on Friday. As always, work folders went home today. Please take a look in the folders to see if your student has some catching up to do!
History Day - Wednesday 2/20
History Day is almost here! Students will present their videos, presentations, exhibits, and websites at the school. Please come to the school library at 10:30 AM on Wednesday to take in the students' hard work. Everyone is invited!
Last Week Overview
This has been a busy week. We have spent time every single day working on History Day projects, trying to take them to the finish line. This project has been challenging for students and I am proud of all of their struggles, perseverance, and successes. I can't wait to have the students show off all their hard work next Wednesday! Hope to see you all there!
In addition to History Day, we continued to work on reading and writing skills through the Wonders series. As you can see with some pictures below, students suggested to change up the routine, so we had some fun with it.
Wonders
Students suggested that we change things up when it comes to our Wonders work. In lieu of a written assignment, the 6th graders played a game based on the week's main story.
Important Discussion
The class had a serious discussion, first in class and then again with Miss Christensen, about the use of several words that teachers had overheard students using, such as the words retard and autistic used as insults.
Vocabulary
Instead of our normal vocab writing, students had the role as teacher, teaching the rest of the class the meaning and usage of the week's vocab words.
