โ๏ธ January Class Spotlight โ๏ธ
6th Grade - Mrs. Wright and Mrs. Schiltz
The sixth graders have busy since school resumed after winter break.
Reading: Both classes are reading novels during reading instruction. The students apply the reading skills they have learned through discussion, analysis and written responses.
Math: Coordinate plane graphing has been the focus so far by learning to identify, locate and plot points in all four quadrants. Practice has been completed to gain understanding in the interpretation of points and their locations. Understanding the concept of rates and ratios is the next unit of study.
Science: The students continue to work on understanding phenomenons that occur in weather and water. Most recently the classes investigated to gain understanding of the energy transfer that takes place through radiation.
Social Studies: Students have just begun a world country research project. Each student selected a country to research outside of the United States. This project will last approximately two to three weeks.
