We've had a great week! We covered the Great Depression this week in our time together. We discussed the causes that led to the Great Depression. We talked about Presidents Hoover and Roosevelt and what life was like for so many people during this time. We will have a review day on Monday and then an open book test over this chapter on Tuesday next week. We also had a researh day this week. Students should be continuing to gather research on their influential American. They are keeping track of their facts and their websites on a document in Google Classroom. This is leading to a project, but right now, they are only gathering facts. They should be looking for a few facts about the person's childhood and early life, but need to focus mostly on their adult life and the impact they made. We will have occasional days in class to do research before I assign the project in January. Please let me know what questions you have. Go Bucks!! God bless!

6th Grade

It's been a good week! We finished up our discussion on ancient Israel this week and then students began working on a project that will count as their test grade over Israel. They are using the website canva.com to create a travel brochure for ancient Israel. All of the guidelines are in Google Classroom. The due date is January 7 (the Wednesday after we return from break). Students have already had two days in class to work on this and will have four class periods next week as well as the Tuesday and Wednesday when we get back from break. I did not extend the due date over Christmas break so that students will have to work over break. They should not have to work on it at all during break if they are using their time wisely in class before break. I just didn't think assigning it this week and making it due next week would give them quite enough time, so I made the due date after break. Also, last year our Christmas break was extended by two days because of snow. Please know that if that should happen again this year, I will extend the due date for the project. Have a great weekend. Go Bucks!! God bless!
