Team Enterprise, along with all other sixth grade classes, received their new novel today called Bud, Not Buddy by Christopher Paul Curtis. We are very excited to begin this story! After having practiced our McD's Cafe roles on a short story, we were ready to receive the first for this novel. The students couldn't wait to open their books!
In addition to our new novels, we learned about some new words that will be a part of April's Mud, a short story we'll be reading tomorrow. This story is about a girl named April who lives in a converted school bus while her family builds a home out of adobe - dried mud. She sometimes feels embarrassed about her family's lifestyle. Tomorrow, when we read, we'll see how April's feelings change. As we read, we'll be looking for cause/effect relationships in the story.
In Social Studies, our team was out to prove what they knew about maps! We took our Chapter 1 test today, and if you had walked into our room, you would have smelled the wood burning!
In Math today, the students collaborated in groups to match examples of the different Properties of Addition and Multiplication. The groups creatively came up with ways to distinguish the different properties.
Rock on! The Science classes were introduced to the three types of rocks. Our first lab will surround information about the igneous rocks. Mrs. Haddox encouraged the students to bring in rock samples...and even their pet rocks...for display in the back of the room. Maybe it is a start of a Rock Museum?
