I'm so excited to have this great group of students in both Language Arts and Social Studies this year,.
I try to update this blog most weekends, with a look forward to the upcoming week's learning.
Our first four days have been focused on teaching routines and expectations for new 6th Graders. Next week we'll begin our regular class schedules and normal content classes.
Language Arts -
This week we'll be diving into some reading and writing. We're going to be setting up our Interactive Writer's Notebooks (IRWIN) and begin some Journaling in our notebooks. We'll also work on some grammar, and begin reading some short stories and strategies for marking and interacting with a text.
Social Studies -
We're going to learn about the 5 themes of Social Studies, and begin our examination early cultures by learning how and why humans transitioned from hunter gatherers into farmers.
