Study Skills

In Study Skills we  are getting ready to start our unit on "Developing Good Study Habits". We will be discussing what conditions make it hard to concentrate, and how to fix it.  We will talk about tips on concentration as well as track where our time goes throughout the week. Tracking time will help student to see where their time is going, and where more time needs to spent.

Math

In math we are learning about the different ways to graph data. We made foldables yesterday in class to reinforce what we had learned. Next week we will begin our review of chapter 6 and have our test.

 In Creative Living we finished our monsters. They turned out great!!!!! They are being displayed in the hallway in front of Patton/Busch classroom.
We have started on our magazine rosary. Brianna (the youth director of St. Anne's) is coming to talk to our class tuesday. She is going to tell us about the history of the rosary.  All of our students know how to pray the rosary, but many do not know the history of the rosary.

6th Grade Math






In math we continue working in chapter 5.
We are starting our unit on Regrouping to subtract mixed numbers.

Study Skills




In Study Skills we are striving to turn in any missing assignments.  As a class, the students have decided that if they have any missing assignments, they will spend recess and lunch "bonding" with me.
