Christmas Is A-Coming!
Christmas Story:
The Grade Six classes are working on writing/editing/proofreading a story with a Christmas connection...a Christmas setting, characters or somehow Christmas figures in the sequence of events of the story. We have been working on this in computer class, but students may work on it at home...(they may email it home to work on).
Christmas Wish List:
Grade Six students are working on composing a Christmas Wish List, with explanations/ reasons
The Christmas Wish List has two parts: Gifts I Really Want and Deserve for Christmas and
Gifts I Would Really Like to Give for Christmas
We set a limit of 10 gifts on each list. Five may be "material things" and five should be "intangible" gifts. On the second list, they should specifiy to whom the gift will be given and why.
I am looking for some imaginative, thoughtful, persuasive writing.
We hope to share some of these stories and lists aloud and have all handed in by Friday morning(21st).

Christmas Concert Preparations...
The Grade Six students are very busy these days in Language and Music classes, preparing for the Christmas Concert that is fast approaching on Thursday, December 13th. Of course, the Grade Sixes have the character roles and speaking parts of the play and this year our play is entitled Christmas in the Country. We are spending a lot of our class time learning new songs, memorizing lines and even doing a little dancing!
The Concert play has a definite 'western-country' atmosphere and our Grade 6 characters will need to dress Western...so we ask your help with costuming, props, and set. Do you have any western duds ( hats, shirts, etc) lariats, etc. that you could lend to us for the concert? Also, we have some typical farm animal characters: sheep, pig and a cow. If you have any costumes that could pass for these animals, please send them along as well.
Thanks! It looks to be a great concert, with lots of great singing and acting from all the classes in the school. See you there!

October Going Fast!
October seems to have whipped right by us like the wind we somedays have.
Anyway, in Language Arts we have been working on these areas/ skills:
Reading: Using the Reader's Workshop concept we have been reading novels chosen by the students, responding to each chapter by writing in Response Logs, and discussing the elements of narrative fiction. We are now moving on to a whole class novel study.
We have just begun our Novel Study using the novel, "Maniac Magee." Title pages are due Monday, 22nd.
Reading Comprehension: Each week we read a couple of reading selections drawn from narrative, factual articles, cartoons, recipes, etc. and answer multiple choice questions that test comprehension of these passages.
Writing: We are working on improving our skills of descriptive writing: The first draft of a description of a celebration meal will be due Wednesday, 24th.
Sentence Combining; Each week we try to work on improving our composing of good sentences by doing sentence combining exercises: Next week we will be working on "Goal" and "Fish Story" due by Monday, 29th.
Spelling: There will be a new spelling word list and unit work for Units 4 and 5.
