Extreme Environment Travel Adventure



Would you like to take a vacation to an extreme environment?  You could visit a polar region, explore a deep sea trench, discover the desert or spend the week in a cave.  The students of 6B have become travel agents, and they are getting ready to show their classmates why their location would be an ideal adventure vacation destination!  The students are creating travel brochures, packing lists, and maps that will provide travelers with all of the information needed for an exciting holiday!  I'm looking forward to hearing their presentations next week.

6B Presents...

The students of 6B will be leading the middle school Chapel tomorrow.  Here is a little sneak peak of what has been taking place in our classroom over the last couple of weeks.  These photos were taken of just a few of the many things that have been added to our growing collection of props and costumes.  The Chapel will be from 9:45 - 10:20 on Friday morning.  We'd love to have you join us!

 
It's so much fun getting ready for the Chapel, because people get to bring things and pretend that they are selling it.  I'm really excited for it! - Steven

Splashing Up Some Fun!

On Friday, MRC was filled with over 60 grade students splashing and laughing in the water.  The students had a great time swimming, diving, sliding, and of course enjoying the waves.  The only complaint was that they wanted more time at the pool!





Some highlights from the students:

"It was fun to go with all three classes and enjoy being with all our friends." - Conner

"I did about 10 belly flops, and my stomach hurt." - Liam

Happy New Year!

It is great to be back with 6B today!  The students had numerous stories about their holiday adventures.  Although some of us are on the tired side today, it was still a very productive day!  We began preparations for our class chapel coming up next Friday, as well as beginning a new novel study and a new math unit.

In Math this week, we will be learning all about input and output machines.  We decided that it would be great to input broccoli and output chocolate cake.  But then we needed to input the chocolate cake and output the cake with whipping cream and cherries!  Some of the students also enjoyed drawing the some very detailed input output machines.  It looks like it will be a fun week in Math!
