Last week was a very full week of work. This week will be also as we complete our Book club books!

We will choose the last 2 vocabulary words in book clubs Tuesday. Folders should come home to study.
Book club vocabulary word test- Friday
Book club book test - Friday
Spelling words assigned Tuesday - due Wednesday on Google classroom
Mentor Sentence assignments - due Thursday, Writer's notebook
Language Arts: Literature: We are at the end of Book clubs! This week each group will finish reading their book. On Monday we will write a journal in class. It is due Tuesday. We will use those journals to do a graded class discussion. Groups will choose their final vocabulary words, and the folders should come home to study the words. I recommend making the words into flashcards or Quizlet.
After Friday's tests, we will take a couple days to work on a group project. Each group will make a book trailer for the book they read.
We will then get ready to begin our next class book.
Spelling/Grammar: We are choosing new spelling words on Tuesday. Again, your child's complete word list will be on Google classroom under English. The word list is due on Wednesday, so that I can check it. The test will be next Thursday, Nov. 16.
We spent a lot of time on grammar last week. We took a test over sentences on Friday. We worked through the test together. We also worked through a Mentor sentence. This week we will have another mentor sentence. The work will be done in the Writer's notebook and due on Thursday.
Writing: We had an awesome Author's celebration on Friday. Thank you to those of you that sent in a treat. We had food, and moved around reading as many stories as possible. Comments about the stories were put on a sheet for each student. This week we will begin talking about how to write a research report.
Social Studies: We have finished hearing about the 8 explorers and taking notes on each of them. The test is Monday. Students will be able to use their note taking page about the explorers in their workbook. They will not be able to use their book and study guide. There were a few questions on the study guide that are most likely not in their notes, so they should look over those. They may choose to take their workbook page, and re-write the information there, in a different form that is easier for them to use. That is up to them.
Each student will be assigned to one of the explorers to research. This is an independent project. The directions will be posted on this blog under Social studies and on Google classroom. We will work on this project in Genius hour, writing and some social studies time.

6th Grade Literature: We are also ending book clubs this week!
Monday/Tuesday of this week groups will be choosing their last vocabulary words. Then each student should bring his/her folder home and begin studying the words for the test. I recommend that they make flashcards or use Quizlet to study.
Also on this day, students will be assigned to write the last reflection journal for the book. It is due the next class period and will receive a late grade if it is not turned in on time. The assignment will be on Google classroom.
All chapters should be read by the end of the week. A-day classes will take the test on Friday,11/10 and B-day classes will take the test Monday, 11/13.
There will be a final group project completed in class, and each student will have a Book critique assignment on Google classroom to complete on their own. Those will be next week.
We will be studying Theme/Plot and figurative language through this project.
We will begin our next class book sometime next week.
