Inch and Miles: The Journey to Success


 











Fun things are happening in sixth grade in the third quarter!  Students are working hard learning and demonstrating their understanding what it takes to be successful.  Students have been reading about the Inch and Miles: The Journey to Success over the last few weeks and have created Reverso poems, visuals, and comic strips for each of the steps. 
 

In the upcoming weeks, students will dive into a HUGE research project where they will research and present information on a person from the American Revolution or an influential scientist.  Sixth graders are eager to learn how to use different modes of technology for research or presentation purposes.  We can't wait to see their presentations! 
 
 
Students in Ms. Large's class have been working on Document- Based Questioning assignment investigating the causes of death in colonial Jamestown.  Students in Ms. Large's class have been working on Document- Based Questioning assignment investigating the causes of death in colonial Jamestown.
