6th Grade Weekly Update - April 21st-27th
A not so normal week for me at least this week.
- I will be gone Tuesday. (Medical reasonings, not abandonment) Mrs. Noegel will be in for me.
- I will be gone Thursday, Friday, and Monday the 29th while being in Washington DC. Mrs. Thiede will be in for me.
Everything else for 6th grade will hopefully be normal and go smoothly!

English
In Writer’s Workshop, we will begin drafting our Historical Fiction children’s stories. Our goal is to intertwine real, historical details as we show our developed characters’ and their experiences. We have begun working with morphology - the study of word parts and their meanings - to aid us in our reading and vocabulary.

PE
Welcome back to PE! We have some great activities planned this year.
Reading
This week, we will follow along with the Weird Watsons as they spend some time in Birmingham, Alabama. Since we will be reading about the 16th Street Church Bombing that took place in 1963, we will be using our historical fiction strategy of using real photos, videos, and interviews to learn more about the real event. We will also review strategies about the impact that settings can have on characters and how they act/treat others.
Religion
April 22-26: This week we look at the Bible stories of healing the lame man, the apostles before the council, the apostles in prison, and the persecution of the early church. Memory this week is 2 Corinthians 5:14-15, ESV wording, and is due Thursday. Sermon note #6 is due Monday, May 13.
