Today the students celebrated the end of the year. Due to the weather, we stayed at school and did fun activities.
At this point, grades are completely updated based on everything I have received and I have submitted them.
Enjoy the last school night!
In Language Arts today the students watched the movie version of The Giver. While watching, the students were given the entire class period to work on their Instagram Activity and turn it in. This is the only assignment I have left to grade and then grades will be updated. I will be turning in grades for report cards tomorrow.
Have a wonderful Wednesday!
During school today, our team of sixth graders went on an ice skating trip. It was an enjoyable trip and I believe the students had a positive experience. For some, this was their first time ever ice skating!
I am in the process of updating grades. I have included the last quiz score for The Giver with the exception of students who were absent. I have also graded all of the ISNs I have received from Block One and I am almost half way through Blocks Two and Three. I should definitely be finished with grades tomorrow before the end of the day.
Don’t forget we are watching The Giver in class tomorrow. This movie is PG-13 because of the “release” scene. Therefore, students will need a signed permission slip to be able to watch the movie. If students do not bring a permission slip to class, they will not be allowed to watch it.
Have a great evening!
In Language Arts today the students took their final quiz on The Giver and turned in their interactive notebooks to be graded. I have three grades left to put in the system. My goal is to have grades updated by Wednesday evening. I will send a Remind and post to the blog when they are finalized.
Don’t forget tomorrow is our field trip. We will be ice skating so make sure to bring a jacket. Lunch is not provided so you must pack your own!
Homework:
Today in Language Arts the students reviewed chapters 19 through 23 of The Giver. If the students didn’t finish characterizing Jonas after he becomes Receive of Memory, identifying themes in the story, and the anticipation guide post-reading reflection, it was assigned as homework.
The students also need to finish organizing their ISN if they did not finish in class. I will be collecting these on Monday at the beginning of class to grade them.
Lastly, we will be taking our final quiz on chapters 19 through 23 of The Giver on Monday. Books that were borrowed from the school or classroom library MUST be turned in after the quiz or students WILL NOT be allowed to go to Levagood on Thursday.
I have attached a list of everything that needs to be included in students interactive notebooks.
Have a great weekend!
Homework:
End of Year ISN Check Checklist
In Language Arts today the students finished reading The Giver. We will be taking our final quiz on chapters 19-23 on Monday. If a copy of the novel was borrowed from the school library or classroom, those must be returned on Monday. Remember, any student with a missing book WILL NOT be allowed to go to Levagood.
With the remainder of our class time, the students finished looking for figurative language in The Giver, they finished their pyramid of action, and worked on the guided questions for chapters 19 through 23. Anything that was not completed in class was assigned as homework.
Have a great evening!
Homework:
In Language Arts today the students read the climax of The Giver. We also completed our Milestones Chart. If this was not done in class, it was assigned as homework.
At this point, grades are completely updated based on what I have received. Remember, all late work is due Friday.
Have a great break!

They also spent time in class working on their Read Theory and One-Pagers 7 and 8.
Lastly, the students were assigned chapters 16-18 of The Giver to read and respond to. These are the last chapters in the rising action so students should have updated their pyramid too. They were given time in class to work on this but if they did not finish, it was assigned as homework.
Have a great evening! Don’t forget all Read Theory for the year is due tomorrow. I WILL NOT be accepting any Read Theory after 3:05 pm tomorrow!
Homework:

The students also spent time reviewing chapters 9-15 of The Giver. We will be taking our quiz on these chapters tomorrow. Students can use their book on the quiz as a reference.
Lastly, the students participated in a Memory Transmission Activity where key moments from our world history were described and they had to determine what it was. They also spent time reflecting on whether or not this memory was important and how the memory portrays humans.
Have a great evening!
Homework:
In Language Arts today the students were given time to work on their Read Theory, catch up on The Giver, and work on their one-pagers.
The students also worked in literature circles today. While in their circles, the students discussed chapter 12, read chapters 13 through 15, and answered the chapters 13 through 15 guided questions. Then, they updated the rising action of their pyramid of action.
If any of the items they worked on in class were not completed, it was assigned as homework.
Remember, Read Theory is due FRIDAY. I will not be assigning or grading any Read Theory after Friday, May 31st at 3:05pm.
Have a great evening!
