It's a short week!!!

*Please note, this Friday is a PD day therefore the students do not have school! Enjoy your long weekend!!!

For the past 2 weeks or so we have been working on our Tales: Heroes, Deeds and Wonders unit. The students have defined what a myth is and have read many examples from a variety of countries. They are also working on writing their own myths. We will have a little bit more time this week and then the myths will be due. The students have been so creative and I am very excited to read them!

Students are also working on a project which they are designing themselves. In pairs or small groups they read a selection titled "The River that Went to the Sky". As they read through they had to identify ear appealing phrases as well as phrases that create images. They will use these identified phrases to create a simplified sequence of events. They are in the planning stages right now and the due date has yet to be determined.

Please remind your child (only grade 6 English for this week) to practice the spelling and vocabulary words we identified last week. This week's test will be on Thursday.

The words are: universal, awakened, disturbed, instrument, survivor, threatened, desperate, fascinating, destroyed and associated.

Let's have a great week!!!
