6th Grade

 

            Have you been wondering what’s been happening in 6th grade?  Well look no further.  Let’s dive into Quarter 1 and 2. Do you like science?  Well we’ve done some pretty cool labs!  We’ve done bubble gum, pennies and measuring liquids to be exact.  In math we’ve done some cool projects including measuring our height and comparing it to those of our group members.  We also did a project where we fit gifts into a box.  After, we wrote the total price of our gifts and what we could send.  In social we have been exploring Ancient Egypt!  We had the chance to learn about Hieroglyphics and then write in them!  Also earlier in the year we made time line line’s of our lives.  These projects were so much fun!  ELA has been a blast.  We wrote stories about building character and an adventure with King Tut.  But not only did we write them, some of us read them to elementary children!  Right now we are working on literary circle groups.  In reading we’ve had our nose in some good books!  One of which is called the Castle in the Attic, we are making medieval shields with signs on them that represent ourselves or family.

 

            That about covers our main subjects but what about music, gym, and art?  Well, in music we are mastering the recorder! In art we drew 1 Point Perspective pictures that are now hanging in the hall.  In computer s we made power point slide shows titled All About Me.  Home and careers has been cooking up some fun with pumpkin and apple pie, and of course some other different recipes.  In gym we have done soccer, football, basketball, floor hockey, and now volleyball.  These exhilarating sports are so much fun!  But did you here our winter concert for band and chorus?  It was super!  As was our field trips, one of which where we went to see The Secret Garden.  Well this sadly ends our journey into 6th grade!  But don’t worry they’ll be more fun things to come!

7th Grade

 

            The 7th Grade is full of exciting projects and reports that students will have to do for every class.

 

            In 7th Grade Technology, you will build a bridge made of wood.  Then the bridge is built, it will be tested to see how much weight the bridge holds.  In 7th Grade Art, you will make a 2-D collage, a negative-positive self-portrait and an abstract sculpture based on you favorite sculptor or sculptress.  In 7th Grade Home Economics, all students learn to sew.  You sew your own winter hat, a potholder of wall hanging and a pincushion.  In 7th Grade Music, you’ll learn how to play the piano, listen to a student’s suggested son every Friday and you will have a listening log.  In Health, you will learn about yourself and about CPR.  In Science, you will do the famed Leaf Project.  A lot of your Science grade will depend on this outdoor project.  In math class, there is a project each quarter.  The biggest one is probably the M&M report.  In Social Studies you will have to read a historical fiction book and write a book report about it every quarter.  In English you will learn about grammar and later write stories or personal narratives.
