Happy Monday!!
I know it's Monday, but at least the sun is shining!!
Today, the students started a new week of "Question of the Day" which will serve as a review of the vocabulary from Chapter 3. We are trying to help the kids understand the essence of each vocabulary word, not just the "book definition". These are terms that they will encounter in 7th Grade, too, so really understanding the terms now will serve them well in the future.
Ms Lytle is showing the students pictures of families from different cultures with a week's worth of groceries, and what the family spends on their groceries. It's an eye-opening experience for the kids to see how much, or how little, food is purchase by each family. The appearance of American food is interesting for them, too. We will continue to look at a few families each day this week.
There is no homework today; we are continuing to read Chapter 3. Tomorrow, I think we will be in Section 2-Economic Systems :-)
