Today I posted the first grades of the year! Please don't be worried if your child does not have an "A", there is plenty of time for grades to improve.
Tomorrow, we will be correcting pages 7 and 8 from the atlas booklet. Time was given today for the kids to work on the assignment, and I strongly recommended that those kids who were not done come to the room tomorrow during lunch to complete the assignment.
This work is not difficult, but it does require the kids to read CAREFULLY and FOLLOW DIRECTIONS. These are skills that are still developing is many Sixth Graders, and this is the perfect time to get those skills perfected. Working in an atlas is all about reading informational text, understanding what has been read, and applying the skills. Many kids want to rush through the work and miss important cues. I am convinced, however, that everyone will be successful in no time!
Thanks,
Cathy
