NATIVE CULTURE PROJECT DUE NOV. 1
Don't forget, you have a Native Culture Project due at school on Friday, November 1st. Your project can be anything you choose representing your selected culture. You must also submit a written report explaining your project. This is always an exciting time in room 6. The sharing of research & projects allows everyone to explore many cultures. I hope to post photos of some projects during November. I have posted some kid friendly native cultures links in the social studies section. See you Monday! :)
What's Happening in room 6???
Our science walk was very fun. Donna found a lottery ticket. Also working with first graders is awesome.
On Wednesday we walked to Amazon Creek and I was in a group with only 5th grade girls. We picked up a lot of trash and we were exploring the creek.
This week our class went to Amazon Creek to collect the water to test the salinity. We also found a bunch of trash which was sad to see there. It was also a good day to go there because it was sunny and not rainy like it always is!!!
Last Wednesday, our class went to Amazon creek and studied it for the second week in a row. We split into three groups, one to look at human impact at the creek, one to look at the animals near the creek, and one to look at the water in the creek. There were lots of animals near the creek including Mallards.
On Wednesday 23rd of October 2013, we walked to Amazon Creek with my mom and the 2010, teacher of the year Donna DuBois. She is my aunt . We had an awesome day there. We picked up trash to help the environment. We found a lot of trash at Amazon and we called the trash negative human impact.
This week my favorite day at school was writing with the first graders . It was AWESOME
I think that reading to first graders is really fun and helping them write is great too.
We drew scientific drawings of a picture of a killifish.

Welcome to 2013 - 2014 School Year!
Hi Families and Students,
Perhaps this will be the year I keep up with this blog. I am hoping to have students post things we are doing in class. To start, I have comments from October in room 6. Actually, we have spent a good part of October outside of room 6. We are doing things such as partnering with a first grade class to work on reading and writing. We are also getting outside and visiting our local Amazon Creek. Here we are conducting water quality analysis, observing nature, and doing some community clean up in the area. When the sun shines, you will likely find us walking to the creek to do real world scientific work.
In class our big Native Cultures Project and Research Paper is due this Friday. I hope parents and students alike are learning a lot together! Have a wonderful week, ~Ms. D
