Happy Thanksgiving

6B learned all about Pilgrims and Native Americans to prepare for our Thanksgiving play.

Partnership With Mrs. Kamp's Sixth Grade Advisory

This past Thursday 6-B partnered with new buddies, Mrs. Kamp's Sixth Grade Advisory group! We were so excited to travel all the way over to the middle school for a Thanksgiving activity. 6-B students were partnered up with the middle school girls to discuss what we are thankful for this year. The older girls wrote down our thoughts on leaves and helped us make "trees of thanks".

We all had the opportunity to enjoy a snack together and chat together after our craft was finished. What a wonderful experience. Thank you Mrs. Kamp! We can't wait to meet with you and your advisory again in January!

Head on over to Mrs. Kamp's blog to see her post on our time together.

Directional Tracking Can be Fun!

Tracking the words from left to right as you read is very important. Physically using your finger to follow under the words you are reading helps students to keep their place. Additionally, it encourages the child to notice all of the sounds in each individual word. Tracking was fun because we were able to use witch fingers! As we read aloud everyone was able to follow (whether they were reading aloud, or following along). How much fun!
