Drums and "Slip or Trip?"
Students have also been doing a great job on our "Slip or Trip?" lesson. We started off working in groups examining a crime scene to identify evidence that will help us to form arguments. We will be finishing our final arguments on Monday.

Off and Running
These first two days have been a fantastic start to the school year. It is always entertaining to watch 6th graders in such a brand new environment for them. Here is some quick information about my blog:
We have talked about how I want my students to take risks and fight through struggles that they have in facing the challenges that they are presented head-on. A positive learning environment is a vital part of that.
Our first unit will be focusing on using evidence to develop arguments. We will be reading the book Drums, Girls, and Dangerous Pie as part of the unit. Below is a trailer for the book (a movie wasn't really made based on the book)
- I will update it every couple of days
- My posts will give a quick summary of what we are doing in class. This helps students who are out sick and ensures that when parents ask what their kid what they did in class, they can't say "ummm, nothing."
- I will also post review material, extensions of what we have learned, or other things that I think are cool or funny.
- When we have assigned reading for homework, I will always try to record and post the chapter on the blog. I started doing this last year, and it ended up being a great tool for kids. Just please make sure that they have their book in hand and are reading along with the recording, I will tell them this over and over!
