Mr. Sassman's 6th Grade Class Blog
Woodriver Elementary School
Last week was a bit crazy...Band, orchestra, and chorus concerts, a field trip, and a class party, oh my! The kids did an excellent job and it was a pleasure watching the performances.
If you haven't already, please send in $6 with your child for our visit to the Hap Ryder Riverfront Theater last week. We saw the play Narnia: The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe. One of our own (a student in our class) performed in the show, and he did great.
Last week, I sent home a letter and sign up sheet on Friday about the annual 6th grade "Family Traditions Feast." On Wednesday, December 19th, 2018, all three sixth grade classes will host a family traditions feast from 11 - 12 pm in the MPR. The purpose is to recognize and celebrate students' cultures and family traditions. We ask that every student brings one specific food item. The food should be enough to feed 6-8 people. Ideally, the students will make the items at home and parents will help as needed. The students should write a half-page summary of the item's history and they will present this in class.
Two weeks until winter break and we have some work to get through. We are plugging away with biography book report presentations and To Do List items. This week we will continue our work and I have a couple of enrichment projects underway for the students that are done.
From Mr. Ribbens:
Monday looks like:
Hello, this is Mr. Ribbens,
Two weeks ago, as part of my teaching program at UAF, I had the opportunity to teach ELA all week. I began to read “A Single Shard” for read-a-loud and students also had multiple sessions of independent reading. We wrote a short fictional narrative focussing on descriptive detail. Last week we reviewed figurative language, specifically hyperbole and personification. Students had opportunities to continue work on their biography book reports and persuasive essays. I am continually grateful that I was assigned to such a great group of students for my internship!
