Mr. Sassman's 6th Grade Class Blog
Woodriver Elementary School
First and foremost, THANK YOU very much for the cards, candies, and gifts before the break. I am so lucky to have a great group of kiddos and this is a direct reflection of their lives and families at home. I hope you had a nice and restful holiday season and are ready to send your students back to school. We have a rather ambitious agenda for the second half of the year and just like the first semester, it will be over in a blink.
The first week back will be a short one, however, we have already started some of our third quarter assignments, so the kids will hit the ground running with their Super Hero Fictional Narratives. We will also be starting Expository Writing this quarter, where kids will choose to write a book about something they are an expert on. We will then publish both pieces in individual books for the kids to keep.
For reading, we will have a class novel, a read aloud, literacy circles, and the kids should have an SSR book. In short, each student will be engaged in four different books in four different ways this quarter.
"S" groups will continue this quarter. I will be teaching the students about Ancient Rome, while Mr. Kinder will go through Ancient Greece, and Mrs. Clark will take charge of the science curriculum.
