Sixth Grade Humanities

Homework has been light the last week or two. We are tying up some loose ends as we close out the marking period, complete assessments, and finish our research and writing projects. Please encourage your children to be reading 20-30 minutes per night at home.

Students have done some reading and research in class about an explorer. In the next two days, they will write a summary/short report about their explorer to present to the class next week. The written piece will be due at the end of class on Friday. Some students may opt to do their publishing at home. Their project may be hand written or typed. It must include the five W's, including the explorer's motive for exploration, and a reference list that identifies sources used.
