Egypt Day 2014

Sorry, some of the photos came out blurry. I guess those are the pitfalls of using an iPhone in a dark room. The link below also has some higher quality pictures courtesy of Emily Williamson.

3D Egyptian Scale Models


In math, we reviewed scale models and how to use a scale model with proportions. After re-mastering the concept, we applied our knowledge of map/2D scales to now 3D scale models! And what better way then making 3D scale models of some Egyptian objects we've been studying in Humanities! Check us out below practicing and our final products!

Pobre Ana & Patricia va a California

Sixth grade students began the year by reading one of two novels by Blaine Ray. One group is reading Pobre Ana and the other group is reading Patricia va a California. Both are short novels written in the present tense which also include the cultures of Mexico and Guatemala. We are reading the novels together in class, acting out scenes in the chapter and conducting chapter chats. By doing so, it helps reinforce the grammatical structures and vocabulary learned in each chapter. Below are some pictures of the students acting out scenes from Patricia va a California as well as learning to dance la cumbia, which is something Ana learns how to do in the novel, Pobre Ana.
