Make sure to look at the right of the website for all of the exciting upcoming events at Rio for your 6th grader. We have 8 weeks left before summer break so let's finish strong our elementary school experience.

Here is a brief snapshot of learning in Room 20:

In ELA we are launching into Anne of Green Gables, an amazing novel to finish the year. There will be corresponding vocabulary and comprehension activities to deepen our understanding of the story.

In Math we will commence our learning about Surface Area of Geometrical Shapes in Chapter 7 in Big Ideas Math.

We are launching our Argumentative Essay with quotes, research and elaboration supporting our claim with 3 reasons.

In History we are learning about the 7 Ancient and Modern Wonders of the World along with week 31 in Studies Weekly about the Rise of Christianity along with review of the Israelites Celebration of Passover. This will be followed by the fun and engaging Unit about Ancient Greece.

The learning journey continues for 8 more weeks so let's make them count!
