CLASS UPDATE
Science Projects are due: Wednesday, February 18th. Our class will tour the fair on the 19th. Students in our class who finished their projects will share them with the class the week of Feb 23-27th.
ELA Update-We are starting a new book, Crispin, which is a medieval adventure that takes place in England. There will be comprehension and vocabulary activities.
Writing-Room 20 is starting to Revise/Edit our Informational Writes with partners using the grading rubrics, which will be handed out Tuesday.
Math-We will finish Chapter 9 on Statistics this week focusing on Mean Absolute Deviation "MAD"
History-We resume our focus on the last unit with the Egyptians Week 13 in Studies Weekly
Geography-We are finishing up the US States and Capitals map this week.
Attendance/Tardies-We have had students habitually showing up late to class. It is disruptive and I'm trying to get my 6th grade crew ready for life. Showing up late to work frequently, leads to getting fired. Please help team up with me in this regard. Some students/parents do not like their children writing a "Bart Simpson" activity so the 6th graders came up with some creative alternative consequences for the students that continue to do so. When tardy they will draw a consequence from the Covercraft rainbow hat. I am genuinely curious if this will make a difference.
Thank you so much for your thoughtful gifts for my birthday. 53 is looking good so far!

Welcome back to school in 2025!
I truly hope everybody had a memorable, restful, and meaningful extended break with family and loved ones. A huge thank you for the thoughtful and kind gifts I received for the holidays. I had a really nice date with my wife at Hideout over the break.
Here is a quick update about much of the exciting learning happening in Room 20:
This week our class will begin learning about the Ancient Egyptians in History. If you have any unique things you learned, youtube clips, or fascinating articles, please do share.
In Geography we are finishing up our Europe Maps.
In writing, we are starting our Informational Writing by gathering ideas and choosing a topic this week.
In math we resume Chapter 7 focusing on Inequalities.
We are starting a new unit in ELA reading Tuck Everlasting, which explores the theme of immortality and it's potential pros and cons.
Our Field Trip to Rosicrucian Egyptian Museum is coming on Friday, February 6th, so I will check with the office to see which drivers have all of the paperwork filled out.
Finally, I am reading aloud to the class about Martin Luther King Jr.’s abundant life in celebration of his holiday. We are also looking up quotes and watching two of his significant speeches followed by journaling and deep discussions.
Let me know if you have any questions as we launch together into 2026.
