6th Grade Overview By: Megan

Science- My highlight from science this year is the space unit. I liked this unit because we learned almost the entire book ourselves in project form. I think our game board could have turned out much better, but the group put a lot of effort into it. Language Arts- The best thing about L.A. this year is when we learned about figurative language. I think I improved a lot in that category, especially because I wasn’t very good to start. Social Studies- My favorite time during Social Studies is when we learned about Ancient China. It was a lot of fun because I really understood what happened, when in the other units I didn’t really know what was going on half the time. I still really liked it, and it made me appreciate Social Studies a lot more. Math- The thing I will remember most about math this year is the School Dance Project. It was fun because we could go out and add anything that we wanted, like Disco Balls, streamers, DJ’s, and more. Also, we had to add revenue. My group of Janie and Annika made $2,465.15. Everyone else made around $500, so we blew them out of the water. The best memory about our class is when we went to Chicago. We went to the Museum of Science and Industry, and we were able to go wherever we wanted throughout the building. The coolest thing that my group did was making key chains. We used a computer program to decorate the plastic, and then we saved it to the computer. Then, Matt (person who ran the station) printed it onto plastic. Mine is hanging from my backpack, and it looks really cool. I know that I am going to miss this class’s sense of humor. We can always make someone laugh. Sure, it might not be at the right time, but we still tend to do it every 45 seconds. And yes, the joke might not be as adults would refer to as ‘appropriate’, but it still gets a kick out of everyone.
