So far in 6th grade I have learned alot. In Social Studies I have learned about Mesopotamia and what all the little facts are and what we already know. About Mesopotamia we have learned that its nickname is the "Fertile Crescent" and that the people their are very into farming. Also the soil there is very rich because their are two rivers bordering Mesopotamia and so it floods into the farming area. We have done alot of fun activities and one of them are writing an essay and it is very fun.
In math we have been learning about decimals but this week will be our first lesson with the decimals. Last unit we have done geometry witch is my favorite thing do in math. last week we had done our test. It was kinda hard for me but also kinda easy. I am very confident that I have done very well on the test. I wouldn't be able do it without Mrs. O'Hern she is a very nice teacher and has helped me with alot of things. I really like math.
In Science we have done a project on your favorite biome. I have done mine on a grassland and it has been very fun doing the project. I have learned that there is various animals such as lions, tigers, buffalo, bison and zebras. The varios plants I have learned in the grassland is the that there is the short grass, tall grass, and the perple coneflower. So far Science has been very fun and the learning has helped me alot.
In language Arts we have been doing WKCE practice tests. To me so far they are very challenging but I have been able to do them. We have done two Math, one reading with two stories and multiple choice questions. Also after we finish we read for about 20 minutes and then we go over the answers.
Therefore school has gone very well for me and it is starting to be kinda fun.

October By: Cali & Maggie
Math- This month in math we learned or reviewed on how to find area and perimeter of many different individual shapes. We also had a test about halfway through the quarter. When we were done we went over it and got to correct our tests.
Language Arts- this year in language arts we started our reading response logs. Those are for when we’re done reading our book for the day we right something that connects with your book with what you learned in class. We also learned about many ways to improve your writing and to keep a reader reading and not get bored with it, like starting with something startling or to start your passage with a question.
Science- We has finished up our biome projects. A biome is land that sets it apart from other areas. Examples are rainforest and desert. Now we are presenting our presentations to the class and learning about other biomes besides the one we did extensive research on. We’ve also been taught about biotic and abiotic factors of an ecosystem. Abiotic factors are non-living things in the ecosystem such as soil, water, light, and temperature. Biotic factors are living parts of an ecosystem like animals, trees, and plants.
Social Studies- In social studies we are continuing on the ancient civilization unit. Our civilization this month was ancient Mesopotamia. This is a civilization that is very much like our ancient Egypt unit. We are also using this unit to take a chance to compare the two civilizations and discover the differences and similarities.

October By: Seth
October was quite a different month from September in my opinion. Everybody is pretty close to being settled if not already settled in the flow of school. All the subjects are starting to pick up pace, which I like, because I like to work through things fast. I hope the year keeps getting better still as the year goes on.
In math I finished Pre-Algebra at the beginning of the month and I am very close to being done with Algebra. Math is really hard now as I start getting farther and farther. It is really fun now because I really have to work to get stuff done. My goal is to finish Algebra by the end of next week. I hope math keeps going the way it’s going because it’s really fun right now.
Spelling has certainly become more fun this month. We now have enrichment packets, which are more challenging and allow us to work at our own pace. This is really an improvement from what I thought of spelling last month. I thought spelling was going to be really slow pace but as the year goes on it gets harder and harder.
In social studies we finished up our Egypt Chapter, and took our final test. We have now started working on Mesopotamia, which I have never learned about, so it’s something new. We are writing compare and contrast stories of the Tigris and Euphrates rivers, and the Nile. So far, Social Studies has not disappointed.
Language Arts has been surprisingly fun this year compared to others. This year we get to read our own books, which was really a problem for me in the past, reading books I didn’t like. We also have started responding in our reading logs about things like our character’s flaw or the antagonist in our book. This is one of the only years I have really liked language arts
In Science we have been working and starting presenting our Best Biome project. We are pretty much trying to get Mrs. Fulfer to move to a different area in the world. This was really fun because we not only got to learn information about a certain biome but we got to use our imaginations to persuade Mrs. Fulfer to move. All in all, October has been really fun in all aspects of our school.

October By: Emily & Megan
In Math, we are doing ALEKS. We get to do a bunch of different topics whenever we want. It’s a lot of fun because you can work at your own pace and we are mastering a bunch of different things. We are all at our own level, so then no one is slacking or skipping ahead. Also, we are getting a lot of work time instead of trying to check homework the whole time.
In social studies, we are learning about the geography of Mesopotamia. Mesopotamia is an area of land where present day Iraq and Israel are. Mesopotamia has very fertile land and is located right off the coast of Africa, right by Egypt.
In FCE, we are just finishing up, and then we move on to Tech Ed. But we are almost done with our babysitting unit. On Wednesday, we are going to use computerized babies, and watch them like they are real infants. Earlier in FCE, we were doing our pillows. We learned 3 different kinds of stitches and we got to make our pillows however we wanted. But then we went on to babysitting because we finished.
Science- Recently in science, we have made a presentation on a chosen biome. We could choose tropical rainforest, desert, temperate forest, tundra and the taiga. Right now we are learning more and more about each biome, because everyone is presenting their masterpiece.
L.A. - In Language Arts we have been working on many things to improve our writing and reading strategies. We have wrote our Personal Narratives pieces and are adding details or taking away unwanted sentences to make them better. During Reader’s Workshop we have been using topics/ strategies to analyze our books and characters.
Band- Even though it is only the very end of October, we have already started rehearsing our holiday music. Our song selection is Auld Tannenbaum, Tango Bells, Simple Gifts of Christmas, Hanukkah Celebration and Countdown to Christmas.

October By: Janie
In math, we now have a break time, usually 10 minutes, where we play a quick math game or have a Math Chat where we partner up and discuss math topics. And we recently did a project: designing a flower bed, building an aquarium, or making the school lunch program. I chose to design a flower bed and our group won for the best flower bed design. It was really fun to make and figure out what to buy with a budget of $500.
In science we had to make a presentation about a biome, which is an area of land that have certain plants, animals, temperatures, amount of light, soil, and water. My biome was a taiga, which is the biome that Alaska is. The most fun part was adding animations and pictures to the Power Point. = )
In language arts we learned things like using context clues to figure out what a word means and a character’s flaw. We usually read 10-20 minutes during this time. Now we don’t really have language arts because we practice for WKCE testing during that time.
In social studies we are learning about Mesopotamia, an ancient civilization around the area where Iraq is right now. It’s also called the Fertile Crescent.

October By: Carlos & Jack
Math: In math Carlos is learning about place values and decimals. We learn how to estimate the place values. Jack does Aleks math program. Jack learns algebra.
Language Arts: In language we are learning about character flaws. Character flaws are weaknesses of the character. The antagonist then exposes the flaws to try to beat the protagonist.
Science: In science we learned about biomes and we made a project to persuade Mrs. Fulfer in living in a certain biome. A biome is a land that has its own features and makes it unique.
Social Studies: In social studies we have been learning about Mesopotamia. It was a great civilization now known as the Middle East.
Extra Circular: Jack and I are on the basketball team and both of us have fun. Last year we placed 6th in state last year.

October By: Mikayla
In math we are now working on dividing fractions and multiplying them also and subtracting for things like fractions. We are mostly dividing things. I just got finished with area and perimeter for triangles and trapezoids and also squares ect.
In science we just finished a project about biomes. Biomes are special lands you could say. As an example tropical forests and the deserts. We had to do a slide for the biome we have picked. I picked the tropical forest you have to list different animals, plants, temperatures, water, and ect.
Now social studies, we just got done with learning about Egypt. In the Egypt subject we learned about their beliefs and gods also about the Nile river and how farmers in Egypt get life off of that river as in flooding season the Nile floods and it waters all of the farmers crops. Now in social studies we are learning about the Mesopotamia.
Lastly language arts. We learned about realistic vs. unrealistic. Which is if the character in your book in your book sounds real or not real. Also we learned about the antagonist in our books. Like who is the bad guy. Lastly we learned about my characters flaw. As in my characters fears. And what my characters afraid of.

September By: Elly & Charlene
Language Arts: We like that we learn a new thing every day. We also like that we can always read after the lesson. Our books are really good right now so that is another reason we love to read. We watch a lot of Brain Pop videos and we get active with it.
Social Studies: We like that we are learning about Ancient Egypt and their way of living. We are working on the game board project with mikayla and Jennifer. The big test is coming up and this is another way of studying for our test. Social Studies is fun and complicated.
Science: We both like that we got to go to the prairie and learn about it. We also enjoyed doing the prairie project Elly did the picture book and Charlene did the letter to another prairie animal. We really enjoy having science but we don’t like reading straight out of the book.
Math: We switch for math and Elly has Mrs. Fulfer and Charlene has Mr. Finn. We both enjoy math and what teacher we have. Math can be complicated but it can be fun too. Math for Elly is different than normal and hard but, she gets used to it. Math for Char is kind of easy and can get a little hard. But we still enjoy moving to a different class!
F\ce: F\ce is fun but if the class talks too much than it isn’t that fun. Char thinks she is horrible at sewing but she’s really not that bad. Elly thinks that too but isn’t that bad either.
Spelling: Spelling isn’t hard at all because it’s just stuff from last year. It’s so boring when we just work out of our workbook. We like the packets but we don’t like them as homework.
I am so glad that Elly and Char are in the same class. We love to work together and we love to know we are always a team.

September By: Emily & Annika
This year started off very interesting and unique. We have learned new things and forgotten others.
Math, which is one of the first subjects of the day, is different from last year. Rather than staying in your homeroom for math, we switch so we can work with kids that are at our level. For example, in our math class we work on Aleks, a computer program designed to let you work at your own pace. Although it is nice to be able to work at your own speed and we get to choose what we want to work on, it is still can get boring at times.
Spelling is thought of as an important subject, at some points it can just seem dull. Lately we have been working on homophones and prefixes. While spelling can get bland, some of the activities on the weekly packet we get can be pretty fun.
In Social Studies we have been learning about Ancient Egypt. We have learned about many things that made up Ancient Egypt’s civilization. Some of those things include Pharaohs, social pyramid, agriculture and many other factors that made Ancient Egypt important.
In our units in science we’re learning about the prairie, and different sorts of ecosystems and cycles for a type of environment. When we were learning about the prairie, we got to chose from a variety of projects, which was nice, rather than having us do one thing specifically. For our other units we are taking picture notes and labeling different factors of an environment.
Language Arts helps us learn the art of language, hence the name. In this subject we learn about how to respond to books, make connections, and much, much, more. While it can get a little bland it gets us all involved, with the different steps we do. Each day we study a different topic.
Seeing as this is just September, imagine what we will have learned by the end of the year.

Thoughts on September By: Cali & Kathryn
Science-
We started our prairie unit by visiting the prairie. We explored the tall grasses and forbs. (forbs = flowering plants) Then we created projects. Cali made a poster that educated about prairies. Kathryn wrote a letter to persuade another animal who doesn’t live in the prairie, which was written by an animal living in the prairie. We are just getting into learning about ecosystems and different cycles. (nitrogen, water & carbon)
Lang. Arts-
We talked about perspectives (first person, second person third person omniscient, and third person limited). Also inferences and reading with a purpose. We used what we learned while we read during our lang. arts time. By doing this, we have increased our reading skills.
Math-
Kathryn- In Mrs. O’Hern’s math class, we have learned factor puzzles and how they’re used in many different ways. We are graphing and working on ratio tables. As a reward, we got to play a math game called “Beetle” which helped us work on our adding, but mostly just for fun!
Cali- In Mrs. Fulfer’s math class we’ve been working on the laptops on a program called “ALEKS.” This is pre-algebra. It gives us topics to do and we work at our own pace and achieve goals set every week. There’s a pie chart to show us our progress too.
S.S-
This year our main focus is ancient Egypt. We got started by reading in our textbooks. Then we chose a “Kids Discover” magazine and answered questions that went along with it. We are currently studying for the upcoming test and working on a project (a board game).

This month we went to the prairie. It was very fun to run and go throw the gasses and explore. Then we talked about ecosystems and how they work. In social studies we are working on ancient Egypt. I am doing a report that is going to be very cool. It is a board game and we are going to have special effects. I am in the prealgebra program. We do all of our work on computers and we get no sheet home work it is very cool. We do weekly conferences and set goals. I have to master a chosen number of topics a week. In language arts we are working on reading with a porous. We are also doing point of view it is fun. Last but not least we do author’s measage.
September By: Zach
This month in face I made a pillow I am all most done with it. It says the first letter of my name. We are taking it home next Wednesday. I just need a few more stitches.
Then in social studies we are leaning about Egypt. We have the test next week we have to study our study guide. We need to learn about the Farrow and the terms for some of the words.
Also in science we are learning about the water cycles and biotic and abiotic. We also were talking about the prairie. We had to do a project about the prairie. Then we went outside to the prairie we had to do a work sheet about the plant, animals, and grass and if we knew the name of it we got the bonus.
In language arts we are doing spelling words. We also do spelling tests. I usually get a few wrong. Then we do spelling work sheets like prefixes or fix it. We have to do the whole packet each week.
Then in math we are learning about ratios and factor puzzles. We have our test next week. So I have to study for the test. Then we are studying word problems.

September By: Drew & Ben
The first month of the school year so far has been great. The teacher is so awesome this year.
This month we have learned about many different subjects. In our science unit we learned about the prairie. One day in the second week of school we went to visit the prairie behind the high school. We saw many different forbs, (flowering plants) and grasses, like turkey foot, or big bluestem. At the end of the unit, we did our prairie project. I did a comic strip telling farmers about the prairies disappearing, and Ben did a five page picture book for the pre-schoolers about a walk through the prairie. We learned a lot and it was a fun unit!
In our social studies unit we learned about ancient Egypt. In Egypt when the pharaoh dies his body goes to the top of the pyramid after they get mummified and the pharaoh is the ruler of the people in Egypt. The slaves built all of the pyramids for the pharaoh and all of the other people in Egypt. Farmers grew all the food for the people in Egypt. Right now we are working on games that tell you about ancient Egypt, and throughout the unit we filled out cultural universals and learned about Egyptian’s daily life.
In our math unit Ben learned about factor puzzles, rate tables, and ratio tables with Ms. Cleary.
In Drew’s math class he learned about different things with integers, whole numbers, geometry, and other things on ALEKS with Mrs. Fulfer. It is a lot of fun.
Lastly, language arts was writers’ workshop and readers’ workshop. We like the readers’ one because we get to read for 20 minutes. We also learned about predictions and perspective shifts and lots of other topics. It was very fun, but boring at the same time.

Social studies: We learned a lot in our first chapter. Because it was all about Egyptians and it was very interesting. So everyone should have been interested.
Right now in social studies, we are making a board game. It’s is for a new project we are working on. You can have ideas from another board game as an example, Candy Land.
Science: We all started by learning about the prairie. All of us visited our Pewaukee prairie. You had to write and draw what forbs all of us saw. And then name them. All of us learned about different grasses. Such as Big Blue Stem.
We also right now are learning about the ecosystem. Also the water cycle. And living things in the ecosystem.
Math: In Mr. Finn’s class, we are all learning about basic ratios. Also ratio table, some are mixed and some just times by the same number. We are also making our own story problems. We have been doing factor problems to, figure out some math problems.
Language arts: In language arts we’ve been learning about inferences and making our own predictions about what’s going to happen next in our books. We’ve also learned about author’s message. Like if the story is clear or if you can understand what’s happening in the story.
Gym: Right now in gym we are in the basket ball unit “yay “I said!!!
But before that we were all in the football unit. We played games against each other. We all had a lot of fun doing this. But now it’s over

But before that we were all in the football unit. We played games against each other. We all had a lot of fun doing this. But now it’s over
September By: Carlos & Jack
Math: In math we’re in different classes Jack does the ALEKS math program and Carlos is in Mrs. Roben’s math class. In math Carlos has been factor puzzles and ratio tables. In the ALEKS program we work online at our own pace and work on your own it’s interesting, but it’s sometimes hard without a teacher.
Language Arts: In Language Arts we learned about point of view, author’s message, and many more. Author’s message is learning what the author’s point is without the author actually saying it. Point of view is what point of view the author wrote the book in. The good thing about LA is you get to read your own book and you are not in groups.
Science: We learned about the prairie and ecosystems. In ecosystems biotic factors are living things such as animals and trees, abiotic factors are non-living things such as water and the sun. Also we got to go to the prairie and learn about forbs and grasses.
Social Studies: In SS we learned about the Ancient Egypt. There are three Kingdoms: the New Kingdom, the Middle Kingdom, and the Old Kingdom. The Pharaoh’s ruled Ancient Egypt, King Tut ruled from age 9-19. Also King Khufu ordered the creation of the biggest Pyramid.
After-School Activities: For sports in the Fall/Winter Carlos plays Basketball and football and Jack plays Basketball and Soccer. For Basketball we have practices Monday and Friday for 90 minutes. We hope to dominate in state, which is in April after a 6th place finish last year.
