It was a short but productive week in sixth grade! In writing, we reviewed the importance of transitional language in nonfiction texts. Students applied these specific transitions to their picture books. They also thought about appropriate text features and worked to include them in a rough draft. Next, sixth grade readers thought critically about nonfiction texts in new ways such as examining how details fit together and how central ideas are developed. Students also had the opportunity to practice their listening comprehension skills. In addition, sixth grade mathematicians applied their knowledge of multiplying/dividing decimals to solving problems involving area and volume.
