It was another exciting week in sixth grade! In math, students focused on using diagrams to represent addition and subtraction of decimals. From there, they thought critically about real world decimal problems and used various strategies to solve them. Next, sixth grade readers worked with an article on Achieve3000 about women who fought for the right to vote in America. Students also read a nonfiction piece as a class and discussed how a certain paragraph fit into the text as a whole. In writing, students analyzed quotes and how they are used to enhance the writing of nonfiction texts. They worked hard to include various quotes effectively in their own work as well as create a final draft of their picture books.
