Mr. Gray’s Class Podcast

Reader’s Workshop

This week we will start a unit on Dystopian Books. This week kids will be reading their own Dystopian books and finishing a Dystopian project. I have some Dystopian Books in my classroom. Our library Mrs. Rusmisel is trying to curate Dystopian Books for our school library. Here is a list of books that would be great to read during our Dystopian Unit for the next few weeks. The students tend to really enjoy this genre.

Writer’s Workshop

The kids will finish working on their research-based information essay about teen activism. Then, they will choose a new topic to focus on in writing.

Math

Math Answers and Help Here

What happened to math class?

We have completed all our end of year testing for 6th grade. The kids will have an opportunity to earn some extra points with an optional statistics review test. Then, we will finish the second half of our Area and Surface Area unit which we never finished earlier this year.

History

We will continue our study of Ancient Greece. Students will continue a study of Greek Gods and Mythology. The kids will make their own Greek God and write an origin story for that God. We may also start studying Ancient Rome.

Science

The kids will work with Miss Stevens in science lab.

Thank you,

Mr. Gray
