In Book Club, we are reading Hatchet. Each week we read two to four chapters. As we read we make predictions, ask questions, draw conclusions, and pay attention to character development. Read our comments by clicking on the comments section below.
In Writer's Workshop students created a "Territories List". Our territories list is a place we can go when we are trying to figure out what we are going to write next. It's our ideas bank. The list helps us be more organized, productive and focused as a writer. It's a constant reminder of who we are and what we know and care about. Students combined their list with a friend's and created a word cloud. You may view our word clouds below. Enjoy our thoughts, special places, hobbies, interests, names of people we care about and love, and most of all... Maybe you will be inspired by our ideas, pick up a pen and write!
The writing you find on this blog is posted by thoughtful, intelligent and creative sixth grade students and their teachers. We consider ourselves authors and thoughtful readers. Our hope is to inspire the likes of you to pick up a pen and write. May you also get lost in the pages of a good book...
