We are beginning our study of the continent of Africa. With 53 countries this is a challenging area of the world. If you have visited any of these countries please chat about your adventures with your child so they can make a real connection. We will have the giant map of Afric in school during the month of March. It fills half of the cafeteria and the students will be able to walk on it as they complete a number of excellent geography activities. Grade 6 will serve as guides for the lower grades as they "visit" Africa as well. This amazing opportunity is brought to us through the generosity of the PTO and National Geographic. Please check agendamates once in a while. Red circles indicate missing work. One or two is not cause for alarm. A repeated pattern of red circles is cause for a conversation. Homework is not too heavy so if your child is spending hours on it we need to talk.The country assignment is very different this year. It will continue for the entire year and sections are assigned in manageable pieces. We are exchanging postcards with other sixth graders in the Tritown. I am very proud of the finished products that we have sent to Middleton and Topsfield.We will exchange cards several more times before meeting together at Masco in the spring. This is a great curriculum/ social network connection for sixth graders. The social studies binder is important for a successful year. Please encourage your student to bring it back and forth each day. Or, would you like to view and optionally restore one of these previous versions? Password: Forgot your password?
