6th Literacy/Social Studies

I'm truly excited to be a part of the James Ward team and to be working with the 6th grade class. Although it has been a challenge joining after the start of the school year, the faculty, staff, and students have all been very pateint and welcoming.

Literacy: Currently, 6th grade is reading the graphic novel version of Homer's Odyssey. As students read, they have also been completing double sided journals to reflect on important passages. Students will have their first quiz on Thursday, Oct. 12th.

I am hoping to reintegrate Words Their Way and reading logs into the class very soon.

Social Studies: Students have been completing a variety of activities relating to Ancient Greek History, as well as continuing to work on their Chicago History Fair Projects.
