Paul's Place Delivery!

On Friday afterschool I hand delivered our lasagna casseroles to Paul's Place. I took a few pictures of my adventure!

Casseroles for Paul's Place!

This month we worked with the 9th Age girls to make four lasagne casseroles for Paul's Place. We wore gloves to protect our hands and keep germs at bay. We liked mixing together the sauce and ricotta cheese! Working together to help others makes us feel good! Nice job, 6D and 9B!

Having fun with friends!

We like to build and play with friends in 6th Age!

The Alphabet Tree

We listened to the story THE ALPHABET TREE by Leo Lionni. In the story, a tree has many beautiful green leaves, and on each leaf there lives a letter. One windy day the leaves are scattered about. A bug comes along and teaches the leaves to be stronger by linking together to form words. Later the words form sentences.
We made our own alphabet tree and letter leaves. It was fun to create words out of the letter leaves!

Median, Mode, and Range

We have started something new in math class! The mathematicians are learning about the median, mode, and range during estimation projects. We estimated on index cards this week, and then posted our estimates on the chalkboard. We were sure to sequence the numbers from least to greatest.
Then we calculated the median, or middle number. We started at the least and greatest numbers, and then worked our way to the middle.
Then we tallied the mode, or number repeated most often. This was easy to see visually with the numbers on the board.
Lastly we calculated the range, or the difference between the largest and smallest number.
Nice job, mathematicians! We will continue to calculate the median, mode, and range when estimating!

Star of the Week

We learned our Star of the Week loves to travel to warm, exotic places! She loves her family and can walk the tightrope! She is a ballerina!

Turkey Glyphs

We created turkey glyphs with Mrs. DeLorbe's math class! The glyphs tell the viewer data about ourselves. For example, if we chose a white body for our turkey, it meant we did not like turkey. If the body was dark brown, then we prefered dark meat, and light brown meant we prefered light meat.
Upon completing the glyphs, we worked to graph the data. We have been using our addition and subtraction skills, as well as our number sense to graph this information.
