English Language Arts
During week 1 the students were introduced to the daily warm-up assignment (skill practice and review activities) and encouraged to begin writing. We started with journaling and discussing the 4 types of writing they will be expected to develop throughout their 6th grade journey. We also worked on building trust by establishing classroom procedures and student expectations within an ELA classroom.
For week 2, the students will continue the daily warm-up activities. We will begin our breakdown of writing by reviewing the 4 types of sentences and what makes a good sentence. All classes will review editing procedures. This week the students will see their first 2 graded activities. The first will be a graded paragraph which we will complete on Thursday, and the second is a creative project that will be introduced on Friday and worked on throughout week 3.

Connecting Themes/Enduring Understandings Used in 6th Grade Social Studies
Students should be able to demonstrate understanding of selected themes using knowledge and skills acquired during the school year. Understanding of these themes is not the end product of a single unit or lesson, but the product of long term, ongoing instruction.
The bold terms represent the connecting themes that appear in multiple units throughout the courses. Following the term is an enduring understanding that gives focus to the theme and, in parentheses, the grades or courses where they appear. Enduring understandings transcend specific units and courses and increase student understanding and retention of knowledge.
Conflict and Change: The student will understand that when there is conflict between or within societies, change is the result.
Culture: The student will understand that the culture of a society is the product of the religion, beliefs, customs, traditions, and government of that society
Gain from Trade: The student will understand that parties trade voluntarily when they expect to gain.
Governance: The student will understand that as a society increases in complexity and interacts with other societies, the complexity of the government also increases.
Human Environmental Interaction: The student will understand that humans, their society, and the environment affect each other.
Location: The student will understand that location affects a society’s economy, culture, and development.
Movement/Migration: The student will understand that the movement or migration of people and ideas affects all societies involved.
Production, Distribution, Consumption: The student will understand that the production, distribution, and consumption of goods/services produced by the society are affected by the location, customs, beliefs, and laws of the society.
Time, Change, Continuity: The student will understand that while change occurs over time, there is continuity to the basic structure of that society.
Gain from Trade: The student will understand that parties trade voluntarily when they expect to gain. (Economics, Personal Finance)
Scarcity: The student will understand that scarcity of all resources forces parties to make choices and that these choices always incur a cost.
