Unicorn Reading by Nicolai and Jacob

In this segment, we are doing non-fiction reading. Also, we were practicing paying attention on how the books were organized. While we read we write notes on a text and choose what type of text it is like:
Cause and effect
Compare and contrast
Chronological
Problem and Solution
We write down notes about the text in these ways.

6th Year math by Austin and Colin
The 6th graders did a pretest for the second half of the year. On Thursday they gave us the only half of the test. On Friday we got to do the rest of the test we got to see what we are going to be learning this year. This test will help the teachers know what they need to teach more on, and what they don’t need to focus on. I think this test was fun to take, but a lot of other Students will disagree with me. This test tested us on volume, ratios, coordinate graphs, percentages, algebra and finding averages. To conclude we had fun taking the test and we know this test helps the teachers a lot.

This week in art we did snowman selfies. A snowman selfie is a picture of a snowman changing poses and expressions. It was very fun! Our teacher M was helping us a lot by saying: “Use whisper lines!” Some people decided to use scarves and hats and some people to decide to use both top hat and scarf.  People also had brooms as arms on their snowman.  In conclusion, doing snowman selfies were very fun!

MLK Day by Isa and Kohl
January 18 was the day we celebrated Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. who was a great leader in the times of racism. He was admired by many people and lead many marches, protesting the unfairness of the laws. He is also known by his famous speech “I have a dream”. For this holiday, we marched around our school with signs protesting to reenact the unfairness in respect of what Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. did for our country. Before we marched we had an assembly telling his life story. In all, we would not live the same way we do if Dr. MLK Jr. did not stand up for what was right.
