Our year is well under way now!  We have one novel under our belts and have built sufficient background knowledge of geography concepts to start applying them to the countries of the world.  We are now on to studying Northern, Southern, and Western Europe as those areas tie in to the settings of our first two ELA novels, The Witches (Norway and England) and Number the Stars (WWII Denmark and general reading/study of WWII non-fiction reading materials).

Students also created their own blogs where they will publish some writing throughout the year.  Ask your 6th grader for the password to be able to see their blog after clicking on the name of it in blue under the owl to the right of this post.

Thank you to all the families who have sent in artifacts for our World Geography Museum so far!  You can click on the interactive map to the right of your screen to see what we have borrowed so far and where the items originated from.  We could use more!  Please ask family at Thanksgiving if you get the chance!  Your generosity is much appreciated!
