In English this month we have been working on an essay called Breaking Barriers. These essays will be submitted to a national contest sponsored by Scholastic Books. Each student's essay will be about a personal barrier they have faced or are facing and how they used one of Jackie Robinson's nine values to help them overcome that barrier. Please ask your student about their essay.
Sixth grade is focusing on folk literature this month. They must read three folk stories, choose their favorite from the three and prepare and present a puppet show about that story. I will post the instructions for this month's project on this website.
