As we approach Martin Luther King, Jr. Day, I wanted to share an opportunity for students to earn social studies extra credit. The Martin Luther King, Jr. Day of Service is a chance to implement Dr. King’s teachings that empower students and communities. Starting the week of January 14 until Feb. 14, students will have the opportunity to earn extra credit by completing a service project (volunteering or participating in a local event), researching a civil rights topic, or conducting a firsthand interview of life during the Civil Rights Movement. To earn extra credit students will “artifact” the event. For example if you attend a rally take a picture and attach or send it to me electronically and write a reflection of event (what you did and what you learned). If you volunteer in the community take a picture and write a reflection. If you conduct an interview or research an event during the Civil Rights Movement and there should include a personal reflection of what was learned along with the interview or research essay. I am excited for students to have the opportunity to choose a method of extra credit focused on the theme of service learning and honoring Dr. King’s legacy. Please email me if you have any questions. Hi Parents! As we enter 3rd marking period we have a a ton of fun and exciting lessons planned to help us understand culture including a cross curricular project with ELA and SS, guest speakers for culture days, and a Lunar New Year Celebration. In order to make these events possible we are asking for donations. If you are able and willing please see the link below to our Sign Up. All donations are greatly appreciated. Donations can be brought to school and dropped off in Mrs Heintskill's room in the morning by your student or dropped off at the main office labeled for 6th Grade Team A. http://signup.com/go/ZwXrjXp Thank you, |
