Mr. Mattern's Sixth Grade

It is hard to believe, but we are almost halfway through the sixth grade year!  On January 21st, there will be a virtual meeting to plan for graduation.  A paper with information regarding this will be sent home with your child today.  Thank you.

Just a reminder that I will be hosting a Google Meet for students who are working from home on Monday, December 21st, at 9:00 a.m.  I will post a link on the blog fifteen minutes prior to the meeting.

Below are the assignments that need to be completed for Mr. Mattern for December 18th.  All assignments are posted in Google Classrooms.

Reading Google Classroom:  Please read the story in Storytown, Maxx Comedy (p.26), and respond to the comprehension questions.  Please submit when finished.

Writing Google Classroom:  Using Kami, complete the  Lesson 10.2 worksheet – Phrases Between Subject and Verb.  Please submit when finished.

Spelling:  Please complete your spelling packet for Lesson 13.  I will grade this packet, and it will take the place of your spelling test.  I will collect this packet when you return to school.  

*Please check Mr. Schettler’s Math and Science Google Classrooms for his assignments.

Stay safe  and healthy!  If you have any questions, feel free to send me an email.  

Mr. Mattern

Last week our class read a story about mimetic buildings.  After reading and discussing this story in class, students responded to a TDA prompt.  The students had to prove, with evidence from the reading, why mimetic structures have been so successful throughout history.

I was very pleased with the responses the students gave for this prompt.  Their writing was well organized and thoughtful.  They also did a great job reviewing for spelling and grammar errors before submitting the final copy. 

We will be working on another TDA response this week.  While I guided the class last week, students will be asked to work more independently this time.  I look forward to seeing their amazing work!
