September - October Activities

September was both a busy and exciting month..Our class, along with my Gr. 6 Language Arts class, began our Presidential election preparation. Zack, Unyime, Tyler, and Lyndsay went to each classroom representing the candidates and delivering their "platforms." Our next step was to "register" every student's "eligibility" in voting next month. Committees were formed to create and design posters to be displayed throughout our halls for classmates to view. Two adult speakers will address the 5th and 6th graders on the election process as well as each student closely learning about the election process itself. On election day, November 4, each "registered" voter will make their choice. We look forward to these coming weeks with much anticipation. Grade 5 will begin their research paper in a few weeks. They are currently choosing their topic. Thank you for reviewing their daily papers. The extra reinforcement of the day's work is very beneficial especially in social studies. Many of 6th grade Language Arts students were selected as published poets in one of Ohio's past spring anthologies. Grades 5 and 6 are currently submitting their fall selections due November14 . I am very proud of their hard work in poetry. Several have currently been chosen for publication in the Youngstown Vindicator Mini-page as well.
