Today we made OREO phases. What's that you say? You don't know what OREO phases are? It's when you make the moon phases out of Oreo cookies. The best part about this activity is we get to eat the Oreos after. Look at our neat examples.

This week we have been working on our Egyptian Mummies! It took us 5 days to design our sarcophagus and paint it with our name written in hieroglyphics. Look at the different designs we came up with. We learned that Egyptians mummified their dead. This process of mummification took 70 days to complete. Their organs were removed and placed in canopic jars. Mummy brains were removed using a brain removal hook, which went up the nose to remove the brain. Mummies were buried with their belongings because they needed these things in their afterlife. Wow, we learned a bunch in 3 weeks.

WOW!  The first two weeks of school just flew by.  We had a cool assembly where we got neat bracelets to remind us to "Pay it forward".  This means that we are doing nice things for other people and in return we ask them to "Pay it forward".  We played awesome games during P.E. like kick ball, tornado, and steal the chicken.  Science is fun.  We are learning about the planets, the universe, our solar system, and everything else cool in space.  Today we ended the week by having our student council election for track president.  Stay tuned to hear about the winners and what they will do for our school.

Today was our first day of school in Mrs. Stavros' Class.  We are all excited to be in the sixth grade.  We are the oldest, the coolest, and the BEST class.  Today we had fun doing photo art.  We took our picture and drew a fun background around our picture.  Check back to see what we do later in the week.  

Welcome to 6th Grade

Hello future 6th graders!  Welcome to the best, the most exciting, the most fun, the last year of your elementary education.  This year will take you into the ancient civilizations of the world as well as the far reaches of the universe.  6th graders are the best and that is why they get to be in charge of Safety Patrol and student council jobs.  I am so excited to start the year with the best class in the world.  WELCOME!

We have been very busy little sixth graders.  Today was our annual Valentine's dance.  Boy did we have a blast.  We not only partner danced, but did line dances, the Virginia Reel, the Waltz, the Chicken dance and ended with the limbo.  Upcoming events include a typing test and the Direct Writing Assessment.  Both happening in February.
