Here are a few of the highlights from our busy week.
Students taught lessons on vocabulary words from this unit. We learned about sublimation, chemical/physical changes in matter, diffusion, colloids, homogeneous/heterogeneous, solute/solvent and more... Students were creative and enjoyed being the "guest teachers."

Students enjoyed touring the Middle School Language Classrooms and getting a peek into what 6th grade looks like.
We checked out Roald Dahl's fantasy, The BFG, at the UH Kenney Theatre .
After viewing the play, we deconstructed this funny fantasy by identifying characters, the message, plot and fantasy elements. When we return from break students will write their own fantasy stories and create their own fantasy picture books.

We enjoyed the Popcorn Party that our class won for making the most creative owl themed decoration for Halloween. Students collaborated enthusiastically when working on this project! We also enjoyed Juliana's delicious chocolate dessert that we drizzled over bananas. Thanks Juliana!
At the end of the day we shared what we are most thankful for, students all agreed upon the most important thing, having loving families that support them in everything they do.
Have a wonderful Thanksgiving!
