Week of 3/10/14-3/14/13 (3nd Quarter- Week 7)

6th Graders,

I have to start off by saying how proud of you I was in how you handled hurdles.  No one really got hurt and a lot of you took the risk and it paid off.  I hope you had fun with it.  It is a super cool event.  Remember, any of the events that we do in track and field are available in our After School Sports program starting on April 7th.

WEEKEND PUSH-UP CHALLENGE

KIDSHEALTH ARTICLE OF THE WEEK (AOW)

There is no AOW this week.  

YOUR WORD OF THE WEEK (WOW)

What is Word of the Week (WOW)?  Word of the week is a word that I post on the WOW page on my website.  If you click on the word, it takes you to a definition of that word.  You will receive 4-6 words/quarter.  At the end of each quarter, you will use each of these words in a paragraph.  You WILL NOT use each word in a paragraph, but, only write ONE paragraph using all of the words.  This assignment is restricted to ONE paragraph only.  The goal is to not literally DEFINE the words, but, rather, use them in context in a paragraph in a creative story demonstrating to me that you know what the word means without telling me what the word means.  

You WILL NOT have a WOW paragraph assignment in the 2nd quarter.  My goal is to have you do it for the 3rd quarter.  I'll announce it if you do.
