Dear 6th Graders,
     I hope you all enjoyed your first day back to school. Please hold onto all the important forms. I will be collecting them in an orderly fashion.  Remember to use the bathroom, sharpen your pencils, & pick a place to sit. This morning we will be going to a special assembly, so we will use the schedule below.
                                      Thank you,
                                         Mr. Trumble
Do Now: 
1. Write down your Homework in your agenda
2. Pick up a copy of "Who are You" from the music stand and begin working on it. 
3. Put your Name Tents on your table

Homework:
1. Finish the "Who are You?" activity
2. Bring in an Independent Reading book

Directions for "Who Are You": 
  • Complete page 1 & 2 by filling in the blanks. 
  • Use that information to decorate the 'Shield' 
  • Follow the guidelines on the 'Shield' worksheet  
  • You should take your time and do your best. 
  • These Shields will hang above your locker for the entire year.
  • ***See the examples from last years students for inspiration***

    • Activity #1
      Where's Matt?
      • What do the words 'tolerance' & 'intolerance' mean? What about Friendship, trust, and diversity.
      • Why is it important to demonstrate tolerance, friendship, trust, and acceptance on a daily basis.
      • How can you show these character traits in the classroom.



      Key Questions:
      • So what did you see in this video?
      • How did the video make you feel while you were watching it?
      • So the guy in the Videos name is Matt and he's done a few of these videos. Why do you think he does that?
      • Where is one of the places that you saw him dance?
      • So what I know is that he had a job when he made the first video but then he quit his job after he saved all his money so he could spend the money traveling around the world dancing with all the cultures. What you think of that?
      • Do you think people in other countries other than America are different than you? How about the people in this classroom? Do you think we're different?
      • Many people say they get emotional. Some people even cry when they watch these videos that Matt makes. Why do you think people react that way?
      • Do you think that there is a message that Matt is trying to make by dancing with all the different people and cultures around the world?
      • How do you see the themes of Respect, responsibility, integrity, friendship, tolerance, diversity, and acceptance in this video?

Activity #2
Read Calvin Can't Fly
But First... 
  • What is a starling?
  • Why is it important for birds to learn how to fly?
  • What would happen if a bird didn't know how to fly?
    And Now... Calvin Can't Fly
    • Were the character always respectful?
    • How did the characters eventually show respect?
    • Were the characters always responsible?
    • How did the character ultimately show responsibility?
    • Did the characters show integrity?
    • How did the characters show integrity in the end?
    • How do we see the themes of Tolerance, Friendship, trust, and diversity in the story?
    • What do these themes have to do with respect, responsibility, and integrity?
    ***Keep the lessons you learned from Matt's video & from Calvin Can't Fly in mind. You will use these lessons to create anchor charts to establish our classroom rules tomorrow.
