Good Morning 6th Graders,
Today is an ‘A’ day so you will go to Music. Make sure that you have all your materials you will need for Block 1, including your Music folder. Then take out your Book Notes so I can check them this morning. Last pick up an Ipad for your Triad group and work on the P2P. Let’s make it a wonderful Day. Remember you can achieve anything you set your mind too.
Thank you,
Mrs. Sargent & Mr. T.
P2P: Pick up a Madlibs from the music stand and work with a partner to complete the story. Then read it to yourselves and be ready to share it with the class.

- I can explain how the elements of mythology help me to understand the theme of the myth of Cronus.
