Day #11 - 9/22/15 - Unit 1: Writing, Making Predictions, & Plot

Good Morning Sixth Graders,
        Today is an ‘A’ Day so we will go to Gym. Please enter the room quietly and make sure you have all your materials. Next, I want you to participate in what I like to call "Trivia Tuesday." Simply pick up a trivia card from the music stand. Then take turns asking and answering trivia questions with the other students at your table. Be sure to communicate in a voice that is appropriate for the classroom. 

                                    Thank you

                                     Mr. Trumble

Point to Ponder: Enjoy Trivia Tuesday. If you find a really good question you may try to stump the teacher.
