Today, we compared distilled water, tap water, salt water and bottled water, to see which one offers up the most lather. My students were secretive about the results. Perhaps, fearing they did something wrong and are waiting for all the groups in their class to complete the experiment to see if everyone agrees. Hee hee.
Civil Rights
We are taking a look at civil rights in my social studies class. I gave the class several scenerios; one is an African-American person in the deep-South, another is a woman in 1900, a third is an American Indian trying to register to vote for a senator, and finally, an 18-year-old military draftee wanting the right to vote before being shipped off to fight in the Korean (War) Conflict. I gave them a set of questions to answer as they decide on whether to write a letter to loved ones, a diary, or a quiet protest with posted signs and banners. It will be interesting to see this lesson develop.
No Picture
Sorry gang, I eliminated the sixth grade team picture from our department home-page. The camera added 130-pounds to me, while the womenfolk look fabulous. Must be descrimination on the filmmaker's part.
Holiday Door Decorations
Have you decided on the best sixth grade door decoration? My homeroom even put up a "Pappa Z" stocking filled with miniature candy canes.
Have a great night.
