Term 6 Update

Miss Ary’s Class - Curriculum Update
April 1, 2013-May 24, 2013

Term 6:  An Inquiry Into: Who We Are

 During this term we will be studying:
§  Biographies
§  Opinion Writing
§  Geometry
§  Science Process Skills
§  Historical Figures
§  Core Democratic Values

The Central Idea is:
A culture’s beliefs are reflected in the rights and responsibilities of its people.

The lines of inquiry will lead to discussions about:
§  Shared beliefs and principles in a society
§  The struggle to define and maintain rights and responsibilites
§  Historical figures and governmental leaders
§  Characteristics that helped shape the beliefs and principles in our society leaders. (Harriet Tubman, Sojourner Truth and Elizabeth Cady Stanton)

Students will receive a new reading contract this week.  They will need to read 2 fiction books in their reading range, 1 biography, and 1 primary document.   All work is due on May 15th.

Every students needs their "terms of use" agreement signed before we go home for spring break!
