Practicing Thankfulness

6th grade has been learning and using positive adjectives to describe themselves and their friends or family. This week in honor of Thanksgiving (Nov. 28th), we created a wall art showcasing positive adjectives about oursevles that we are thankful to be.

¨FRIENDLY¨         ¨ARTISTIC ¨   

    ¨CLEVER¨     ¨BEAUTIFUL¨   

¨ FUNNY¨        ¨ DYNAMIC¨  

  ¨ HARDWORKING ¨

¨FRIENDLY¨  ¨BRAVE¨ 

  

 ¨THOUGHTFUL¨   ¨CARING¨ 

Good luck on your exam next week 6th grade!

This week our workshop and cooking class created rice krispy pumpkins. We learned a lot of new vocabulary about baking, but our most favorite new words were marshmellow and... (watch video below to find out!)

Below you can find the recipe:

Servings: 6 Prep Time 20 minutes Cook Time 5 minutes Total Time 25 minutes

Ingredients

• 6 cups rice krispies cereal
• 3 Tbsp salted butter
• 1 (10 oz) pkg.  marshmallows
• Orange food coloring
• 3 pretzel/crackers sticks, end portions broken in half for 2 pieces 
• Non-stick cooking spray or oil

Instructions:

1. Measure out rice krispies cereal and pour into a bowl. Melt butter in a 4 quart non-stick saucepan or pot over medium-low heat. 
2. Add marshmallows and stir and as they begin to melt start adding in the gel food coloring until desired color is achieved. Stir constantly until marshmallows have melted. 
3. Remove from heat then immediately pour in rice krispies cereal and gently stir and fold with a spatula until cereal is evenly coated. Let mixture cool slightly (until it's cool enough to handle with your hands).
4. Spray hands with non-stick cooking spray/oil then shape rice krispie treat mixture into balls about the size of a baseball, then insert 1 piece of the pretzel/cracker stick into the top center and reshape the pumpkin as needed. Transfer to a plate or dish sprayed lightly with cooking spray.
5. ENJOY!
6. Store in an airtight container.

Let´s go to a restaurant!

Look how much fun we´re having in our role play class! This week students practiced speaking skills about ordering food and drinks, likes and dislikes, and asking for the check.

¨Hello! 

What would you like to order?¨

¨What do you recommend?¨

¨The lasagna is delicious!¨

¨Do you have any vegetarian options?¨

Important Women in History

Each Student chose and researched a famous or important woman in history to be displayed in the entrance of the school. Great Job!
