Building Laundry Skills and Building Friendships

After discussing clothing care and various laundry tips the sixth grade students were able to identify appropriate clothing care practices to follow at home. Most of the 6th graders told me that they do help out with laundry chores. The students also figured out how to sort clothes according to color, degree of soil and fabric construction. It was fun to see how excited the students were about doing laundry.  I hope they practice some of these laundry skills at home this weekend.

The seventh graders had a busy week, as well.  They are wrapping up their mini-unit on peer pressure and friendship. The students have begun writing their essays on the topic of friendship this week.  They will complete these essays next week.

Sincerely,

Getting to know all about you!

It has been great getting to know all of the sixth grade students. They are very energetic and raring to go. They have done a nice job in class this week. We spent time completing several "getting to know you" activities. We also discussed procedures and expectations for Consumer Education.

I am learning many interesting things about each student. It is quite evident that all of the sixth grade students are ready for a great semester. Their enthusiasm is very refreshing!

There was also time to get reacquainted with the seventh graders this past week.  They have begun their unit on communication.  We had a great discussion on all the types of nonverbal communication that people use in their everyday lives.

Have a nice weekend!

Sincerely,
Mrs. J. Bretl
