http://camphalfblood.wikia.com/wiki/Camp_Half-Blood_Wiki Here is the link that I didn't post for Percy Jackson
Happy December, In reading we are currently reading Percy Jackson The Lighting Thief by Rick Roden. The book is about a modern boy who discovers that his best friend is a satyr and more importantly his father is the Greek God Poseidon. Percy then goes on a country wide adventure trying to save himself and his father. So far the students have really enjoyed reading the first few chapters. Students if you have any questions or you are not understanding something please click here to go to link.
This week the students are currently working on an essay where the students are having a conversation with a pet or a stuffed animal. Each student is expected to write the essay using the proper format for having a conversation. The students usually have some fun when writing this essay.
What are your plans for winter break? Please share below. I will have family coming to vist. I'm sure they will love the warm weather.

Our trip to Montezuma's Well

Last week the sixth grade went on a field trip to Montezuma's Well, just outside Camp Verde, Arizona. The students had a great time and learned a few things in the process. To see pictures of our field trip, go to Facebook and "Like" Liberty Traditional Charter School. Our pictures are on the schools wall. Just a reminder that students should be reading 30 minutes a night and writing a summary of what they read during that time. I grade reading logs every Monday.
