Snow day!?!

Well everyone, it looks like you got your wish- Christmas break started a little early this year. I hope you all have a wonderful holiday with your families. Stay safe, get some rest, eat lots of food, and have fun! Take care and happy holidays! See you next year!

Book recommendations?

All 6th graders need to do book reports as a part of reading class, and some students have a hard time finding a book that they enjoy. Does anyone have any recommendations for good books to read? These could be books that you've read on your own, books you've read for past book reports, books your teacher has read aloud, etc. Leave a comment with your book recommendations! Leave as much or as little information as you like: title, author, genre, or a short summary are some suggestions.

Character quotes

December's Wildcat Wednesday is almost here! Here are a few quotations about character to think about:

"Everyone tries to define this things called Character. It's not hard. Character is doing what's right when nobody's looking." -Author Unknown


"What lies behind us and what lies before us are small matters compared to what lies within us." -Ralph Waldo Emerson


"The function of education is to teach one to think intensively and to think critically... Intelligence plus character – that is the goal of true education." -Martin Luther King, Jr.
"To wish you were someone else is to waste the person you are." -Author Unknown


"I count him braver who overcomes his desires than him who conquers his enemies; for the hardest victory is over self."- Aristotle


December's character trait is self-control. What is self-control, and why is it important? How can we practice self-control this month and throughout the year?

Happy Thanksgiving!

I hope everyone is enjoying their Thanksgiving break! Relax, eat lots of turkey, but don't forget about your Egyptian project and book report due in just a few weeks. See you on Monday!
