Hello Everybody!
We had a very busy week last week and have another one this week. Last week we started our Egypt projects. The students really got involved in it. Some of our structures have fallen apart, but we will learn from this and reconstruct. I have given the students the assignment to research Egypt as much as possible at home. They do not need to read through their findings, just bring them in to class so we can all share. We are looking up how Egypt became such a successful civilization.
We are having a field trip tomorrow and are still short a few drivers. We are headed to the Olympic training center in Chula Vista. Students need to bring their lunches. If you can drive that would be great. Sorry for the late notice. For some reason I did not know we were short on the driving situation. The field trip will be from 10-2. Thanks!
Now for our weekly schedule:
Language Arts:
I first would like everyone to know that all of the "How to's" were awesome last week. We are now going to start working on persuasive essays and speeches. I am also going to assign another book report this week. It will not be due til after the break. Students know that they should be picking out a good book for it right now. We are not getting new vocabulary this week, but we will be reviewing our first 7 lists. We will be doing a lot of grammar work along with essay structure.
Math:
We are still working on Algebra. We will be getting into the order of operations as well.
Science:
We have been learning about the earth's structure and plate tectonics. We will be getting into earthquakes and volcanoes. I hope for us to get to a volcanoe experiment that I have this week.
Social Studies/History:
We are gong to be working on our big Egypt project. We will be constructing reasearch reports on Egypt as well.
Hope everyone is doing well! Don't forget this is the last week before we are on winter break. Let me know if you have any questions.

December 7th through the 11th
Hello Everybody!
First of all sorry I did not blog last week. Things got extremely busy. We had such an amazing week last week. Everyone worked so hard and I am so proud of the progress that is going on in our 6th grade community. Last week we started our "How To" speeches. I believe that learning how to speak in front of a group is so important so I have decided to start assigning speeches. In this project students will need to teach the class how to do something. It could be something as simple as how to shake someones hand to how to make tacos. Last week I demonstrated what I want by teaching the class how to make a chocolate milkshake and then I made everyone milkshakes. If your students wants to make the class something they can do that too. I know their are a few students that are making things at home and taking pictures of themselves as they make it. Then they will bring in the pictures and demonstrate that way. The students are working really hard on these and I am so proud of them. They are being presented on Tuesday and Thursday of this week. Now to our schedule:
Language Arts:
We will be doing our normal vocabulary and spelling words this week with both tests being on Friday. Also our "How to" speeches. We will also be doing a lot of grammar and essay structure work.
Math:
We are working on algebra right now. The students love that they are understanding it so well. I too, love that they are understanding it! Example of what we are learning: x + 1092= 6333
Social Studies/History:
We are starting a big project on Egypt. We are making a model of Ancient Egypt out of sugar cubes and grasping how Egypt has evolved.
Science:
We are learning about plate tectonics along with the ring of fire.
P.E:
Now that MAPS are done until after break I will be taking time to teach PE.
As you all can see we are going to be busy busy busy this week. I keep reminding the students that we have two weeks to go and then it will be break so we need to keep working extremely hard all the way up to that point. I hope everyone had a great weekend and I look forward to seeing everyone soon!

Last Week Before A Week Break
Hello Everybody!
Sorry for the delay on the blog. My internet is out at my house and I will be fixing that this week. Thank you to all that came out on Sunday to the Family Fun Fair. I know I had a blast and I hope you enjoyed it as well. This week is a big week for us and we have a ton to get done. Our Heroes papers are due on Tuesday, Personal Narratives are due on Wednesday, and our Movie Reviews are due on Thursday. I really am pushing for those movie reviews to be typed so we can enter them in a contest I have found, but it is up to your student. We are getting a few new additions to our class, a bullfrog named Sally and a Bearded Dragon that we still have to name. These are really going to help us learn about ecosystems. I know we are all excited about it! Now on to what we will be doing for the week!
Language Arts:
We are finishing up our Personal Narratives and will be reading them to our buddies on Friday. We will also be doing our normal vocabulary, spelling, and grammar. Heroes and Movie Review papers are also due.
Math:
We are learning about the x and y axis. We are going to be plotting coordinates on graphs. We will also be reviewing integers.
Science:
We are starting to learn about the layers of the earth and plate tectonics.
History/Social Studies
We are gong to be starting our exploration of Egypt. I am going to group the students together and each group will have a topic to research. They will next build an exhibit in the classroom so that we can construct our Egyptian museum.
So as you all can see we have a pretty jam packed week ahead. I have already told the students that our work will pay off because next week we have a break. Hope everyone is well, and never forget to keep the communication open. I am always available to suggestions of what I need to improve on to make your student the happiest they can be. :)

This Week: November 9th through November 13th
Hello Everybody!
I hope everyone had a great weekend. We had a great week and are ready for another busy one. Don't forget that Wednesday, November 11th is Veterans Day and we will not be having school. Other notes for this week: Thursday, November 12th is our Exhibition Night (Come see what we have been doing in class) and Sunday, November 15th is our School Choice Fun Fair from 10:00 to 4:00 in our parking lot. This should be a fun event and it could help us raise more money for camp. Our Science Camp is actually moved back to February 8th and we will be going for four days as opposed to five. This allows us more time to raise money and it makes the camp $227.00 as opposed to $270.00 per student. The other good news is that we get back on a Thursday and head right into a four day weekend!
Here is what we are up too for this week:
Math:
We are finishing up dividing integers and will have an assessment on adding, subtracting, multiplying, and dividing integers. From what I have seen the students are really getting it. From here we are going to move into plotting coordinates on an x and y axis.
Language Arts:
Last week we started working on our personal narratives. I am so happy to see our writing getting to be so much better. After we finalize our personal narratives we will be constructing them into children books. We will be able to bring our books to our kindergarten buddies for them to enjoy.
History/Social Studies:
First of all, our cave art that we did last week came out extremely well. I cannot wait for everyone to see it. We are moving forward with the hunters and gatherers to the evolution of agriculture. Then we will swing into Egypt and Mesopotamia. Right now I am working on our virtual field trip to Egypt. We will be constructing pyramids as well.
Science:
I have some extremely exciting news when it comes to science. We will be learning about ecosystems and I was lucky enough to have three aquariums donated to our class so that we can start constructing a science lab. I am thinking we are getting frogs, a lizard, and a tortoise. I know the students will be excited for this. We will also start learning about plate tectonics and the earth's structure.
MAPS:
We are still involved in puppetry and breathing and movement. The students are doing a fantastic job in both.
As everyone can see, even with Wednesday off we have a ton to get done this week. I know that we will have fun doing it though! Thanks to everyone that got the chance to meet on conference day. If you couldn't make it we can still meet just get a hold of me with times that will work for you.
Have a great week!

November 2nd-6th Activities
Hello Everybody!
Hope everyone had a great weekend. First to bring everyone up to speed on our fundraising. Our Chevy's fundraiser was a huge success and we made $545.00. Thanks to all that came out and spread the word to their family and friends. Today we sold waters outside the Chargers game and made another $135.00. We are slowly chipping away! I am very excited about it. Let's get to camp for as little as possible! This will truly be a life changing experience for our students.
In other news the movie was pretty deep and sad that we went to last Thursday. So far we have had some great movie reviews. I cannot wait to share them with you. Also the students know that we have a new motto in our class and that is to "challenge yourself." We are working extra hard to produce the best work we can.
Now here is what is to come for this week (November 2nd through the 6th):
Language Arts:
We are working on a new vocabulary list from our "Wordly Wise" books and will also be getting a new spelling list. In writing we are working on the structure of a five paragraph essay.
Math:
The students have really grasped the concepts of adding and subtracting integers! After our assessment this week we will be moving on to multiplying and dividing integers.
Science:
I have decided to make Wednesdays my main day for science. We will incorporate language arts, math, and art all into science on Wednesdays. I am quite excited for this. Let me know what you think about "Science Wednesdays."
Social Studies/History:
We have our big cave painting project going on this coming Tuesday and then we will be moving onto Egypt and Mesopotamia.
Art/P.E
In our MAPS program on Mondays and Fridays we are now in Puppetry and Movement and Breathing. The students are doing a great job thus far and from what I am told are working outstanding together as a whole group.
I am looking forward to yet another awesome week. Do not forget that this Wednesday the 4th we have student led conferences. These conferences are about goals for the rest of the year. They will only take 15 minutes per meeting and I will be there all afternoon. Please let me know of a time you can see me.
Thanks for everything!

October 26-30 Update
Hello Everybody!
First off I would like to thank everyone that made it out to Chevy's last week. From the looks of it we had a huge turnout. I am hoping we will find out how much we made by the end of the week. Let's get to Science Camp!
What we will be learning this week:
Language Arts:
We are learning about personal narratives right now and will be starting our own this week. Along with this we will be doing our usual grammar, vocabulary, and spelling work. We have also decided as a class that we are going to start our own television show. We will be writing scripts and performing commercials. We will be having people come in from the community for interviews and information. If you want to be on the show to speak about what you do or just to teach please let me know. If you have anything you want to donate to the "class set" that would be greatly appreciated as well.
Math:
We are learning about integers right now. We are using a great dice game to help us in this process. As of right now we are adding and subtracting positive and negative numbers. Next week we will start learning about multiplying and dividing them.
History/Social Studies:
We have been learning about Hunters and Gatherers along with the Stone Age. This week we will be learning about cave art that was done in those periods of time. After we learn about this we will do cave paintings of our own.
Science:
In science this week we will be learning about the scientific method.
Side note:
We have been learning a lot about our world and nature. I am trying to teach the students what being green is and how we can be green ourselves.
On a final note we have student led conferences coming up on the 4th of November. I will be available all afternoon. Please come in, email me, or call me with when you can come in. This is a conference about goals for the rest of the year and will only take 15 minutes. I will send home a sheet that you can go over with your student prior to coming in. Our bakesale will be canceled on the 29th of this month for we are pushing back our exhibition night to the 12th of November. Another class will be putting it on instead. We do still need to fundraise for science camp though. If anyone has any ideas please let me know.
Thank you everyone. I know you have heard it before, but just to reiterate I am so lucky to have your students in my class. I can already see the progress we are making. It is pretty amazing!

What we are doing in class these days.
Hello Parents and 6th Graders,
We are finishing up the "Me Project" and are ready to head forward with our learning. We have started learning about Ancient Civilization. Last week we learned about Hunters and Gatherers. Everyone in class did quite well on the assessment I gave last week on that. I am very pleased. In math right now we are learning how to analyze data as well as graphs. We have started a vocabulary program called "Wordly Wise." I have used this program before and it is extremely effective. Be ready to hear new intellectual words coming from your students mouths. We have been doing a lot of writing with the "Me Project" and are now ready to move on with Writers Workshop. We are going to be writing our own stories! I am very excited about this because we have such imagination in our 6th grade community. In science we will be starting to learn about the scientific method. We will be learning this through a project that deals with paper airplanes. It is going to be extremely fun for the students.
On November 4th, that is a Wednesday, we are having student led conferences. Please come in and sign up for a time that works best for you. If you want you can email me what time or times that are best for you. The conferences will last 15 minutes and the first one will start at 1:15. I will see people till however late. If this date does not work for you we can schedule for another date. I will be sending a form home that you should go over with your student prior to the conference.
Hope everyone is well! I am having a blast in the classroom and I hope the students are too. Every day I wake up excited to get to school. You all have amazing kids and we are really making progress and are absorbing so much. Our class has 17 students now and I feel that everyone is getting along so well. I am very proud of all of them! We are such a great team. I could not have asked for a better class. Keep the communication open. If you have any questions or comments let me know.

What a Great First Week!
Hey 6th Graders,
What a great first week we had. Our goals for week one were to know each others names, know a little bit about each other, learn the basic expectations of the class (bathroom procedures, transitions, bell signal), create the class rules together, discuss our hopes and dreams for the year, and to have fun. I am really pleased to say that I believe we were successful in accomplishing all of our goals. I am also excited to say that I am happy with our behavior for the first week. Let's keep it up. If we keep up the good behavior then we will be able to continue to learn and have a blast. I am excited to keep learning about maps and scales and to find out what is going to happen with Stanley at Camp Green Lake. I am also ready to start doing math this coming week. We will still be having fun and getting to know each other every day, but be ready to work hard all at the same time.
Thanks,
Justin
Don't forget GO USC!

Welcome 6th Graders!!
Just wanted to let everyone know how excited I am to be your teacher in the upcoming year. I cannot wait to build a fun, safe, and enriching community. I am really anxious to meet you all and find out what you are excited the most about the upcoming year. I want to find out what you are interested in so we can learn more about those things. I believe that we will all learn from each other and that includes me learning from you. I hope all of you are ready for the best year ever because I sure know that I am. We are having an open house at our new location 123 Camino De La Reina on August 29th from 10-12. Let your parents know. I am sure all of you will love our new home. Our room is great and will allow for us to do some amazing projects throughout the year. I want it to be our goal to do our best at everything and I really want us to display our work to not only our Innovations Academy community, but to the whole city of San Diego! It will be awesome. See you all soon and enjoy the last days of Summer.
