Cathartic Chaos

...might be a good way to describe Room 503 at any given moment on any given day. However, I'm really just using it as the title of today's blog as it incorporates two of our newest vocabulary words (well, one of them is just a "bonus" word) and the use of alliteration, a literary element that the students are currently learning how to use in their writing.

As usual, the Sixth Graders are a busy brood (I'm employing some alliteration, myself, here). Science projects are now underway for our upcoming, first annual TPJA Science Fair (March 3); The students will begin the task of putting together their individual mythology projects starting tomorrow (due February 17), and lots of attention is being paid to writing work and our studies of Ancient Greece.

I'm excitedly exhausted just thinking about it all!

Cheers,
Ms. Pitman
