Using the information that you have read about the life of a knight during Medieval Times and the code of chivalry, think about which vows are relevant for modern times.  Respond telling which vow you think is most important and how you could show it is important in your daily life. 

Refer to a copy of the Code of Chivalry here

Happy Holidays! 

This is a time of year full of family traditions. 

What are some traditions that you do with your family?  Is this a tradition that your parents did when they were young? 

We had a fun-filled culmination of our Greek unit of study last Friday, Greek Day.  You came dressed in chitons, performed Greek mythology plays, ate a Greek feast and participated in the Olympics.  

I’d like you to reflect on Greek Day,  focus on which aspect of the day you enjoyed the most.  Then write a comment telling which part of Greek Day you chose and support why.

Well, it’s official.  You are now a middle school student.   Now that you’ve had a few weeks to get used to the upstairs middle school,  please take a moment and share what you are enjoying about being in the sixth grade and any questions you have about this academic year.

Do you feel like middle school is really all that different?
