On updating and other things I don't do very often. . .

Yes, it has been a ridiculously long time since I updated the blog. Although I'm more diligent about updating the website, I do feel that blogging is a worthy window into a classroom, if used properly. To that end, I pledge to update (or have one of the students update) this blog at least once a week.

I will likely have the students do it for the following reasons:

a) They are much more interesting than I am.

b) They would probably prefer that I spend time grading their quizzes and papers instead of writing a blog.

c) They are much more interesting than I am.

I hope that you enjoy our new, improved, class blog. Please comment often, as our class gets a real kick out of the idea that someone may actually be reading this.

Welcome to Feigenlandia

Welcome back to school! This is our class blog, named "Feigenlandia" (you'll learn why it's called that in just a few weeks)

Although the summer has been lovely, it's time when we all start to feel ready to come back, re-establish relationships, and get back into the routine of learning. Ok, maybe we could use a few more weeks to go to the pool, travel to unknown places, and just lie in a backyard hammock with a really good book. But don't fear--we have plenty of fun times ahead of us in the 6th grade. To name just a few:

Students in Action day
Calleva
Creating our own websites
Publishing a class book
Learning about ancient cultures and mythology
Reading lots of great books, both in class and outside of class
Writing short stories
Student Council
Patrols
Lower School Musical
Tefilah Breakfast

Yeah, you'd better believe it, 6th grade is a ROCKIN' year!
