Memories of Sixth Grade - End of Year Student Book

Students reflect in writing on personal experiences from the school year, including a special event and a field trip.

Students answer short review questions recalling Math, Science, and Social Studies content covered during sixth grade.

Students record personal preferences (favorite movies, shows, songs, and books) as part of a keepsake booklet.

Spread the booklet across the last week of school rather than completing it in one sitting, since the reflection pages and subject-review pages ask for different kinds of thinking.

Use the Math, Science, and Social Studies review page as a quick end-of-year check of retained content before students fill in the rest of the booklet.

Let students color and decorate finished pages before binding the booklet, since the reflection pages leave open space around the writing lines.

Personal reflective writing -- students respond in short written form to prompts about a special event, a field trip, and their favorite media and books.

Poem interpretation -- students read a riddle poem attributed to Emily Dickinson and infer its subject; its title is withheld.

Ratio reasoning -- the Math page's word problem requires finding an unknown quantity from a stated ratio (Eugene and Floyd's goals at a 5:1 ratio).
