A DAY IN THE LIFE OF A 6TH GRADER
|
|
We asked some of our 6th graders to describe a typical day. This is what they tell us it’s like:
|
|
| 6:45 |
|
Mom or Dad comes in and attempts to wake me up. |
| 7:00 |
|
I drag myself out of bed and into the shower. |
| 7:15 - 7:30 |
|
I grab some breakfast, then catch the bus. |
| 8:00 - 8:10 |
|
We arrive at school and I get ready for my first class. |
| 8:20 - 8:50 |
|
Advisory/Access. We learn about school activities, study skills, and spend time on thinking and reading activities. |
| 8:53 - 9:41 |
|
Communication Arts. We’ve been learning about expository writing. |
| 9:44 - 10:32 |
|
Spanish. I love learning about other cultures! |

|
Social Studies. We are starting a unit on Egypt. |
| 11:26 - 12:14 |

|
After School. I take the bus home and get a snack. I spend some time with the dog and relax a little. |
| 4:10 - 5:30 |
|
I do activities during this time most days, otherwise I practice my flute. |
| 5:30 - 7:00 |
|
Dinner time. This is the one time of day that our whole family sits down together, at least most days. |
| 7:00 - 8:00 |
|
Homework. I usually have less than one hour of homework a night. |
| 8:00 - 9:30 |
|
Relax. I usually watch a little TV, read a book, or play on the ‘puter. |
| 9:30 -10:00 |
|
Bedtime. I usually bring a book to bed and fall to sleep reading. |
