Time to Reflect...


Water for Sixth Grade has passed the 10,000 visitor Milestone. Water for Sixth Grade has also traveled to over 111 countries since it was launched in August of 2008. Despite the high number of countries blogging with Water for Sixth Grade, we are not satisified. There are still countries in the world that have not had the W.S.G. Experience and it is our goal to give that to them. There are about 80 countries that W.S.G. has not been represented at, so our work is not done. We are still on the quest to spread W.S.G. throughout the entire world, to change lives, to create a culture, to create a way of life and to make 6th Grade an unforgettable experience. That is what life is all about, Experiences that one will remember forever. My students, You, are part of something that is bigger than just this grade, bigger than just this city. It is something that is beyond these school walls. It is spanning the globe. It is not me alone that has pushed W.S.G. to this position, you, the student are a major part of making Water for Sixth Grade what it is. I Thank you. The World Thanks you.
Because of this monumental occasion, I think it is fitting to stop and take a moment to reflect on W.S.G.
Here you can post whatever you want about Water for Sixth Grade, about how it has changed your life, about how it has changed the world, about 6th grade in general, about blogging in general, about thoughts you have, ideas you have, stories you have, anything you have. Share it all here, on this post, all Winter Break long. Despite the two week break from school, let us stay connected and continue to share ideas and share experiences.
Blog On!

Laying China to Rest


Where does the time go. Here we are, at the end of the China unit and it seems like just yesterday we were starting the Stone Age. It's amazing how fast time goes, lucky for us, Water for Sixth Grade is timeless. (which means it will last FOREVER)
I am assuming you thought that once you were done with the test, you were done with your work for Social Studies. Oh, how you were wrong. This is going to be a multi-task post, which means you are going to have to do more than one thing. So perhaps you need to start reading faster to get to the part of this post that actually explains what you need to do. I'm kidding, no rush, I appreciate you reading this and taking the time out of your busy schedule to come to my class. By the way, did you get a hair cut? It looks nice. You Must Do BOTH Tasks.

Task 1: You need to reflect on Ancient China. That basically means you need to blog about what you learned about Ancient China. Here's a few tips to get you started: Tell the world what you liked the most about the Unit, tell the world what you thought was interesting, what types of activities you liked doing the most, what do you wish we would have done, etc. I am always open to new ideas for projects, activities, etc. Got a good one? Share it!
Task 2: Compare Ancient China with our previous unit, Ancient Egypt. Tell the world how these two civiliations are similar and how they are different. Here are a couple ideas on what to compare/contrast: the Rivers of both civilizations (how were they used? How were they similar?), Pyramids and the Great Wall (what were they both built for? Who worked on them? What are they used for today? Unique about them?)
What allowed these two civilizations to grow and become a major civilization, compare/contrast the impact each has had on our lives today (which civilization has impacted us the most? Why? What civilization do you like the most? Why?
Due Date: December 19, 2008. Midnight.
Points: 20 School Points
Worth: Continuing to become Master Bloggers

Good Luck, and as always, Thank You for your hard work and positive Attitude. You are the Best.

Chinese Innovation-Unlike Any Other...

Ancient China is Influential. Ancient China is Innovative. Ancient China is Amazing. Ancient China is paralleled by no other in the Ancient World when it comes to impacting our lives today. We have experienced the wide array of Chinese Inventions via the PowerPoint. We have a grasp on just how much this Ancient Civilization has impacted our lives today. It is amazing and scary to think what our world would be like if Ancient China had not produced the contributions they did. Their contributions to the modern world should make us stand up and say, "Thank you."
With all of these inventions in mind, let's discuss the impact they have had on our culture and the importance of each invention. Everybody has been assigned an invention. This is the only invention you are going to blog about. You may certainly respond to other comments.
Task: Tell us what your invention is, What it does, and Why YOU think it is the MOST important of all the Chinese Inventions. State or case, think about it, make a good arguement for your invention. This is good practice for when you give a speech on your invention.
Points: 10 School points
Worth: This will benefit you beyond the walls of BVMS
Due Date: December 15th, 2008. 10:00 p.m.

As we get into the heart of the Chinese Unit, keep working hard. Thank you for your effort and attitude. It is greatly appreciated!

Brain Teaser: Red Remover

A "Chinese" State of Mind


Throughout the last four weeks, our attention and focus has been entirely devoted to Ancient Egypt. We learned about many interesting, if not fascinating, topics pertaining to Ancient Egypt-Pyramids, Nile River, Mummification, etc. It is my hope that those things have "stuck" in your brain. Despite the success of the Ancient Egypt Unit, we must move on and shift our attention and focus on our new topic-Ancient China. Despite the relative shortness of this Unit, we will discover that Ancient China has significantly placed its fingerprint on our culture today, here in the United States. How, exactly, Ancient China did that will not be revealed at this time, however, but slowly throughout the Unit as we discuss Ancient China.
Task: To help us get into a "Chinese State of Mind," lets think about what we already know about Ancient China. I am not asking you to tell me only what you know, I'm asking you to tell me what you know, what your mom knows, what your dad knows, what your siblings now, what anybody in your family knows about Ancient China.
DUE: Friday, December 5th 2008. 5:00 p.m.
Points: 10 School Points (Completion Grade)
Worth: Plenty...

Kick Ancient Egypt aside people, it's China Time!

Happy Thanksgiving

Happy Thanksgiving, Sixth Graders! I hope you enjoy your five day vacation. Try to do something constructive over break like reading, blogging, or spending time with your family. Don't play video games the entire five days!
Thanksgiving is worthy of a post on Water for Sixth Grade. So, my 6th graders, here is what I want you to do: Tell us your Thanksgiving Day Traditions. Sharing on the blog not only allows your classmates to read, but also allows the whole world to read as Water for Sixth Grade continues to span the globe. Perhaps others from the United States will be moved to blog about their Thanksgiving traditions, thus offering different persepctives of this holiday from around the US.
**Some items to consider when talking about your traditions: What food do you eat? Anything special? Any traditional games you play? Where do you go? Do you travel a lot? Is it a big get togehter? Or is it a small gathering? Do you watch football? Does everyone fall asleep after eating the turkey? Do you go hunting? What do you do? What do you like best about Thanksgiving? Etc....

Pyramids or Mummification?

Good Day, my 6th grade bloggers. Water for Sixth Grade has already dealt with the Nile River and Egyptian Daily Life. So for this post, we will be focusing on only two aspects of Ancient Egypt. You will be commenting on either Pyramids or Mummification. So, one might ask, "Mr. Klumper, how do we know which one to do?" The answer is quite simple: If your last name begins with any letter between A and K, your topic is Pyramids. If your last name begins with any letter between L and Z, your topic is Mummification. Simple, huh? All you need to know is what your last name starts with in order to figure out what your topic is.
Task: Using your guided notes for your topic, tell me about your topic as if I know nothing about it. Act like I have no clue about pyramids and mummification and you are trying to teach me about them. Remember, your audience is not just 6th grade students at Brandon Valley. Your audience is far greater than that. Water for Sixth Grade is sweeping the World. There are people from all over the world reading your thoughts and ideas. Educate them on Egypt!
Good Luck.
Format: Paragraph-Style. Topic Sentence. Use your guided notes to tell me EVERYTHING about your topic.
Length: In order to complete this assignment for full credit (A), you need AT LEAST 300 words. If you are only able to come up with 200 words, you will earn a B, 100 hundred words will earn you a C. Anything less than 100 words is not acceptable.
School Points: 20
Life Points: 5,000
Worth: More than you know, but will soon realize as you navigate your way through the years of life.
DUE: November 25, 2008. 7:00 p.m.

I greatly appreciate your effort and enthusiasm about Egypt. It is just a joy coming to school everyday when students like you are here waiting with great attitudes about Social Studies. You make this the best job in the world.

Ancient Egyptian Daily Life Snapshot


We have discussed the daily life of Ancient Egypt together in class. Now it is your turn to discuss it together, blog-style. We discussed the family, peasant life, Homes, clothing and appearance. Using the things we have discussed, write a 100 word essay describing Ancient Egyptian Daily Life. For your essay, there are some options. You may want to focus in-depth on just one part of Daily Life (i.e. appearance, clothing, homes, etc.) or you may want to briefly cover all topics of Daily Life. It is your decision. You Decide. Whichever path you choose, make sure you hit 100 words.

Format: 100 words. Paragraph Style. Topic Sentence*
DUE: Monday, November 17th. 10:00 p.m.
School Points: zero
Life Points: 1,000
Worth: Gaining knowledge and skills to help you in the 21st century. As the world moves forward, you will be leading the charge with your technological savvy skills.

*Tip for this Post: A topic sentence states what you will be talking about in your essay.

Example of GOOD topic sentence: "The appearance of ancient Egyptians has a very distinct look." From here, I would continue my essay describing ancient Egyptians and explaing why they have a distinct look, what makes them distinct, etc.
Example of a BAD topic sentence: "I am going to talk about clothing."

The Great River Nile


The fact that we learn about the Nile River first during our Ancient Egypt Unit is by no accident. The Nile is by far the most important and essential element for Ancient Egypt. Without the Nile, Ancient Egypt would be a meaningless blip on the Ancient Civilization radar screen. We discussed the importance of the Nile and the various purposes the Nile serves the people of Egypt. Let's take some time to discuss what we have learn about the Nile. You may use your Nile River Notes if you get stuck.

Your discussion should include ALL of the following:
--Describe the picture I have attached to this post. Explain why the picture looks as it does.
--Discuss both the "Black Land" and the "Red Land." Why is it called that? What is possible in the Black land? Why? What is not possible in the Red land? Why?
--Describe how the Nile River is a "Giver of Life" and how it is a "Taker of Life"
--Why is the Nile River so important? Things to keep in mind/discuss: why do people live so close to the Nile, the many uses of the Nile, what Egypt would be like if the Nile River did not exsist, etc...

Good Luck on this very important Nile River post. This is the most essential element to understand in dealing with ancient Egypt. Be confident in your ability to adequately disucss the Nile.

The Egypt Unit is well underway. Thank you for your continued effort and enthusiasm about Social Studies.

Obama Wins!



Water for Sixth Grade would like to offer our deepest, heartfelt 'congratulations' to Barack Obama for winning the Election, making him our next President of the United States. This is truely a historic moment in the history of our Country. We are fortunate to be able to witness these historic times first hand. We are here, living through them, in the moment. The record number of voters in this election signifies that there is a change in attitude in America. More people than ever are starting to care and starting to realize that they have a voice in this country. Appreicate the fact that you live in America. Do not take it for granted.
It will be exciting and interesting in the months ahead as Obama begins his presidency in January.
Good Luck to President Obama.
Students: Now that the election is over, what are your thoughts? Did you watch the election on T.V.? What do you think of the whole thing? Share your thoughts, comments, questions........

Egyptian Art: What can we learn?


Do you remember the Stone Age Art? All those paintings about hunts, animals, fighting? Remember all the things we could "see" and "learn" from them? Well, now let us try the same thing with Egypt. Because of Egypt's writing system, we can learn about them by actually reading about them. However, studying their artwork can help us look into the past of Ancient Egypt and enable us to discover their culture, their beliefs, their way of life. I have attached a picture of Ancient Egyptian art. Click on the picture to see a larger version.
Task: Look at the picture. Study the picture. Think about the picture. Analyze and post your comments about the picture.
I want you to tell me what you think about this picture. First start in general terms: What do you see? What does the picture mean? What is happening? What is going on in the picture?
Here are a few things to focus on, perhaps: Why is the smaller person facing the opposite direction from the other two larger people? Why is the small person holding on to the larger person's leg? Why do the larger people look different than the smaller person? What is different about them? What is with all the birds? What is on the far left side? Weeds? flowers? grass? What is the largest figure doing? Where are they? Why do you think that?
Share your thoughts, but be prepared because your opinions and thoughts are up for debate. Read other people's comments and agree/disagree with them. Remember, it is very important that you say why you agree/disagree. Be Respectful.

**Thank you for your effort thus far in the Ancient Egypt Unit. I greatly appreciate your enthusiasm and positive attitudes. You kids rock.

Surfin' the Egyptian Web


Okay, here's the deal: Some of you have not finished your Library book fact search sheet. And that is okay, despite the fact that we are done with the Library books. So, one may wonder, "How am I going to finish my Library Book Fact Search Assignment?" Valid question. Thank you for asking.
For this post, entitled "Surfin' the Egyptian Web," we are going to work together in a massive effort to find websites about Ancient Egypt. This is a post like no other so far in this young school year. Here's how it works: Go to the Internet, use a search engine (google, yahoo, msn, etc.) Search for websites that deal with Ancient Egypt. Keep in mind that Ancient Egypt is a VERY broad topic. So, with that in mind, you may want to try and narrow your search. For example, perhaps you want to search for "Nile River" or "Great Pyramid" or "King Tut." Any aspect of Ancient Egypt is a possible search item. When you have found a valuable website dealing with some aspect of Ancient Egypt, post the link. Along with the website address, tell me what you like about the website or what is cool about it. The possibilities are endless. Before you post your Ancient Egypt website, check the comment list to make sure nobody else has posted that link. Do not post a link somebody else has already posted. Think about the consequences of this post: There are roughly 135 students on the Red team. If everybody finds a different Ancient Egypt websites, we have over a hundred websites on our hands. And out of those hundred plus websites, there has got to be cool websites.

**Those of you who have not finished the Library book fact search: Look at websites that have been found by me or other students and finish your sheet by getting facts off the websites. Simple, huh?

*To get the activity started, I have included the British Museum site for Ancient Egypt on the side of the Blog under "Ancient Egypt Links". Perhpas your site will be worthy of making it to my Ancient Egypt Link List!

Good Luck and as always, thank you for your hard work and positive attitude.

Tell Me What you Know: Mesopotamian-Style


Good Day, Bloggers. As we continue down the path of becoming Master Bloggers and Master Thinkers, it is time to once again be rewarded for our hard work on the blog. You will recieve 20 points for this Post. Similar to the Stone Age, I want you to simply tell me what you know about Mesopotamia. Again, I will give you at least a C for telling me at least one thing. However, I know that you know more than one thing, so I look forward to reading about all your knowledge. Posting ten COMPLETE pieces of knowledge will earn you a 100%. It is very important that you state a complete piece of information. Each of your items that you list should tell me something about Mesopotamia.
*Example of a WEAK Posting: "Mesopotamians could farm."
*Example of a STRONG Posting: "Mesopotamians used irrigation to water their crops, thus enabling them to be great farmers and build up a surplus of food."
Also, when we have compiled our list of Mesopotamian knowledge, it will be a great review tool for other students in preparation for the Exam on Wednesday, October 22nd, 2008.
FORMAT: Use complete sentences. (important when typing a complete piece of information)
Name Format: FirstName Period#lastName.
Worth: 20 Points
DUE: Tuesday, October 21st, Midnight.

In my opinion, you, the student, has done a very good job during the Mesopotamian Unit. I greatly appreciate the hard work at positive attitude in learning about Mesopotamia. You, the student, has worked very hard and it will show come test time. Thank You!

An Eye for an Eye; A Tooth for a Tooth


We have discussed the Code of Hammurabi. We have looked at examples of some of the laws. We have decided that some of the laws are "weird" for lack of a better term. Some laws (many laws) carry a gruesome penalty for breaking it. Listed below are four of the laws from hammurabi's Code. Read them. Think about them. Blog about them.
1. If a man has put our the eye of another man, they shall put our his eye as well.
2. If a builder has built a house for a man, with the result that the house falls down and kills the owner, the builder shall be put to death.
3. If a son has struck his father, they shall cut off his hand.
4. If a man has accused another man and has brought a charger of murder against him but has not proved it, the accuser shall be put to death.
Gruesome? Fair? Unjust? What do you think.
Tell me what you think of these laws of the Code of Hammurabi. Are they fair? Are they Just? Are they too harsh? Explain your point of view. You may then respond to others by agreeing or disagreeing with them. Remember, a good debater provides SPECIFIC examples to back up his/her point.

Part 2: Laws are very important for today's world. Without laws, the world would be in chaos and it would be a very dangerous place. Let's ponder the laws that effect you the most such as curfew, certain bed time, certain amount of computer/video game time, no gum in school, only being able to drink water in school and not gatorade or juice, etc. Are their laws (rules) that you wish would be different? What would be some rules that you would change? Be careful, though, because you must think about the effect that a law/rule change would have..............

The Great Debate: Irrigation? Money? Written Language? Wheel?


Whether it was through Powerpoint, discussion, video, or digging for artifacts, we have learned about some "firsts" of Mesopotamia. We have discovered that Mesopotamia, the first Civilization of the world, was the first to invent written language(cuneiform), irrigation, the wheel, and money. Four things that directly affect us in 2008. I think we can all agree that those are four very important things, especially in today's world. However, let us take a few moments to think about which, exactly, of the four is the most important? Your first instincts may tell you it's money. Judging from this weeks poll, most of you think that. But do not be so quick to answer, think about the world without each of the four. What is it like? You may think money is most important. With money, you can buy a car. However, without the wheel, your car is not going anywhere. With money, you can buy food, but without irrigation, crops would not get sufficient water, therefore, we would not have food to eat. No written language? It would make things quite difficult. We would not be able to communicate with each other which means no talking on the phone, no emailing, no texting and the worst of all, no blogging.

Part 1: So, If you could only pick one of the four inventions for today's world, what would it be? Explain your answer with specific details.
Part 2: Look at somebody elses comment and respond to them. You will respond to another students' comment by posting a new comment.

Welcome to Mesopotamia!


We have reached our second unit of the year: Mesopotamia. I think you will discover two things as we go through the unit of Mesopotamia. #1: I think you will come to realize how very different Mesopotamia is/was from our previous unit, Stone Age. #2: I think you will discover how much impact Mesopotamia has had on our present times. Mesopotamia discovered things that that we still use directly in 2008. Definately forward thinking on their part. We will discover what exactly those discoveries and inventions were as we move throughout the unit.
I thought it would be fitting, at this time, to discuss a little bit together what we have seen on the "Mesopotamia in Lego's" movie so far. Let us ponder (think) what we have seen so far: Irrigation (getting water to areas that normally get water), the Wheel (help with moving heavy objects), Specialization(getting really good at one specific thing), and Food Surplus(having more crops than you need). Keeping those things in mind and keeping in mind what we discussed after watching the "Mesopotamia in Lego's movie", respond to the following:
1. What is irrigation and how did it help the Mesopotamians?
2. Is irrigation still used today? How? Give specific examples.
3. How did the wheel help Mesopotamia?
4. How is the wheel used today? Give 4 specific examples of things that have wheels.
5. Specialization-Getting good at one specific thing. What do you think were some things people Specialized in during Mesopotamia?
6. What do people specialize in today? Give specific answers.
7. What positive effect did Food Surplus have on Mesopotamia?

I appreciate your time and effort on the Blog. You, the Student, makes the Blog what it is. So, Thank you. I firmly believe, as we enter October, we are definately on our way to accomplishing one of our goals this year--to become a Master Blogger.

The Cave of Lascaux-Cave Art



Cave Art can provide many clues into the lives of people living in the Stone Age. We had a great discussion last week about cave art and what the various paintings mean. We looked at paintings and discussed what we saw, what the paintings were trying to tell us, and what we can learn about life in the Stone Age based on the paintings. Artifacts that have been dug up and cave paintings that have been discovered are the two most significant methods of learning about the Stone Age.
I have provided a link for you to click on to further your learning and understanding of cave art. By clicking "The Cave of Lascaux" you will enter a website dealing with various aspects of cave art. After you have arrived at the website, click on "Discover" then click on "Virtual Visit." This site will give you options of various gallerys you can look at to see more cave paintings. Another option: after arriving at the main site, click on "Learn" then click on "Test your knowledge." This is a fun site that provides puzzles of the cave art for you to put together.

Possible comments to post:
1. What is your favorite painting? Why?
2. What you have learned about studying cave art?
3. What does cave art tell us about the Stone Age?

"Before we Ruled the Earth" Discussion


After part 1 of "Before We Ruled the Earth" what do you think so far? I think this movie does a great job giving us a visual of what things may have been like back then. Remember, the movie is based on available scientific evidence, not 100% accurate. Some things we know, but there are a few gaps that need to be filled in with educated guesses. I especially liked the hunt of the Irish Elk, the Challenge of controlling fire, and the successful hunt at the end. Let's discuss some things as we think about "Before We Ruled the Earth":
1. What was the most powerful tool that the neanderthals discovered, a tool so powerful that it changed the course of history forever?
2. How did the neanderthals use this new found tool in hunting? What other uses did it have for these people?
3. What was the challenge the Neadnerthals faced in using fire? How did they solve this problem?
4. Describe how the neanderthals hunted. Is it similar or different than how we hunt today?
5. How does fire impact our lives today? Think about it-the different ways may surprise you.

International Students


Exciting Blog news: We are (hopefully) going to have some guest Bloggers from around the world. I am really excited about the possibility of students from other countries posting comments on our blog and sharing with us what school is like in their particular area. It will be fun to compare what school is like in Brandon, SD to what school is like in other parts of the world. Thank you to Tate pd. 4 for helping me with this.
Students from other countries: This is the post you can post comments to. I would really appreciate it. Thanks!
