Tomato juice and similes

Did you know that tomato juice is the state beverage of Ohio?  The intermediate and upper units of McGuffey know that and much more about the state of Ohio as we explore Ohio History. We have looked back into Ohio’s earliest people, how our area developed and became a state, Ohio’s involvement in the Civil War and what Ohio is now.

The 6th grade is concentrating on developing a resolution for OMUN (Ohio’s Model United Nations). We have discovered some very interesting “problems” facing Montenegro.

In Language Arts we are developing our skills to be better writers. We are learning to “spice up” our words by using dialogue, simile, personification, onomatopoeia, etc. Be on the look out for our “wonderful writers”!
