In Language Arts we drew our version of our own brain. There were lots of creative brain drawings. In most of the brain drawings there were some short blurbs about highlights in 6th Grade. It was really fun drawing my brain in class because no one can critique you on what your brain looks like. In the end it came out pretty awesome. Take a look!
This is totally awesome that students at Durham Academy get iPads this year! We are the first Durham Academy middle school students to have iPads for this year. For Spanish we use the mobile version of Google Translate and for browsers we have Safari, Google, and Google Chrome. We also have: Reminders, Evernote, Calendar, Mail, Keynote, Blogsy, Kindle App, Nook App, Pages, Google Drive, Comic Life, Google Drive MindMeister. These are the apps I use the most every day.

Currently in the class of Language Arts at Durham Academy in the 6th Grade we are reading The Giver. This gifted man can give away memories to anyone and if I were him I would give away the memory of laughing. I would do this because I laugh a lot every day and it is a great memory to, yes, even give away.

If all classes at Durham Academy had an idealistic teacher there would be no pain, choices, pressure or fear. If all teachers were ideal school would be a lot different. There would be no due date for projects, or homework assignments and lots of games. I would really enjoy having an ideal teacher!
A few days ago all 6th Grade students and advisors went to to serve our community of North Carolina. My Advisory went to a place in Carboro called TABLE. TABLE is a place where people all over the world bring in food for kids in Carboro schools that don’t have enough food to eat over the weekend.
TABLE has a great staff and they explained everything to our advisory when we went inside. First, we weighed the food and did a lot of math in doing so, then we checked the expiration dates on the items and put food that was not expired in one pile and expired in the other pile. Then we put all the foods onto a yellow cart and put the foods into bins by the shelves. The total amount of food weighed was 260.5 pounds! My experience was a great one knowing that I am helping people by bringing in food and organizing it, but the best part was doing it with staff and my good friends.

In my opinion I think The Westing Game test was pretty easy except the Trading Cards, which took me a long time to fill out the rest of the back. Otherwise The Westing Game test was easy and I think it would have been a lot different if we tried the 7 page version without Trading Cards.
Our 6th Grade classes made Hero Books that were put in the Frank Gallery in Chapel Hill. My favorite part of making the books was putting the cool patterns onto the paper because we could make any color of the pattern. If I did it again I would chose my grandmother Susan.
