Mrs. Douglas's Sixth Grade



    Ms. Douglas is a wonderful teacher! She is a very patient teacher. If we are having a bad day, she will let us go and take a break. Ms. Douglas knows so much about history.  She has us do presentations in social studies. She loves bringing us on field trips. We are going on the best field trip at the end of the school year, we get to go to Canada! We have an amazing class and Ms. Douglas just makes it better. We always have fun in her class. She helps us keep organized. Ms. Douglas's class raises the flag every morning.

    We have five main classes. For science, we are with Ms. Elson. For math, we are with Mr. Stapleford. For social studies, we have Ms. Douglas. We also have her for writing and the kids in the Hatchet reading group have her for reading. Mr. Stapleford has the reading group Where The Red Fern Grows.  Mrs. Shields has another reading group working with the book Hatchet.

    The 6th grade has been taking a lot of field trips this year. It has been very educational, but it has been a lot of fun! Some of the field trips we are looking forward to is the Canadian trip; also the night where we spend the night at school. Awesome! Field trips that we have been on this year are Maritime Museum, canoeing,  Little Otter Creek, and Rye, New Hampshire  to go on a whale watch.

         Right now Ms. Douglas  is planning the Canadian trip. She is making sure we have activities and a hotel to sleep in. In  Canada, we will visit a lot of museums and travel to different places in Canada.  On our field trip sleeping at the school, we have  lanterns that we made and we cook our food over a fire. We take a midnight walk, and sleep in tents all night.

    We have 6 specials: Physical Education,  Spanish,  Music, Art, Guidance, Technology, and Library.  P.E is taught by Mrs. Wilson.  We do things like the mile run,  soccer, and skiing in the winter. First we always take a lap around the soccer field or we run to a song around the gym. Then we stretch for 4 minutes. We also have art which is run by Mrs. Parsons. So far this year we have done: self portraits, whale pictures, whale sculptures, and now we are working on barn pictures.  We have Spanish and Guidance half of the year.  Mrs. Stapleford teaches Spanish and Mrs. Danzig is our guidance counsellor . Music is taught by our  fun teacher Ms. Whiting.  She teaches chorus too. Last, but not least, we have Mrs. Thurber. She is our technology teacher. We do research, keyboarding, spreadsheets, presentations, and fun games. She is the one to thank for this website.
   
    We have a lot of great food at FCS. We always have options at lunch, one is always vegetarian.  We always have great choices and they are healthy, too. We have a composting program that we do each day after lunch. We have 4 bins for collecting after lunch.  One is for trash, one is for the milk bottles that we keep so we can recycle them. Another bin is for silverware and the last bin is the compost bin. What we do is we collect all of the food scraps that have not been eaten and then the kindergarten takes it down to the compost shed. Then the 5th grade teacher, Ms. Elson, puts sawdust or leaves, then horse manure and it is a long process. All in all we love to make our own rich soil. In the spring, we will put the soil onto our school garden. We use all of our garden in our lunch program. We also use as many local foods as we can in the school cafeteria.

    We love being in Ms. Douglas's class! Well, that's all folks! :)
