Welcome to our 6th Graders’ Enchanted Village!

From our 6th Grade Teacher, Ms. Sarah Hoisl…The theme of the Grade 6 Enchanted Village is old fashioned. Each of the students picked a building that would be set up in an olden day village to make. This was however a very extensive project in math. They had to find the area of the front of the building, the volume of the building, the perimeter, along with hiring a painter and find the total amount of money to pay the painter. Then finally, they had to create an addition to the house and find the area of that. They did a phenomenal job. They did a number of different buildings from a firehouse, to a police station, candy shop, church, school, etc. To make it even more fun for the children, we also created a Scavenger Hunt for the students to go through the village and complete a sheet with 21 questions to note what they found. Some of the questions were… What is in the window of the firehouse? In what shop is there a Christmas tree in the window? What is your favorite building? Each class took turns visiting this Enchanted Village and were very excited to see for themselves this special class project made by the 6th graders. Shout out to all of our 6th graders and their teacher, Ms. Hoisl! All of us at South Boston Catholic Academy would like to take this time to wish everyone a Happy and Healthy New Year!
