6G Math & Science

Monday and Thursday - Since laptops weren't really ready for students to start logging in last week, it took a LOT longer for us to get logged in and some students do not have their accounts all setup yet. The good news is that all students were able to use their Math and Science Classcraft accounts and all students joined their Math and Science Google Classrooms! :)

Here's the plan for this week:

  • Students will complete some "getting to know you" activities.
  • We will complete an activity to learn the importance of Math and to review some concepts.
  • Then students will make sure they have their Math and Science Eportfolios setup and that they know how to use Google Sites and add content.
  • We will begin playing some Math and Science games to learn some new concepts and review concepts that they should know by now.
HW - There is no homework this week unless families haven't signed the permission slip and photo release form and signed up for both Ms. Berg's and my Bloomz classes.

Since we will be playing some Math and Science games in class, students might want to play them at home. As parents, know that if your child does that it's because they want to and not because they have to so feel free to limit the amount of time they spend on the computer playing those games because playing at home is NOT required.

If your child signed up for esports I will let them and you know when we will be ready to start meeting in the mornings. It will NOT be this week.
