Quarter 3, Week 3, 2-26 to 3-1

6B - Ms. Berg's 5/6 Homeroom Class
6G - Mr. Gonzalez's 6th Grade Homeroom Class

Math & Science

Monday to Friday - 
Math check-in for students to finish any work they did not complete before mid-winter break. We will do a rich task on fractions to get ready for a check in quiz this week.

In Science students need to submit anything they got done on their tsunami and/or simple machines webquests so that we can get back to work on our Hydrodynamics Robotics Challenge. Teams need to finish their research and solution ideas so they can get started on building, programming, and testing their robots.

Writer's Elective (Monday and Friday only) - We will continue our SEL lessons to gain strategies that will make our school safe and fun for everyone.


HW - Catch up on any missing Math work in preparation for check in quiz and finish any Science work from before the mid-winter break.

Email me or message me on Classdojo with any questions.

Math continues with fractions, Unit 2 for 5th grade Bridges and Unit 4 for 6th grade Desmos. Both units deal with fractions so we will all be working on fractions! :)

In Science we are going to begin the Hydro Dynamics Challenge with the EV3 Robots. This project will combine our robotics unit with our upcoming environmental unit!

Writer's Elective (Monday and Friday only) -
We are going to take this time to learn some strategies to help all students have a safe and happy time at recess and so that students can return to class ready to learn. Books are postponed for the time being unless students want to work on them at home.
