Math & Science Monday to Friday -  Math - This week we are going to complete assignments 041 Mixing Paint, Part 2, 042 City Planning, and 044 Practice 6.2.15. Assignments 043 and 045 will be more practice with ratios so that we can wait until after Thanksgiving week to review and prepare for the end of Unit 1 assessment. Science - This week teams are supposed to finish the basic EV3 Robot Educator lessons. By the end of the basic lessons everyone will learn how to move their robot and how to use the sensors. If there is time we will also complete some physical science mini-lessons. Tuesday - Garden Day! (Our classes have garden in the morning.) Friday - Student of the Month assembly at 2:30 pm.  ------------------ Any work that is not completed during class time becomes homework so that students don't fall behind and so that all students can access ALL the learning. Regular HW available for anyone who needs it -  For Math students have a workbook that they can take pages out of to take home for lessons that need more work if they don't get it during class or if they miss due to absence. Students can also finish or go back through any online assignment once we complete it in class on a computer, tablet, or phone. For Science, if students fall behind on their classwork they can catch up at home (if students do not have access to a computer at home, ask Mr. Gonzalez for an alternative activity or assignment). If students want to access the practice quizzes and games on Google Classroom at home, they can work on those as well on computers, tablets, or phones.

Math & Science Monday to Friday -  Math - With no school on Tuesday we will do assignment 038 Disaster Preparedness on Monday, then assignment 039 Balloons on Wednesday. We will work on 040 Practice 6.2.12 on Thursday. Friday we will either do more practice or we will go for assignment 041 Mixing Paint, Part 2. If we do practice on Friday then we will push 041 to next Monday. [Update on 11/11/25: assignment 038 on Monday was more intense than I thought so we will finish it on Wednesday and push everything else to the next day with 039 now on Thursday.]  Science - Teams are still going through the Robot Educator programming lessons and practicing how to program their EV3 robots. That means that we may have to wait until next week to start the sensor activities and lab. Tuesday - No School - Veteran's Day HW - I am sending home another aiEdu Photo and Video Release form (copy linked here) because they have chosen us to professionally video record and they need their updated form signed by parents for this. Please fill it out and sign it as soon as you can so I can collect all those and get them ready. They should be filming us the first or second week of December, right after Thanksgiving Break. ------------------ Any work that is not completed during class time becomes homework so that students don't fall behind and so that all students can access ALL the learning.
