Quarter 2, Week 8, 1-12 to 1-16

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

Math & Science

Monday to Friday - 
Math - Monday we are going to work on pages 292 and 293 in our workbooks, Google Classroom assignment 060 Unit 3 Lessons 1-8 Practice. Then Tuesday we will have our Unit 3 mid-unit quiz, Google Classroom assignment 061, and reflect on the quiz results on Wednesday and add the reflection to eportfolios, assignment 062 Unit 3 Quiz Reflection.

Thursday we will be on testing schedule for the MAP Reading test so I will only have my homeroom class that day. We will have practice for Math then on Friday both classes will work on the next assignment, 063 Lucky Duckies as we start working on percentages!

Science - Last week student teams made progress on their 017 How Sensors Work Lab assignment using the Lab Planning Boards (copy attached to the Google Classroom assignment). Some teams started collecting data last week and the rest will collect data this week.

Once teams collect data they will graph their data to analyze it so they can work on their conclusion. Students will use a CER lab conclusion writing guide to help them analyze their data and craft their conclusions.

Teams that finish early will work on Science Google Classroom assignment 015a. The goal is for all teams to be done by Friday, January 16.


Tuesday - No Garden today. Language MAP (MAP test in Ms. Berg's class only)!


------------------

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.

6G - Mr. Gonzalez's 6th Grade Homeroom Class

Math & Science

Monday to Friday - 
Math - We are going to start on Monday with a 2026 goal-setting assignment. Then we will get back into the swing of things with a ratio table problem string. Students will then complete a problem strings worksheet for review.

For the rest of the week we will do practice sets starting Tuesday, 057 Practice 6.3.05 (we skipped practice 6.3.05 because the One Word activity took the entire time on Monday so we did the problem string practice on Tuesday - the rest of the week did not change), then 058 Practice 6.3.06 on Wednesday, 059 Practice 6.3.07 on Thursday, and 060 Practice 6.3.08 on Friday. Assignments are not available until the day of so they only appear on Google Classroom on the day they are assigned.

Next week we will take the Unit 3 mid-unit quiz on Tuesday.

Science - We are going to continue working on assignment 017 How Sensors Work Lab. Teams are going to plan their lab and set it up to begin collecting data. Then they will write conclusions based on their results. The goal is to complete the entire lab process this week.

Tuesday - No Garden this week.

Science - The deadline for Science Google Classroom assignment 015 Port View was this past Friday so this week we are moving on to assignment 017 How Sensors Work Lab. We will begin by learning a bit more about the sensors so that teams can pick which sensor they want to focus on. Then we will learn how to set up the lab so that students can start their lab and collect data. The goal is to complete the conclusion by Friday.

Tuesday - Garden Day! (Our classes have garden in the morning.)

6G - Mr. Gonzalez's 6th Grade Homeroom Class

Math & Science

Friday's aiEdu video recording went very well and students did a great job thinking about and discussing social companions with AI, the risks and benefits!


Monday to Friday - 

Math - This past Friday students got an extra day to finish reflecting on their Unit 2 End of Unit Assessment and complete their Google Sites Eportfolios. Students who did not finish should finish for homework because we are going to start Unit 3 this week and it is a continuation of our Unit 2 ratios learning.

So we are going to complete assignment 049, 6.3 Pre-Unit Check, on Monday. Then we will work on assignments 050, Counting Classrooms, 051, Pen Pals, 052 Practice 6.3.04, and 053, Model Trains this week. (Assignments show up on the Math Google Classroom the morning we work on them and not earlier.)
NOTE: We did not get to 053 Model Trains so we will do that one on Monday, Dec 15.

Science - This is Computer Science Education Week and we will be doing some activities for what used to be Hour of Code and is now Hour of AI! We are going to complete a Minecraft Education AI lesson and students will also get to choose from a few of Code.Org's Hour of AI lessons! It will be assignment 016 Hour of AI 2025.

Then we will get back to working on the robotics lesson called Port View, assignment number 015 in the Science Google Classroom.

When everyone finishes the Port View assignment we will begin assignment 017 How Sensors Work where teams will choose one EV3 sensor and design a lab with it. 


Tuesday - Garden Day! (Our classes have garden in the morning.)

Monday to Friday - 
Math - This week we are going to complete lessons 11 and 14 on Monday and Tuesday to review what we've been learning in Unit 2. Then Wednesday we will have the Unit 2 end of unit assessment. We are going to take this test on paper to see if students do better on paper then on the computer.

That will be assignments 046, 047, 048, and 049 on Google Classroom (assignments will show up on the day they are completed in class so they cannot be done ahead of time). 

Science - Monday we will have new teams and the new teams are going to start Google Classroom assignment 015 Port View. Students are going to learn about all the EV3 robot sensors so they can select one sensor to complete a Science Lab. We will also have access to the PocketLab Building Atomic Models lessons on Wednesday.

Tuesday - Garden Day! (Our classes have garden in the morning.)

Friday - aiEdu filming happens today at 10 am for 6G and 1 pm for 6B.

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

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.
