Quarter 1, Week 7, 10-14 to 10-18

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

Math & Science

Monday to Friday - 
Math - This week students will take the Unit 1 test on Area and Surface Area then we will start Unit 2 on Ratios! 6B will take the test on Tuesday and 6G will take the test on Wednesday.

Science - Teams should finish building their robots and start the Robot Educator programming lessons on the Lego Mindstorms EV3 app. We are also going to start fish trapping this week! See below for more details.

HW - 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.

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.

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

Fish Trapping if the weather is safe!
6G will set the traps on Tuesday then retrieve the traps on Wednesday to ID and count the fish.

6B will set their traps on Wednesday and retrieve the traps on Thursday to ID and count the fish.
