Math & Science Monday to Friday -  Math - We are going to start the week with Google Classroom assignment 088 Missing Digits. By Wednesday we should be taking the Unit 5 Quiz so students can see how they are getting the addition and subtraction of decimals. Science - This week we have a lot of cool things happening! Monday students will get our annual History of Chimacum Creek lesson by the North Olympic Salmon Coalition (NOSC). Then Thursday NOSC will bring water and rocks from Chimacum Creek's HJ Carroll location so that we can look for and identify benthic macroinvertebrates to determine the biological integrity of the creek. Then Friday we will complete some fun creek restoration activities at Finnriver Farms. We will walk over after lunch and stay there until the end of the day. Students will return in time to catch the bus. Tuesday - Today 6B will get to play their first game with kids from Herrera Elementary School in Fresno, CA! They will be competing to build the best Minecraft version of the Statue of Liberty.  Garden Day today, too! (Our classes have garden in the afternoon.) ------------------ 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. 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.

Math & Science Monday to Friday -  Math - This week we are starting Unit 4 on dividing fractions! Since we are taking an entire unit to learn about dividing fractions using the "trick" to get an answer is not the focus. Students will learn what dividing fractions means and what it looks like with different examples. Reasoning and figuring out the Math is what's important here and not just getting the answer. Answer getting without understanding the Math is not very helpful in the long run. Science - This week we will check in on our Sally Ride EarthKAM booked images to see different places on Earth from 258 miles high! Last week students booked a camera on the International Space Station (ISS) to take photos of places on Earth along its orbits! Students got to choose what they wanted to see and this week we will start to get the images from the ISS so that we can view them and download them! Then we will continue the learning and planning phase of the robotics Potential Energy Efficiency Design Challenge. Students will be learning how to use TinkerCad to build 3D objects in case they get ideas for things we can print for their robots. Tuesday - Garden Day! (Our classes have garden in the afternoon.) ------------------ 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.
