Math & Science Mondays - Garden Day! (Our classes have garden in the afternoon.) Monday to Friday -  Math - This week we will complete the following assignments, 009 Off the Grid, Part 1 010 Practice 6.1.06 011 Triangles and Parallelograms 012 Off the Grid, Part 2 013 Pile of Polygons Science - This week we will complete setting up our class characters to create the character cards for our ePortfolios. Students will also get access to their starship portal where they can keep track of their points (XP), class ranks for teamwork, team roles, and also to more easily check on completed and missing assignments. Students all got an email and instructions showing them how to message me that they completed work late so that I can update their points and know exactly what each student has actually completed. Google Classroom assignments: 007 Beginning of Our Voyages 008 Can you recreate an image? 009 Starship Avatar Character Card Assignments 010, 011, and 012 have work for students who finish classwork early and have no missing assignments to work on. Sometimes we will do one of those as a whole-class activity, too. If we get through all that in time, we might be able to start our next lab activity about bees and bee pollen. Either that or we will work on an AI in the classroom Pear Deck activity to learn about AI and when it is not a good idea to use for learning. =================== Any work that is not completed during class time becomes homework so that students stay caught up 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 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 review any online assignment once we complete it in class on a computer, tablet, or phone. The workbook will stay at home, and students can rip out completed pages for me to check for accuracy. 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 Thursday -  Math & Science - We will be welcoming students this week as we set up our classroom routines and review expectations. We will also be having some fun in Math and Science as students work together in their small groups to solve The Mystery of the Missing Regulator! Students will set up their Math and Science notebooks, which will stay in room 410 so they do not have to carry anything in their backpack. Students who need extra work at home can have an Amplify Desmos Math workbook to take home and leave at home. By Wednesday or Thursday, we will begin using the Amplify Desmos Math curriculum to complete the Getting to Know You Lesson and the Pre-Unit Check. In Science, once teams solve the mystery of the missing regulator and find out who stole it, we will complete a Balloon Rockets lab. That should take us through to the end of this week. Friday - No School today or Monday (Labor Day) HW -  Students were sent home with our 6th Grade Class Syllabus Packet. Please look through it because it answers a lot of questions we routinely get.  Fill out and sign pages 16 and 18 - then separate pages 15 and 16, and 17 and 18, and send those back to school with your child.

Math & Science Monday and Tuesday -  Math and Science - Monday and Tuesday, we will be doing some getting ready for NatureBridge activities, mostly in Ms. Berg's class, and on Monday at 2:30, when kids meet their HS camp counselors. For Math and Science, teams will continue either to finish their water quality claim, evidence, reasoning conclusions, or to work on their Peace with Nature project. As students finish their conclusions, they will transition right to the Peace with Nature project, where teams are building 3D virtual representations of ideas they come up with for solving sustainability problems, such as water pollution. Tuesday - Garden Day! This week, students are using the flour they ground from wheat into dough for pizzas! They will make their pizzas next Tuesday. :) NatureBridge, Wednesday to Friday - A handout is coming home today with reminders for getting kids ready for Wednesday morning. We will leave from school after breakfast, around 9:30 am. Those who are staying behind and coming to school will be placed in one of the other classrooms with work to complete from Ms. Berg and me. If 6th graders are not attending school, they can take their work home on Tuesday at the end of the day. Please plan to pick up your 6th grader on Friday, June 12, at the parking lot. Our buses should be getting back from camp around 3 pm.
