Math & Science Mondays - Garden Day! (Our classes have garden in the afternoon.) Monday to Friday -  Math - This week we will complete the following assignments, 021 Plenty of Polyhedra 022 Practice 6.1.10 023 Practice 6.1.11 024 Practice 6.1.12 025 Face Value The lessons above will bring us to the end of the surface area section of Unit 1. That means that by next Wednesday we will be taking the end-of-unit assessment. Science - This week we will work on the following: Students will take another survey to provide information about what they already know about the topics we are going to be studying in Science. I will be asking about familiarity with Legos and designing and building things, as well as familiarity with robotics and programming robots or other similar items. The survey also contains questions about environmental topics, especially local issues, as we begin to collect data on Chimacum by trapping fish to identify and count them. Then we have an AI activity to learn more about it and especially to determine when, if ever, it's okay to use AI for learning and, more importantly, when to NOT use AI because it will NOT help students learn. Fish Trapping if the weather is safe! 6G will set the traps on Wednesday, then retrieve the traps on Thursday to ID and count the fish. 6B will set their traps on Thursday and retrieve the traps on Friday to ID and count the fish. =================== 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.
