Math & Science Monday - No School - Staff Professional Development Day Tuesday to Friday -  Math - This week we are going to do some practice lessons before we take the end of unit 3 assessment on Friday. Tuesday we will do Math Google Classroom assignment 069 Practice 6.3.03, Wednesday 070 Practice 6.3.09, and Thursday, 071 Practice 6.3.12. Science - Most teams still need to finish their sensor lab conclusions so we will spend some time finishing those up. Then we will do some motion sensor experiments with the EV3 ultrasonic sensors before we start our Potential Energy Efficiency Design projects! Tuesday - Garden Day! (Our classes have garden in the morning.) ------------------ 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.

Math & Science Monday to Thursday -  Math - This week the plan is to complete the following assignments in the Math Google Classroom, one per day as they become available each day, Monday 066 Cost Breakdown, Tuesday 067 More Bicycle Goals, Wednesday 068 A Country as a Village, and Thursday 069 6.3 Practice Day 2 in the Math workbooks, pages 339 to 340. Science - Monday teams need to finish graphing their data (teams that did not get their experiment done in time will use the shared data I added to the Science Google Classroom assignment 017 How Sensors Work Lab - the shared data is for an experiment testing different shades of blue to see how the color sensor on reflective mode adapts). Then we will start writing our conclusions using the CER, Claim, Evidence, Reasoning, format. Once we are all done with the lab we will begin our robotics project, the Potential Energy Efficiency Design Project! That project will also be presented as our first official Starfleet mission for our class Star Trek theme game. Tuesday - Garden Day! (Our classes have garden in the morning.) Friday - No School - Semester Break as our 1st Semester Ends Also no School on Monday for a staff development day! ------------------ Here is a link to the playlist I'm working on with Math videos showing the strategies and models students are learning in class: Math Support And here is an infographic I made with NotebookLM, using only the two videos I recorded to help with the Unit 3 quiz, showing students the three-step method for solving ratio problems:  ------------------ 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.

Science - Thursday both classes will take the Science MAP test in my classroom during Math & Science time only. Teams need to finish their sensor labs so that we can graph and analyze the data to write conclusions. We will try to get conclusions written by Friday. ------------------ 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.

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. Tuesday - No Garden today.

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.

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.) ------------------ 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.
