Math & Science Monday to Thursday -  Math - Early in the week we will work on Math Google Classroom assignment 115 Practice 6.6.16. Then we will practice until Thursday when student will take the Math MAP test (Tuesday students will take the Reading MAP test and my homeroom will have Math and Science at the end of the day while on Thursday Ms. Berg's homeroom will have Math and Science at the end of the day). Science - Monday all teams will rotate through flying one of our drones to take aerial photos and videos of our creek area as well as our school gardens. Then we will continue learning how to graph our water quality data so that parameter teams can analyze their data and prepare their presentations to teach the rest of the class. Teams that finish early will take the Wayground Science quizzes to prepare for next week's Science MAP test on Thursday, May 28. Once teams are ready, they will present and teach their classmates all about the parameter they learned and collected data on and graphed and analyzed. Tuesday - Reading MAP test (no garden today). Wednesday - We will have our ASB elections in the morning. After lunch 6th graders will have Day 2 of the transition to 7th grade activities. Thursday - Math MAP test.  Friday - No School - Snow Make Up Day that we never used.

Math & Science This week -  Math - We are going to complete Google Classroom assignment 112 Turtles All The Way on Monday then Tuesday we will work on 113 Representing Relationships, Thursday we will work on 114 Practice 6.6.15. Science - After water quality testing on Monday and Tuesday, also on Wednesday, we will continue to work on learning the water quality parameters and preparing the presentations to teach the rest of the class (each team will be teaching the rest of their classmates their water quality parameter). Everyone is graphing their team's data so that all students learn how to graph data. This activity follows and perfectly matches our Representing Relationships Math assignment that shows the Math of recording data into a table with the independent (manipulated) variable on the first column and the dependent (responding) variable on the second column. Then we use ordered pairs to plot points on a graph where the independent variable is on the x-axis and the dependent variable is on the y-axis! Tuesday - Garden Day! (Our classes have garden in the morning.) Wednesday - We will finish Math assignment 113 and then start graphing our water quality data in the morning because from 1:30 to 2:20 sixth graders will be working on some transitioning to grade 7 activities with our school counselors, Ms. Krystal and Mr. Lee. Friday - Today will be Human Growth and Development lessons day. Ms. Berg and I will be doing the lessons in our classes with the girls in Ms. Berg's room and the boys in my room. Today is a half day so students will be dismissed at 12:15 pm to get ready for any Rhody activities. Water Quality Testing Monday and Tuesday we will go down to the creek access point under the bridge that is on the way towards Cenex from the school. There, students will collect water quality data with our Vernier sensors and probes. =================== 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 Friday -  Math - This week we are going to work on the performance task practice packet that I printed for all 6th graders. This will give them an idea of the type of thinking and problem solving and writing they will need to do on Thursday's Math SBA PT test. Then, with the time we get the rest of the week, we will work on the following assignments from the Math Google Classroom: 112 Turtles All the Way. Science - This week we are going to continue going down to the creek to get water quality. Students are going to be recording their data on our class spreadsheet to analyze and look for patterns. Once students get used to going down and collecting data, we will add two drones for us to get aerial photos and video of our creek where we collect data. Tuesday - Garden Day! (Our classes have garden in the morning.) Water Quality Testing On days that the weather is safe, we will go down to the creek access point under the bridge that is on the way towards Cenex from the school. There, students will collect water quality data with our Vernier sensors and probes. =================== 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 finish the Math Google Classroom assignment 110 Squares and Cubes because we got about halfway on Friday. Then we will work on some expressions and equations review games on testing days. Science - Last week it took the whole week to clean up and get the robotics kits ready for next year, so this week we will finish getting the kits ready as quickly as we can, so we can start learning to use the water quality testing equipment and start going to the creek. I will have a guest teacher sub for me on Tuesday, so we will most likely take our first trip to the creek on Thursday. Tuesday - Garden Day! (Our classes have garden in the morning.)
