Wednesday - 6B

Thursday - 6G
Friday - 6B

6G Math & Science Monday and Thursday - Students who are still not done with 1.2 Exercises will finish that before moving on to the 1.3 exercises. We already reviewed order of operations, which is the topic of 1.3, so students will work on the exercises to see if they still remember how to use PEMDAS. Before moving on to 1.4 students will complete a 1.1 to 1.3 quiz to make sure they remember what we've learned so far. In Science some teams are still working on the Lego Mindstorms Programming assignment. By this week teams should finish the Lego Mindstorms Programming  assignment if they have not yet finished it and begin the next assignment called Sensabot. Teams who finish the Sensabot challenge will move on to the Maze Runner challenge this week! Monday 12:30 to 1:15 pm - Garden Time

6B 5/6 Math & Science Tuesday, Wednesday, and Friday - Sixth graders are going to learn about exponents for sections 1.2. Then they will work on the 1.2 exercises, the evens only, on a Google Form. If they get them mostly correct, they can move on but if they get too many wrong we will re-teach so they can do the odds and check their answers on the back of the book. Once everyone is done with 1.2, we will learn about Order of Operations using PEMDAS for section 1.3. Fifth graders need to correct up to page 11 to see if they are getting it. Then they will play the multiples game on page 12 to then work on pages 13 and 14. Fifth graders will practice their 4 and 6 times tables before we begin working on pages 15 through 19 of Unit 1, Module 3. If 5th graders cannot come to school and no one can come to pick up their workbook, I can send them a digital version and they can write answers on paper and just bring the paper to school for me to correct! In Science almost all teams are working on the Lego Mindstorms Programming assignment (we still have a few working on Port View). The goal this week is still to finish the Lego Mindstorms Programming assignment and begin working on the Sensabot challenge. Teams who complete the Sensabot challenge will move on to the Maze Runner challenge this week! Friday 12:30 to 1:15 pm - Garden Time Wednesday is centers day! In the last 2 hours of the day during Science, each team participates in a different experience either building or solving puzzles. One team even explores the world of VR with Oculus Quest 2 headsets! Each class will cycle through all six centers during our Wednesday Science time every other week.

Here is a video I made for kids who have to quarantine or who go on vacation so they know what to do to keep up with Math and Science: 

Email Mr. Gonzalez with any questions or parents contact Mr. G via Bloomz and students can message Mr. G on Classcraft.
