6B - Ms. Berg's 6th Grade Homeroom Class
6G - Mr. Gonzalez's 6th Grade Homeroom Class

Math & Science

Monday to Friday - 
Math - This week students are going to see how to figure out the area of polygons using the area formulas now that they have had experience seeing how to figure out the area of parallelograms and triangles.

Science - Once students finish their character card book entry and start organizing their eportfolio we will begin our science robotics unit!


HW - 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.

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).

6G - Mr. Gonzalez's 6th Grade Homeroom Class

Math & Science

Monday - No School - Labor Day!

Tuesday through Friday - Starting on Day 1 with a class intro then we are going to jump right into a great STEM lab: The SLIME Lab!

On Day 2 teams will choose a variable to change to see what happens to their slime! A great way to experiment, learn some Science & Engineering Practices and see what happens to slime!

After the lab kids will start to learn the routines of our Math and Science class, which includes joining our Google Classroom classes and setting up their Math and Science electronic Google Sites portfolios.

That should get us through week 1.


HW - Read through our 6th Grade class syllabus because if you have any questions, the answers are there!

If your child wants to play esports this year, fill out the esports packet and computer check out form.
