Quarter 2, Week 10, 1-27 to 1-31

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

Math & Science

Last week of the first semester!


Monday to Wednesday - 

Math - This week we will complete lessons 11 and 12 then practice some more. We will wait until next week, the start of Semester 2, to finish Unit 3 on Ratios, Unit Rates, and Percentages and take the Unit 3 assessment.

Science - We will continue learning about potential and kinetic energy as well as learn how to use Tinkercad to create 3D objects before student teams start planning their robotic builds.

Tuesday - Garden Day! (Our classes have garden in the afternoon.)

Thursday and Friday - NO SCHOOL for students, Thursday is a teacher work day and Friday is the semester break.


------------------

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 need 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.

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.
Email me or message me on Classdojo with any questions.

Math & Science

Winter MAP Testing Schedule for this week: 
Monday - Language MAP (6G will have Math & Science today)
Wednesday - Reading MAP (6B will have Math & Science today if there's time)
Friday - Math MAP (If 6B got enough time Wednesday then 6G will get Math & Science time today.)


Regular Schedule - 

Math - Students will check their Unit 3 mid-unit quiz and reflect on how they did to keep track of what they still need to learn. Then we will continue with Unit 3 Lesson 8 (6.3.8).

Science - We decided to continue the Minecraft Education energy transfer build competitions so we will have our semi-final matches then the finals match to see which team in both classes will emerge victorious and get their build 3D printed! Then we will begin the Potential Energy Design Robotics project planning and research phase. Students will also learn how to use TinkerCad to create 3D models for 3D printing.
