Math & Science Monday through Friday -  Math - Fifth graders finished Bridges Unit 1 last Thursday so we started taking the Unit 1 assessment. Students who did not get to finish last week will get more time this week to finish their assessment. Once 5th graders are done with their assessment they will reflect on what they learned and what they still need to learn on their eportfolio before we start Unit 2 on fractions. Sixth graders are finishing Unit 6 this week so they will take their Unit 6 assessment then reflect on what they learned and what they still need to learn on their eportfolios before we move on to the next unit on dividing fractions, Unit 4. Science - We are done with the Coding in Minecraft courses so that we can move on to our Robotics Unit. Students who did not finish all seven lessons can still work on those at home to get their badge certification of completion. Students will reflect on what they learned on their eportfolios before we start the Robotics Unit. Writer's Elective (Monday and Friday only) - We are done with our 9/11 Class Book! Click here to check it out. The next phase for students is to learn some of the elements of stories to write their own short story and publish their own book! HW - Once students are done with their Math end of unit assessments this week there is no other homework for Math except for working on Aleks two or three days this week. For Science if students could work on the practice Science Quizizz, that would be great. No homework over Winter Break - just have a happy holiday season! Wednesday - Secure in place drill today at 9 am. Thursday - Student of the month assembly at 2 pm.

Math & Science Monday to Friday - For Math 5th graders are almost done with Unit 1 Bridges. We will have the Unit 1 test once we're done this week. Sixth graders are getting close to finishing Unit 6 on Desmos. They will have their Unit 6 test once they are done. Probably not this week so hopefully we can finish next week. For Science this is the last week for students to work on their Coding in Minecraft courses. Those who complete lessons 1 through 7 will get their Introduction to MakeCode 3.0 badge certification. Next week we will start our robotics unit! Writer's Elective (Monday and Friday only) - We're almost done with our 9/11 book, we did NOT have Writer's Elective last Friday because of the dance so our book is not done yet! Those who are done are working on learning the elements of good stories to write a short story to make a book of their own. HW - Kids who can practice at home can work on Aleks for Math and the practice Quizizz that I prepared for Science. Sixth graders can also access all the Unit 6 Desmos lessons we've already finished to make sure they are ready for the Unit 1 test.
