Math & Science Monday to Friday -  Math check-in for students to finish any work they did not complete before mid-winter break. We will do a rich task on fractions to get ready for a check in quiz this week. In Science students need to submit anything they got done on their tsunami and/or simple machines webquests so that we can get back to work on our Hydrodynamics Robotics Challenge. Teams need to finish their research and solution ideas so they can get started on building, programming, and testing their robots. Writer's Elective (Monday and Friday only) - We will continue our SEL lessons to gain strategies that will make our school safe and fun for everyone. HW - Catch up on any missing Math work in preparation for check in quiz and finish any Science work from before the mid-winter break.

Math & Science Monday through Friday - No Garden during Math/Science time this month. Math continues with fractions, Unit 2 for 5th grade Bridges and Unit 4 for 6th grade Desmos. Both units deal with fractions so we will all be working on fractions! :) In Science we are going to begin the Hydro Dynamics Challenge with the EV3 Robots. This project will combine our robotics unit with our upcoming environmental unit! Writer's Elective (Monday and Friday only) - We are going to take this time to learn some strategies to help all students have a safe and happy time at recess and so that students can return to class ready to learn. Books are postponed for the time being unless students want to work on them at home. HW - No homework for those who are all caught up. Report cards will be coming home next week!

Last week of the semester!

Math & Science Monday - Science MAP Today! We are starting the day with our homeroom classes unlike we usually do on Mondays to work on the Science MAP assessment. We will have time to meet with both classes after everyone is done testing today and in Math & Science class we are going to work on our robotics unit. Writer's Elective - No Writer's class this week. HW - Students can work on Aleks or Khan Academy for Math practice including the daily Multiplication by Heart, which only takes a minute or two per day. Tuesday & Wednesday -  Math will continue with Unit 2 on Bridges for the 5th graders and Unit 4 on Desmos for the 6th graders. Science we will continue learning how to program the different sensors on the EV3 robots so that we can begin our first challenge. Thursday & Friday - No School

Math & Science Monday through Thursday - Fifth graders and Mr. Gonzalez will be at Islandwood this week and return on Thursday. For Math any 5th graders who did not go to Islandwood will be working on a decimals unit on Khan Academy. Sixth graders will be working on Unit 4, Lessons 3, 4, 5, and 6. For Science everyone will be completing a Tsunami Webquest and a Simple Machines Webquest. Anyone who finishes those two activities can work on some follow-up Science simulations for physical science. Writer's Elective (Monday and Friday only) - Students are ALL working on their short story Book Creator books. HW - No homework this week. Friday -  All the 5th graders and Mr. Gonzalez will be back today! Mr. Gonzalez will check in with the 6th graders and give them today to catch up and finish any missing work while the 5th graders continue working on their Unit 2, Module 1 Bridges workbooks pages. Today we will check in to see what students learned about tsunamis and maybe simple machines if we have time!

Math & Science Monday - Garden Today! Today we will spend most of our class time working on the robotics unit, which right now is building the first robot and to practice programming it. Writer's Elective (Monday and Friday only) - Students are going to continue working on their individual Book Creator books. They are all writing short stories that they will publish online. HW - The main homework is to finish the Math or Science eportfolio reflections if students did not finish them in class.  FYI - Tuesday the following handout was sent home with 6th graders only regarding information about a possible trip to Camp Cispus in June! Tuesday to Friday -  We will be working on Unit 2 in Bridges on fractions and Unit 4 on Desmos on dividing fractions. We will also be working on robotics in Science. Once students complete the programming lessons and know how to program their robots and use the sensors they will start the actual challenge for this year. Student of the Month assembly for December will be happening Thursday at 2 pm. Thursday - On Thursday students will take the ELA Language MAP test in the morning. Then we will have some of our Math and Science in the afternoon after everyone or at least most are done testing. That means only 6G will get Math and Science today and 6B will get ELA/SS with Ms. Berg.
