Just like that, we are heading into Quarter 2! We are having fall dress up days this week, so make sure to take pictures and post them on social media using our school hashtag (#br_u_knighted). Check out some reminders (mostly review) and updates about what we are learning below!
As a reminder, students are still expected to check the 6th grade website every day that they are remote (Silver = Mon/Tues/Wed, Blue = Thurs/Fri/Mon). Grades are also up to date. All students should have their own student access to Skyward/Q to check their grades, so they can pull those up anytime! It is harder to keep track of work while going back and forth on in person and remote days, so it's especially important that students are checking emails, Skyward/Q, the website, and folders to make sure they are getting credit for all of their work! Let's start off Quarter 2 on the right foot and stay all caught up with those assignments! In math this week, we are moving on to the second section of Chapter 2, which focuses on area. We'll be looking at area in general, as well as area of rectangles, area of non-rectangular shapes, and discussing what square units means. Their work on their upcoming remote days will be the 2.2.1 and 2.2.2 Review Preview pages, as well as a two truths/one lie math puzzle packet. In science, students are finishing their work to save a sloth in a zoo from a tree, while also keeping him safe from the alligators under the tree. Students will be working through the design thinking process to brainstorm and create a way to save the sloth! Building for this experiment is optional, since the materials are a little harder to come by, but I'd love to see anything they do create! They will also be taking a small test over our design thinking unit before we move into our next unit next week. General Updates:
Upcoming Dates:
Have a fantastic week! Reach out to any of the teachers if you have questions! Ms Kennell
