This week we are continuing our Classcraft Challenge from last week! Each student was placed in a team on Classcraft, and those teams are being used for the first time in a challenge. After this week, the five teams that earn the most XP will earn a full size candy bar of their choice!
As a reminder, please continue to help support your student with their chromebooks, as some students are still struggling to bring it to school charged on a regular basis, and keep reading 20 minutes of AR each night to meet that AR goal! This week in math, we have continued our work with using a number line with positive and negative numbers, using lessons 3.2.1 and 3.2.2 on CPM. Your student will have math homework on Tuesday (3.2.1 Integer Practice) and Thursday (3.2.1/3.2.2 Additional Integer Practice) this week. If math homework is a struggle in the evenings, consider having your student stay for ASHH (6th grade's after school homework help)! Your student has the opportunity to have a snack and a quiet place to work on homework (and ask questions!). This is also a great opportunity for students to complete chromebook assignments if internet access at home is difficult. ASHH will take place on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 3:10-4:00 in the 6th grade classrooms. Please contact your student's homeroom teacher if your child is planning on staying that day! In social studies this week, we are looking at the geography of Egypt using our TCI lessons (lesson 7). We are busy looking at maps of Egypt, labeling different landmarks, and trying to determine how geography affected the settlement in ancient Egypt. We have completed a geography worksheet and are working on finishing our geography note pages. In spelling, we got behind in our schedule last week, so we are finishing our new lists this week! Students will be completing word sorts, pyramid words, rainbow words, red vowels, and then taking a spelling test the end of the week. All sorts/work is due this Friday (test day). Upcoming dates:
Have a fantastic week! Ms. Kennell
