Good afternoon! Happy second week of March! I hope everyone had a wonderful weekend! If you are interested in the possibility of being a chaperone for our 6th grade field trip (May 6), please send back the slip on your student's information sheet.
This week in math, we are finishing our last two lessons in chapter 5, which focuses on finding the area of triangles and trapezoids. Monday was spent on finishing lesson 5.3.3 (area of triangles), Tuesday and Wednesday will be on 5.3.4 (area of trapezoids), Thursday will be spent on some area work on our chromebooks using Desmos, and on Friday we will be reviewing for our chapter five test. We will have our test on Monday (3/16/20)! This week, students will have homework on Monday (5.3.3 Review Preview), Wednesday (5.3.4 Review Preview), and Thursday (Chapter 5 review packet). Students should also be working on corrections and late/absent work (all work from lesson 5.3.2 and before must be turned in by Friday for credit)! Our class homework challenge is still going, so please encourage your students to complete their homework on time to help their class win! This week in social studies we are starting a huge Egypt project. Students were introduced to the hypderdoc today, with most of the work taking place on chromebooks (with headphones!). There will be a final "create" project after the hyperdoc, with more information coming at a later date. This project will take us at least until spring break! In spelling, students received their new lists today, so all work should be completed (at home) by next Friday, March 20, with spelling tests taking place on that day as well. IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENTS! AR:
Have a wonderful week! Ms Kennell Good afternoon! Happy March! The temperatures are rising and track season has begun, so spring is in the air!
This week in math, we are continuing with our last section in chapter 5, which focuses on finding the area of different shapes, usually by rearranging the area into rectangles. Monday and Tuesday will be spent on lesson 5.3.1 (rearranging areas), Wednesday and Thursday on 5.3.2 (area of a parallelogram), and beginning 5.3.3 (area of a triangle) on Friday. If everything progresses as planned, we should be finished with chapter 5 by Thursday of next week, with a test following! This week, students will have homework on Tuesday (5.3.1 Review Preview) and Thursday (5.3.2 Review Preview). Students should also be working on corrections and late/absent work! We finished our math homework challenge for the month of February with the following percentages of homework turned in on time: 6K-74%, 6A-64%, and 6L-73%. Ms Kennell's homeroom barely won the Krispy Kreme donuts! Since the students are enjoying it so much, we are continuing again in March! Please encourage your students to complete their homework on time to help their class win! This week in social studies we are finishing our work on how the daily life of Egyptians was influenced by their social class. Students are working in groups to create a visual display, which they will share with their classmates before completing the note pages. They will have a lesson packet to complete as well. We will be getting ready to start another project later this week. In spelling, students received their new lists last week, so all work should be completed (at home) by this Friday, March 6, with spelling tests taking place on that day as well. IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENTS! AR:
Have a fantastic week! Ms Kennell |
