Welcome back to four days of in person learning! It was definitely different having everyone here at the same time, but we will adjust! It almost felt like a first day of school all over again!
Make sure you are checking in on your student's progress and following Blue Ridge information using the app! 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, which is currently just Mondays. 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! Quarter 2 is off to a quick start, so check out those grades and stay all caught up with those assignments! In math this week, we are continuing to work on area, but now looking at how area and base ten blocks connect with the area model for multiplication that they learned in 5th grade. We will use this same method, but CPM calls it the generic rectangle, since we will use it to multiply a variety of types of numbers this year. We are also spending some time reviewing prime and composite numbers and prime factorization. On Wednesday, we worked on a prime factorization escape room. On Thursday, we will work through CPM Lesson 2.3.1. Then on Friday, we will review prime factorization a little more, as well as area/perimeter of composite figures. Math Homework for this week:
In science, students should have completed the 13 vocabulary words in their notebooks from last Monday, as well as all old Mosa Mack work. We will be moving on to the Scientific Method/CER Unit next Monday. There is a Quizlet activity for them on Google classroom, which they can use to practice the words! They will need to sign up for an account in order to access all of the words and activities. General Updates:
Upcoming Dates:
Have a fantastic week! Reach out to any of the teachers if you have questions! Ms Kennell
