After a rainy weekend, today was beautiful! I hope everyone had a chance to get outside! As we continue with Quarter 4, please remind your student to check about missing work, especially if they are in a sport!
**IAR testing is coming soon (state testing)!!! Please help us out by making sure your student is fully rested and has a fully charged chromebook! We will be doing some review this week, with our official testing taking place April 19th-21st (next Monday-Wednesday). It is very important that students are at school (on time!) for those days! Thanks! As a reminder, if your student is absent, we will still be updating the 6th grade website daily. Even though we are back in person 5 days a week, that information is helpful for absent students, as well as parents, since it lists what we are working on in class and what students have for homework each night. If students are at home due to an illness or because they have to quarantine, they should use the website, then Google classroom. Emails can be answered as soon as possible, with video calls set up after school if requested. In science this week, we will be starting a new unit: Oceans and Climate. In this unit, we'll focus on the effects of changes in latitude, temperature, wind, the Coriolis effect, and density on regional climate. We'll start this week by completing Lesson 1: The Solve, which looks at a mystery which demonstrates how objects lost at sea can travel across coastlines due to ocean currents. We will also complete our vocabulary notes for the unit and take a vocabulary quiz on Quizizz. If students still have any late work for this quarter, it needs to be completed ASAP! In math this week, we are wrapping up chapter 5. On Monday, we completed CPM Lesson 5.3.4 (Area of Trapezoids), looking at how we can turn trapezoids into parallelograms, so our area formula is similar, with the height being the main difference. On Tuesday, we will be completing our Ch 5 test in class, as well as answering some statistics questions in a Google form. Wednesday, we will be spending a quick day going over mean, median, mode, and range, working through some notes/problems together, as well as some questions based on the data from our Google form. On Thursday, Ms Kennell will be out for a meeting, so students will be working through some practice IAR problems on paper with their teams, with the possibility to earn some prizes! Math homework for this week:
Thank you for your continued support and have a fantastic week! Ms Kennell
