First week of Quarter 4, first week of 5 days in person, and last week before Spring Break!3/16/2021 It is a busy week!! Quarter 4 kicked off with our first week of 5 days in person, and it's our final week before Spring Break. Report cards for Quarter 3 will be sent home this Friday. Our current work will be going on Quarter 4 grades, so please remind your student to check about missing work, especially if they are in a sport!
Our Read-A-Thon has ended, but donations can still be accepted for a couple more days. If your student received donations in their honor, they will be able to cash in a small portion for prizes online. Those prizes must be chosen before the end of spring break. Students who signed up for the Read-A-Thon have earned a PJ day for Friday and students who logged at least 300 minutes of reading will get a cafeteria cookie too! We also had a goal of 30 positive office referrals on the intermediate side of the building before the end of the quarter, which we met! For meeting that goal, the students have earned an ice cream and movie party, which we'll be doing Friday afternoon in 6th grade. 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. In science this week, we will be taking a short break before ending our Weather unit after spring break. Our Friday will look a little different this week due to the ice cream/movie reward. After spring break, we will finish our unit by completing Lesson 3: The Engineer. Students will be using their work with weather and fronts to try to forecast the weather for a selected area. After, we'll take the unit test before moving on to our next unit! Any old weather work should be completed as soon as possible. In math this week, we are finishing the first part of Chapter 5 before heading off for spring break. On Monday, we used our background knowledge on generic rectangles and multiplying fractions to figure out two ways to multiply mixed numbers (which can also be used to multiply decimals). On Tuesday, we took some notes on multiplying decimals and then practiced with a Quizizz assignment. Wednesday will be spent completing notes on dividing decimals and a practice on Quizizz. Then on Thursday, we'll be completing a team quiz before playing a decimal operation game! After break, we'll move into the final part of chapter 5, which focuses on area of non-rectangular shapes. Math homework for this week:
Thank you for your continued support and have a wonderful week! Ms Kennell
