Happy November! We could definitely tell that students had a busy weekend! Make sure to rest up for the full week that we have coming up! Grades are being entered for Quarter 2, with some students starting to have quite a few missing assignments. As a reminder, grades are always changing, so checking them regularly is a must! Students can also do corrections on any paper to help raise their grades. They should be bringing home graded papers, so ask them about their papers if you aren't seeing them! Once grades are entered online, I make sure to pass them back!
Either last week or today, your student should have brought home an envelope containing their Q1 report card, IAR scores from the spring, and benchmark scores from AimsWeb testing in the fall. If you attended a conference in the last couple of weeks, you received these at the conference. Students should have also brought home an order form for Knightwear. This is your chance to purchase new Knights clothing, which students are encouraged to wear at least on Fridays to show school spirit! Let's get lots of Blue Ridge apparel on Fridays!! The due date for those orders is next Monday, November 8. As a reminder, students who are absent for any reason (quarantined, appointments, sick, etc.) should check out the 6th Grade Google Site each day and complete the posted activities. There will NEVER be a day where students do not have any assigned work. If your student has missed a week or more, they will not have time to get caught up at school and will need to work on the assignments at home. With all of our lessons building on the previous lessons, it is very difficult for students who fall way behind. If your student has missed time, talk with them about their work, which starts by looking at the 6th grade site! This week in math, we are finishing the first half of Chapter 3, wrapping up our work on the relationships between fractions, decimals, and percents. We are also spending a couple of days previewing ratios! This will be a topic we will spend a lot of time on later this year. We will also be taking a mid-unit quiz on Wednesday before moving on to the second half of the chapter. To wrap up the week, Thursday and Friday will be spent reviewing how to add and subtract fractions with unlike denominators. At the end of this post, there will be a list of the homework that is expected to be completed throughout the week. Check it out! You can also see a day by day breakdown of classwork and homework on the 6th grade Google site! This week in science, we'll be continuing our Claim-Evidence-Reasoning and the Scientific Method unit. This week, we will continue working on Lesson 2: The Lab, where we will test the claims made in a paper towel commercial! Steps 4-5 for Lesson 2: The Lab should be completed this week. Math/Science homework this week:
