As we prepare to return to four day in person learning, information seems to be constantly changing! 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 (Silver = Mon/Tues/Wed, Blue = Thurs/Fri/Mon). Even after returning to four days in person, students will still be learning remotely on Mondays, with regular video calls! 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, specifically looking at how area and perimeter are connected. We've been looking at area in general, as well as area of rectangles, area of non-rectangular shapes, and discussing what square units means. We've also be working with creating shapes with larger areas but the same perimeter, and vice versa. Blue students will have 2.2.3 Review Preview and a mystery picture as remote work this week. Silver students will be completing those activities in class on Friday. There will be no new work posted on Monday (11/2) and Tuesday (11/3), so students should use that time to make sure they have missing work/corrections completed! In science, students should have completed all work for Mosa Mack Lesson 3, including their test on the design thinking unit. This week, they were working on the vocabulary for our next unit, the Scientific Method and Claim-Evidence-Reasoning (CER). There were vocabulary words and definitions for them to record in their science notebooks, and there is a Quizlet activity for them on Google classroom, which they can use to practice the words!

Have a wonderful week! Reach out to any of the teachers if you have questions! Ms Kennell
