The number of school days we have left this year is down to single digits! As we work hard to finish out the year on a high note, please remind your student to check about missing work! Some grades have dropped lately and time is running out to raise those grades, so your student should be checking about late work and possibly corrections to raise those grades! Grades are always changing, but the most up to date grades can be seen on Skyward/Q, which is accessible for all students and parents.
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 finishing our Oceans and Climate unit. In this unit, we'll focus on the effects of changes in latitude, temperature, wind, the Coriolis effect, and density on regional climate. This week, our specific focus will be heat, along with our final decision about if it's possible for two cities to have the same latitude but different climates. If students still have any late work for this quarter, it needs to be completed ASAP! In math this week, we are finishing Chapter 6! On Monday, we completed Lesson 6.2.3 (Naming Perimeters of Algebra Tiles), along with a review of area from last week. On Tuesday, we will be working on Lesson 6.2.4 (Combining Like Terms), along with an exit ticket at the end of class. Then on Wednesday, we will complete the final lesson of the chapter, Lesson 6.2.5 (Evaluating Variable Expressions). On Thursday, we will wrap up the chapter with a review packet in class, which students should finish for homework if they do not complete it in class. Next week will focus on some review of our entire year in 6th grade math! We have made the switch back to paper homework, so you should be seeing your student completing paper assignments on any night that they have math homework (listed below and on the 6th grade website). Math homework for this week:
Thank you for your continued support and have a wonderful week! Ms Kennell
