It's week #2 of the Read-A-Thon! The weather looks to be beautiful this week and we have lots of sports going on at the moment! As a reminder, if your 6th grader is participating in a sport, they must be eligible! Eligibility runs each week on Monday morning, so make sure your student is completing their work and checking in on their grades!! If your student has questions about late work or grades, now is a great time to ask those questions! This week is the final week of Quarter 3.
With the Read-A-Thon, students are encouraged to sign up (parent's do this!), log their reading time, and earn money! It's all filled out and completed online, with the money going towards our PBIS carts, which started back up last week! Many of our 6th graders still have not been signed up, so they cannot record their minutes! As a reminder, if your student is absent, we will still be updating the 6th grade website daily, as well as providing any videos (if necessary). Information also went out recently about the upcoming change to Mondays. We will start back in person on the final Monday before spring break (next Monday!). The plan is still to get out at 2:20 each day. In science this week, we will be continuing our unit on Weather, finishing up Lesson 2: The Make, which we started last week. This week, students will use what we learned about fronts to create short skips to reteach the class about those fronts. We will also finish the exit ticket for Lesson 2. Any old water cycle work or Lesson 1 weather work should be completed as soon as possible. In math this week, we are starting on Chapter 5, which focuses on multiplying fractions, mixed numbers, and decimals, as well as finding area of non-rectangular shapes. On Monday, students should have completed an equivalent ratio pixel art assignment on Google classroom. On Tuesday, we worked CPM Lesson 5.1.1, which looked at diagrams for multiplying fractions. Wednesday will be spent on CPM Lesson 5.1.2, which is about describing parts of parts (fraction multiplication) with words and diagrams. Then on Thursday, we'll complete CPM Lesson 5.1.3, which explores fraction multiplication without the use of diagrams. Much of our fraction work in this chapter should be review from last year. Math homework for this week:
Thank you for your continued support and have a fantastic week! Ms Kennell
