Welcome back! We're excited to see the students, get back in a routine, and start Quarter 3 strong! Grades have started over, and report cards for Quarter 2 should be sent home at the end of the week. As a reminder, the 6th grade website is the best place to look for daily directions, reminders, and updates about learning! This is also where your student should start each day that we are remote or when they are absent for any reason.
This week in math, we are focusing on reviewing last semester and working on our teamwork skills! On Tuesday, we completed a creative math project focused on the number 2022, completed a teambuilder, and logged in to a new math website, Boddle! On Wednesday, we'll be reviewing enlargements and reductions, as well as taking a quiz over them. Then students will work on a desmos activity related to ratios, fractions, decimals, and percent (Des-Farm). Thursday will be spent reviewing improper fractions and mixed numbers by completing an escape room, and then completing a Desmos Mixed Number Challenge online. Then on Friday, we'll be finishing any remaining work with our Desmos activities from this week, as well as working on some teambuilder activities! 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 unit on genetic variations! In the third lesson (Lesson 2: Lab), we'll be creating two alien families in order to explore the processes and outcomes of genetic variation. One alien family will produce sexually and one will reproduce asexually to model both reproductive ways. We'll also be making a family tree to represent those families. It should be a lot of fun! We will need part of next week to finish this lesson. Math/Science classwork/homework this week:
