6th Grade SUCCESS---AFTER SCHOOL PROGRAM 

We are extremely lucky to have an after-school program called SUCCESS!!! Mrs. Larson will be holding SUCCESS every Wednesday (excluding Yellow and Red days) each week from 3:10-4:00 pm in Room 607. Students may use this opportunity to complete homework, take/retake tests, catch up on missed assignments or simply receive extra help in any subject!!! Please encourage your student to take advantage of this great program and be a Successful 6th Grader!!!    

**Remember parents are responsible for your child's transportation home. Thank you.

LANGUAGE ARTS: 

Well done all!  We have finished ISAT testing.  (Unless your child still needs a make-up.)  This week, we'll take a look at how reading can open doors for us.  Students will be given an outline of expectations for this mini-unit and select books to read.

MATH: 

This week students are taking the first part of their Math ISAT on Monday/Tuesday.  Later in the week students will explore different strategies for dividing fractions.  There will be homework on Wednesday/Thursday, but NO homework will be assigned Monday/Tuesday.  On Friday, students will continue to progress through Imagine Math.  By the end of Friday, students should have passed at least 4 lessons.  If they are behind, they need to get caught up at home. 

I will be taking Wednesdays and Thursdays off from now until I go on maternity leave (which will hopefully happen sooner than later 😉).  I'm excited and relieved to have Miss Rongen covering for me during my absence.  As we make this transition, please know we both want to do what's best for your child.  Should you have any questions or concerns, please don't hesitate to reach out to either one of us!

SCIENCE: 

Hey All, 

This week we will be finishing up our unit on waves. The first part of the week we will be going over the ear and how it is able to interpret sound waves. The rest of the week we will be constructing and building our own music. The materials and instructions can be found on canvas. Please let me know if you have any questions!

SOCIAL STUDIES: 

We are working on our Central America Mosiac (due 5/5 or 5/6).   We will be starting maps on Mexico at the end of next. 

We will be doing a project and if you are able to help, I am needing tissue paper.  Thank you so much for everything.

STEM: 

This week STEM students are reviewing loads, forces and materials in Structures by playing a review game and taking a quiz on Monday and Tuesday.  Wednesday and Thursday we will learn about meeting the needs of a specific community and location with the most appropriate bridge design.  Students will create a blueprint of a bridge to fit a specific scenario and will finish it up on Friday and prepare to present the design to the class next week.
