Stepping Into 6th Grade
April 13th - April 17th
ELA
While students are working from home, please make sure they are reading 30 minutes or more each day. We want those reading skills to be on point when we go back to school. Also encourage your child to be checking Google Classroom for the Monday Check-In forms and review work that will be assigned. Right now there are many options for students to choose from to review Main/Central Idea and Supporting Details. Next week We miss all of you so much and love to hear from you, so please keep reaching out!

Science
Last week, your student will be finishing up their learning about the water cycle with a project on drought prevention.
This week, your student will work on an engineering design challenge that involves building an obstacle course. Feel free to build your own with them, or encourage your family members to build their own! All these resources can be found on the 6th grade website on the Science tab, and on Google Classroom.

Social Studies
Students have been shared a document called Distance Learning Activities in their Google Classroom. There are several activities for students to choose from. They can dig further into civilization we have covered, create their own civilization, or explore other historical people and events.
We are keeping in touch with students through a google form check-in sheet we will send out every Monday. We will also have set up Flipgrids for students to video respond to us, and occasionally be using Google Meets to live video chat with students if they desire.
