A Peak at our Month
Our focus this month in Math is finding the surface area of prisms and pyramids. In writing, we will start working on argumentative writing. In reading, we will be focusing on story structure, author’s purpose, and summarization. In science, we will be working through our unit on matter and its interactions.

Remote Learning Continues
Work Completion Expectations
Now that student attendance on Zooms has improved, we need to focus on student participation. Students must submit assignments before the end of each day. Work completion is low for some of our 6th graders and we want to instill a drive to complete work. As teachers, we would never assign work that does not have a purpose.
If a camera is not on on Zoom, students must show participation through a chat discussion or taking themselves off mute to share their academic thoughts.
We love our students and are here to help but we cannot do it alone.
