Check email and Google Classroom daily
Google Meet Pictionary
Please encourage your 6th Grader to do the following in their Google Classroom:
ELA
Students should be reading 30 or more minutes every day!
This is the most important work they can do while they are at home. To make the next week easier on everyone, we are going to be assigning Scholastic Work At Home. This will give work for students to do each day that will require them to read and write. This week they will be working on Week 3 Days 11-15.

Math
Since this is the last week of school, we wanted this activity to be fun! We will have 1 activity that will take all week to work on. Students will be creating their own robot (out of a paper template or even cardboard boxes). Then, they will answer questions that include skills from all 6 units.
Don't forget to check your Google Classroom everyday! If you want notifications on when videos are posted, you can subscribe to Ms. Grant's YouTube Channel! https://bit.ly/2VbY8rQ

Science
Each week, your student will have a new project to complete. The projects cover standards taught throughout the year. This week, your student will work on another engineering design challenge.

Social Studies
Continue with the Review and Enrichment choice activities. Slides 2-7 are for review and slides 8-11 are for enrichment. Enrichment suggestions can be done with various historical topics and people of the student’s choice. Review work should be attempted if a student has a 1 or 2 on a topic to “level up” on the standard or just because the student wants to explore beyond what was taught in class. Students should communicate what they are working on with their teacher via Google Classroom private comment or an email. Students should cite their research sources and make sure they either summarize what they learned or paraphrase the author’s information so they don’t get in the habit of plagiarizing others' work.
