Please make sure your 6th Grader:
Responds to the Google form their Advisory teacher included in the newsletter. (Link form)
Check email and Google Classroom daily
Please encourage your 6th Grader to do the following in their Google Classroom:
ELA
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. This week they can also review Context Clues with the links included in this week’s assignments. If they do one or two activities each day to review, that would be great!
If you have any questions or concerns Please Contact:
Ms. K. Clark: kclark@fulton58.org

Math
We will still be putting out 3 videos a week that review a skill and give them an activity to complete, along with a Google Form where they can put their work and answers for the activity. These activities will cover dividing the ingredients in a recipe, finding a side of a polygon when the area is given, and looking at practicing arithmetic in base 10.
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 the phases of the moon and eclipses.

Social Studies
Continue with the Review and Enrichment/Distance Learning 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.
