6th Grade
Weekly Update
Freaky February!
Math!
In honors math, we are finishing up scientific notation and will be moving on to square roots and eventually the Pythagorean theorem. Students have begun using scientific calculators. If you'd like to purchase one for your child, we use the TI-30XS here at school. Your student will use this calculator for several years to come, so this would be a wise investment.
English and Literacy!
Literacy: We will finish up any Historical Fiction Presentations. After that, we have a new genre to study, mystery. Look for your student to come home with a mystery book of their choice. We will have a fun mystery to solve on our own at the end of the project. Students should be taking note of vocabulary and figurative language AS THE READ.
Science and Social Studies!
In Ms. Jasper's social studies classes we will be finishing up our Canada unit and starting Mexico. If student's have missing assignments or need help they need to sign up for Tiger Time on Thursday or arrange another time with me.
