Our essential learning targets for fourth quarter are:
6.EEI.B.6/7/8 Combined: MLS Code: 6.EEI.B.6 Write and solve equations using variables to represent quantities, and understand the meaning of the variable in the context of the situation. 6.EEI.B.7 Solve one-step linear equations in one variable involving non-negative rational numbers.Standard: 6.EEI.B.8
6.EEI.C.9: Analyze the relationship between the dependent and independent variable using graphs, tables, and equations and relate these representations to each other.
Objective Sheet
6.GM.A.2: Apply the formulas V = l w h and V = b h to find volumes of right rectangular prisms with fractional edge lengths in the context of solving real-world and mathematical problems and represent three-dimensional figures using nets made up of rectangles, and use the nets to find the surface area of these figures.
Important terminology for this unit: Addition property of equality, subtraction property of equality, multiplication property of equality, division property of equality, equation, expression, inverse operations, solution, inequalities

Science
This week: We will have NWEA testing on Monday and Tuesday. Then we will start on climate this week including: how the oceans, atmosphere, and location affect the climate for an area.
Our learning target for this week is:
- 6-8.ESS2.C.3: Develop and use a model to describe how unequal heating and rotation of Earth causes patterns of atmospheric and oceanic circulation that determine regional climates. (Climate)
Our essential learning targets for the quarter are:
- 6-8.ESS2.A.2: Construct an explanation based on evidence for how geoscience processes have changed Earth's surface at varying time and spatial scales. (Weathering and erosion)
- 6-8.ESS2.C.1: Design and develop a model to describe the cycling of water through Earth’s systems driven by energy from the sun and the force of gravity. (Water cycle)
- 6-8.ESS2.C.2: Research, collect, and analyze data to provide evidence for how the motions and complex interactions of air masses results in changes in weather conditions. (Air masses)
- 6-8.ESS2.C.3: Develop and use a model to describe how unequal heating and rotation of Earth causes patterns of atmospheric and oceanic circulation that determine regional climates. (Climate)
- 6-8.ESS3.B.1: Analyze and interpret data on natural hazards to forecast catastrophic events and inform the development of technologies to mitigate their effects. (Natural disasters)
Important terminology for this unit: Weathering, erosion, rapid, catastrophic
Social Studies
Tutoring After School will be offered on Tuesdays by Mrs. Windmann, and Thursdays by Mr. Hoskins for any Social Studies student who needs help with their assignments
Our learning target for this unit is: Describe the origins, structure, and essential beliefs of Hinduism and Buddhism Students will:
- Explain the origins of Hinduism and Buddhism
- Explain the structure of Hinduism and Buddhism religion
- Compare and Contrast the essential beliefs of Hinduism and Buddhism
Unit Plan/Objective Sheet: This document shows the level of proficiency required to meet the standard along with a calendar of assignments and when they are due.
This Week
Monday: Hinduism and Buddhism Test
Tuesday: Wrap up test (if needed) and Notes on Judaism, Christianity, and Islam
Wednesday: Judaism, Christianity, and Islam notes due
Thursday: Hyperdoc
Friday: Hyperdoc Due

English Language Arts
This Week:
Now that we are wrapping up standardized testing, we will focus again on main idea and supporting details. The websites www.dogonews.com, www.newsela.com, and www.wonderopolis.org are great resources for some extra practice.
We will also start generating ideas for our argumentative papers. Students will need to come up with a topic they are passionate about to argue 3 main points for or against.
This is a friendly reminder that ALL 6th graders should be READING 30 MINUTES EVERY NIGHT.
Our learning target for this week is:
RI1D- Explain the central/main idea(s) of a non fiction text and cite evidence of its development
Our Essential Learning Objectives (ELOs) for 4th quarter:
RI2D: Identify and author's argument in a text and distinguish claims of support and non support.
W2A - Follow a writing process to produce clear and coherent writing in which the development, organization, style, and voice are appropriate to the task, purpose, and audience; develop writing with narrative, expository, and argumentative techniques.
b. Expository: Develop informative/explanatory writing to examine a topic with relevant facts, examples, and details.
RL3D/RI3D - Read and comprehend literature and informational text independently and proficiently.

Focusing on the NWEA.
Getting serious about the passage.
Field trip Fun!
Environmental Science
This week:
We will continue to learn about climate change. We will start working on our project to reduce our impact on the environment.
Feel free to watch the video below and discuss our impact on the environment.
