6th Grade Wolverine Weekly
Week of November 16th-20th
College & Career ~ Ms. Parker, Mrs. Dickerson, and Mr. Thames
Students this week will continue working on the geodesic domes, completing them by Tuesday. We will then begin to work on our city building challenge to continue our study of architecture!
Thank you to all who have donated supplies! We will still be in need of masking tape, shoe boxes, toothpicks and Popsicle sticks as we continue our research and construction of buildings.
Pre-AP Science ~ Mrs. Goulding and Ms. Mondon
I am so proud of how well everyone did with the layers of the Earth! In our new unit we will identify the major plate tectonics, including Eurasian, African, Indo-Australian, Pacific, North American, and South American. We will also describe how plate tectonics causes major geological events such as ocean basins, earthquakes, volcanic eruptions and mountain building. And we will be able to predict and describe how different types of catastrophic events impact ecosystems such as floods, hurricanes, or tornadoes. The test will be in about three weeks so please read future newsletters for that date. While we are working our way through this unit they can take their 10 minutes a night of notes in a structure we will set up Monday together using Unit 7 Lessons 2-5 in the 6th grade online text.
Pre-AP Math ~ Mrs. Justice
