Mr. Cardone
Mr. Anderson - Language Arts
All of the students will take the STAR test next week, which will replace the Gates test as our reading assessment. Students will also practice identifying the elements of fiction with a plot diagram, and revising sentences for correct usage and mechanics, as I've seen a few slips this week with capitalization and punctuation. Please, remain diligent in monitoring your child's reading at home by reviewing and discussing their reading log with them whenever possible.
Ms. Bosse - Math
We are still working in our Number Sense unit. Students learned the 'power triangle' for converting. We will quiz mid-week on ordering and comparing.
Mr. Cardone - Social Studies
On Friday, we completed our unit on Geography. On Tuesday students will have a quiz covering the geographic regions of North America and the bodies of water that shaped the United States. On Thursday, the Cartographer’s Challenge project is due and we will have a Kahoot review for the unit test, which will happen on Monday 10/5.
Mr. Cardone - Science
Next week we will wrap up our unit on the Nature of Science by exploring inferences, collecting/organizing data, and writing conclusions. We will have a quiz on Wednesday covering identifying variables and controls.
Introduction to World Languages – 6th grade – 18 weeks
We have finished our unit on Culture and Stereotypes. Next week we will start learning the basics of the Latin language. Please check school fusion for our class notes.
