Blue Math: We will be finishing up our unit on fractions. Students have learned how to multiply fractions and will learn how to divide fractions this week. They will also learn how to record data on a line plot and redistribute amounts evenly. Our test date for unit 4B will be February 6th. Yellow Math: We are working on 6th grade unit 5. In this unit, students reviewed how to find the area of rectangles, squares, and parallelograms.They will also learned how to find the area of a triangle, kite, rhombus, and more. We also learned how to find the surface area of a 3D shape using its net. This week, we will review how to find the volume of a rectangular prism. Our test date for unit 5 will be February 6th. Science: Our current science unit is over Constructive and Destructive forces. We have learned more about earthquakes, plate tectonics, volcanoes, erosion, and weathering. Students learned about plate tectonics last week. Our tentative test date for this unit is February 1st.

It has been a long week... and it is only Tuesday! Good thing my students always come in and give me so much energy! Please check below for some important weekly updates!

I want to take a quick minute and thank each and every one of you for so many things! 1. Thank you for keeping all of my students safe over winter break :) No broken bones that I know of yet! 2. Thank you for thinking of me during the holiday season and writing the sweetest cards to me! You all provide me with so much joy each and every day. 3. Thank you for trusting me with your children every day. It was very hard to get up this morning and drag myself to school since my sleep schedule is off. It took 2 minutes for the students to cheer me up and remind me why I love getting up so early every day. They put a smile on my face and turned what I expected to be a bad day into an amazing one.
