Hello parents and students:
We are a few weeks away from the end of the 1st quarter, so it is extremely important that students use their agendas accurately. Many projects and assessments will be happening before the partial closes, so make sure you plan accordingly.
6th Grade Math
We will be reviewing range, mean, median, and mode. We will take a look at what they are and how to find them. We will also decide which is the best one to use depending on a given situation. A quiz on these topics will take place on Tuesday, October 5th.

Este Miércoles tendremos la prueba sobre la familia. El Martes les indicaré a los alumnos los temas que incluiré en la misma ( todas las notas del cuaderno, cuestionarios, foldables y proyectos). La próxima semana terminaremos la unidad con la elaboración de un proyecto en parejas.
Have a great week,
Mrs. Hesse

The topics will include place value, expressing, ordering and comparing whole numbers and decimals, as well as converting fractions, decimals and percents.

September 13 and 14
Hello parents and students:
A well-deserved break is just around the corner. I hope all of you use these days off to rest and enjoy with the family. Please take a look at what we will do these two days this week.
6th Grade Math
Students started in class a mini project on their Mountain Math cycle. This project is due tomorrow, Tuesday, September 14. Don't forget to look at the rubric so you know exactly what you are expected to do in your assignment.
A test had been scheduled for tomorrow, however, we are still working on the skills of converting fractions, decimals and percents. Therefore, we will have the test when we come back from our Independence break. I'll let you know the new date next week.
Students will need their Math book tomorrow, so please bring it with you!!
Cívica:
Los alumnos deben presenta su proyecto de "Entrevista a la Familia" mañana Martes, 14 de Septiembre. Porfavor utilizar la rúbrica para asegurarse de tener todo la información requerida.
No se les olvide traer 4 hojitas de papel construcción a clase mañana.
Have a great Independence break,

September 6-10
Hello everybody:
Progress reports are just around the corner. All teachers will have their grades posted by this Friday. Please keep in mind that the final grade that appears is a temporary grade, that will be modified as new grades are included in the remaining weeks of the quarter. Also consider the categories that have been used to obtain this temporary grade as well, as not all categories have been necessarily used up to now.
6th Grade
We started working with decimals, fractions and percents last week. We established similarities and differences among them using a Venn diagram, but pretty much stated that they are three ways to represent the same value. We will practice rules to convert them from one to the other and a conversion chart has already been given out to the students. This chart needs to be studied, as a pop quiz about it will take place this week.
A test on all topics covered will take place next Tuesday, September 14th.
Cívica
Continuaremos con nuestra unidad de la Familia. Los temas a tratar esta semana son las Funciones y los Valores de la familia.
Se asignará un proyecto de Entrevista a la Familia el día de mañana, con fecha de entrega el 14 de Septiembre.
