Good day everybody:
It's feels like we just started the school year, yet we are already in November!! Pretty soon we will start decorating Christmas trees and baking cookies!! Yeah, Santa is on his way!!
A picture authorization form has been sent out to parents. You can find the link on the right side of my blog. Please note that the deadline has been changed to November 5.
Let's take a look at what will be happening this week.
6th grade Math
We will continue with our Algebra unit. The order of operations project and quiz have already been checked and grades are already posted in Powerschool. I will be returning these this week. In the quiz, many students made a lot of basic Math mistakes, having to do mostly with multiplication and division facts. Take the time to look at the quiz and see where your mistakes are. Review multiplication and division facts if you have to, so you are not slowed down anymore!!
We have also graphed equations using an input and output tables. We will wrap things up this week by translating mathematical expressions.
An Algebra test will be given next week, probably on Tuesday, November 8th. Make sure to include that in your agendas.

Los alumnos y alumnas presentarán sus proyectos de grupos vulnerables el dia Martes 2 de Noviembre. Continuaremos trabajando con los Derechos Humanos durante la semana.
Have a great week!

Good morning students and parents:
I hope you have a nice long weekend, we definitely need that extra day to relax and rest. Please take a look at what we will be working with this upcoming week.
6th Grade:
We have two big assessments , which I had already communicated to students on Wednesday. The "Order of Operations" mini project is due Tuesday, October 27. They need to make their own strategy to remember order of operations and must present their work in a bumper sticker format. Don't forget to include the rubric!!
We will also have a quiz on order of operations this week. 6-1, 6-2, and 6-3 will have the quiz on Wednesday, October 27, and 6-4 will take it on Thursday, October 28. We already discussed the pop quiz and some mistakes that we need to avoid, specially dealing with exponents.
We will then continue working with functions and how to graph them.
Cívica
El Martes los alumnos continuarán trabajando con su equipo de compañeros en el grupo vulnerable asignado, así que deben traer cualquier material que necesiten para la clase.
El proyecto individual de los derechos humanos, donde deben representar utilizando periódicos derechos humanos otorgados y violentados, tiene fecha de entrega para el Miércoles 27 de Octubre.

Good morning everybody:
We are starting the 2nd quarter this week. Please make sure you take a look at your everyday supplies and make sure you have a complete school box. If you have all your requested supplies, you will be able to take full advantage of your instruction and learning. It is very frustrating to try to work if you don't have something as basic as a pencil or marker. Not only do you slow down, you can also become a class disruption.
This Tuesday we will have a late start; students will begin their school day at 9:30 am. They will follow a special schedule that day, so they will still see all of their teachers.
AASCA Basketball tournament will take place this week as well. Let's show our Eagle pride by being good hosts and showing sportsmanship at all times!!
6th Grade
We started working with order of operations last week. Since this can be a very tricky skill to learn, make sure you practice daily and that you do not rush through your work. Watch the videos I have posted so you can remember the PEMDAS acronym and take a look at examples as well.
You will be assigned an order of Operations project this week.

Hemos dado inicio a nuestra unidad sobre los Derechos Humanos. Los alumnos trabajarán en un proyecto en clase el Martes para el cual necesitan 2 periódicos viejos y tijeras.
Have a great week,
