Hello everybody!
Good luck to all the 6th graders in the National Anthem evaluations taking place this week. I hope you get super high scores on each of the assessments!! :)
Please take a look at what we will be doing this week.
6th Grade Math
Students will take their last Plato Math session this Monday. Remember to show your best effort so you can truly reflect everything that has been studied throughout the year.
We will conclude with our 2-dimesional geometry unit with a mini-project on Circles. Students will have to create their own drawing or collage using only circles, semicircles, arcs, and sectors. Please be prepared for Monday's class with old magazines, scissors, colors and white paper.
The Vocabulary quiz will be postponed until next week, so students have plenty of time to concentrate on their National Anthem test. I will keep you posted on the date ( quiz will probably take place on Tuesday, May 10th)
We will continue our Geometry unit by introducing 3-dimensional figures.

Good day parents and students:
Please remember to log into your Powerschool account and check for any missing assignments ( you will know the the assignment is missing because there will be no grade and a yellow M appears). These are assignments that may still be turned in. Please show them to me before Wednesday, March 16th. Failing to do so will result in your grade turning into a 0 and your Quarter 3 score being affected.
I hope all of you enjoyed the spring break. We need to be rested and ready to begin this last partial of the school year!!
Please take a look at what we will be doing this week
6th Grade Math
Binder check for Quarter 3 will take place on Monday, March 14th. Students already got their checklist last week.
We will begin our unit on probability. First, we will review converting fractions, decimals and percents, how to solve proportions, and simplifying fractions, since these skills are the foundation of the unit. Then, we will take a look at theoretical probability and making predictions.

El Martes 15 de marzo revisaremos el cuaderno ( no lo pudimos hacer la semana pasada) y los alumnos trabajarán en un proyecto sobre los derechos humanos básicos. Utilizando periódicos, ellos buscarán ejemplos de derechos humanos siendo otorgados y siendo violentados.

Don't forget mid-quarter grades will be posted on Powerschool this Monday, February 14th. Make sure you check your grades and turn in any missing assignments.Since this a partial score, you still have 5 weeks to improve grades, if necessary.
This week we will have the MS Math Walkthrough. On Wednesday, February 16th, all Middle school students will be presenting and trying out each other's activities and games, which have been created by the kids themselves to review and master different Math concepts. Please come and take a look at the their impressive work. Way to go!!
6th Grade Math
We have begun with adding and subtracting fractions with the same and different denominators. We will continue with these operations this week and extend our skills to mixed numbers. A quiz on these topics will be given on Tuesday, February 22nd.
Don't forget that any suggestions and recommendations given to the groups on the Fraction projects presented last week have to be made before the Math walkthrough. Failing to do so will negatively affect your project's grade, since its evaluation has not finalized yet.

Good day dear students:
I hope all of you enjoyed a wonderful weekend. Congratulations to the AST's Knowledge Ball teams and coaches for a great job at the ABSH tournament!!
We are very close to finishing up the first 5 weeks of the 3rd partial, which means that mid-quarter grades are around the corner. We must be on top of upcoming evaluations and projects by keeping our agendas updated. Please take a look at what we will be happening in class this week.
6th Grade Math
The group projects the students had been working with the last 5 class sessions have been presented. Each team had a chance to show their mastery of the topic they were assigned, and then everybody tried out their different activities or games. Since this same project will be displayed on February 16th to the MS students during the Math Walkthrough, teams still need to improve their work with suggestions made by the teacher and their fellow classmates. Please make sure these recommendations are put into practice and are ready by the date mentioned.
This week we will begin our Unit on Fraction operatios. We will review addition and subtraction of fractions first.
Cívica
Continuaremos con nuestra unidad de la familia, esta semana hablaremos de las funciones de la familia y las ejemplificarmos con situaciones diarias de la vida familiar. No se les olvide que hay un proyecto pendiente para el Miércoles 9 de Febrero, "Entrevista a la Familia"

Hello everybody:
The ABSH Knowledge Bowl will be taking place this week at the American School. Another chance to show our excellent hosting skills and how proud we feel about being Eagles. Good luck to all!!
Please read the following information.
6th Grade Math
Students were assigned a team project last Wednesday and were randomly assigned a topic about Fraction Number Theory. They already have the instructions and rubric to guide them. This is a very important activity because they will be displaying their work to all MS students in a Math walkthrough in a couple of weeks.
The groups will meet in class, and that's when they should get together to work. Individual duties should be done at home and then put together when they meet in class the next day. Students must comply with their assigned task or materials on a daily basis. Students should not be meeting after school or at somebody's home. If they do, that means that they have not used their class time effciently; therefore, their grade will be affected.
Project is due this week. Presentations will begin on Thursday, February 3rd for 6-3, and Friday, February 4th for the other 3 sections.
Cívica:
Los alumnos deben de entregar sus proyectos sobre el Arbol Genealógico y los Tipos de Familia el Martes 1 de Febrero.
Esta semana hablaremos sobre conceptos relacionados al matrimonio.
Un nuevo proyecto será asignado el Miércoles.
