January 24-28

Good day to everyone:

The AASCA Music festival is taking place this week in Guatemala...good luck to the AST students who will surely do an outstanding job representing our school.

6th Grade Math
As announced, a quiz on the different skills and concepts covered the last couple of weeks will take place this Tuesday, January 25th. The quiz will include finding equivalent fractions, simplifying fractions, ordering and comparing fractions, and converting improper fractions and mixed numbers. You can find exercises and examples in Chapter 4 of the book, and use several of the links posted to the right that have to do with these topics. Since this is the first evaluation of the quarter, I hope students take the time to actually sit down, review and practice.

Instructions on a group project will be given on Wednesday, I'll keep you posted with more info!!

Cívica
Ya hemos dado inicio a nuestra unidad de la familia, al discutir su concepto y enumerar algunas de sus clasificaciones. El Martes 25 de Enero trabajaremos en clase en 2 proyectos, uno sobre le Arbol Genealógico y el otro sobre las clasificaciones de la Familia. Es necesario que los alumnos traigan los materiales que necesitarán, como ser revistas, tijeras, marcadores, cartulina, etc. Ellos también tendrán la opción de realizar el último proyecto en Glogster.

Have a great week,

Mrs. Hesse
