Science  

6th graders are getting a taste of the Science curriculum they will be fully engaged in next year, known as Stiles.   Open chromebook test over Unit 1, will be on Wed., May 8.   It is my hope that the Indianapolis 500 Speedway Car of Science project allows for some Parent/Child stress-free bonding time.   Event takes place Wed., May 15, in the North gym from 8:30-9:00 a.m.

History

The Reformation will be our focus this week.

Math

We are all having a great time learning about data displays and measures of center in chapter 12.

Parents: most of our students need review of their basic facts in addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division. 5 to 10 minutes of practice a few days a week would be very helpful to most students.

Students will have a problem of the week due every Friday when there is at least a 4 day week. The problem is given the first day of the week. The problem must follow the five step outline given in class. Parents, please feel free to check on this  and even help them if they need it.
