Parent Teacher Conferences are coming up next week on Tuesday October 29th and Wednesday October 30th. Open House will be from 4pm to 6pm on both days! Please stop by and visit with your 6th grade teachers!
This week we are working on finishing our novel The Watsons Go to Birmingham-1963. We will quiz on chapters 7-9. We will also introduce week six vocabulary words. B-Day students will take the week 5-6 vocabulary quiz on Friday. It is a new quarter, so let's start strong! Let me know if you have any questions or concerns.
This week we are working with positive and negative numbers. We'll look at the difference between opposites and absolute value. We're finishing up chapter 3 this week so we'll be ready for the test next week.
This week in PACK we are going to be watching and discussing the movie "Social Dilemma" on Netflix. The movie is a documentary with a fictional movie inside of the documentary to illustrate what the speakers are all talking about. The movie explains how Social Media is not only influencing, but even altering people who use it both psychologically. This movie coincides with the Internet Safety class we had last week. If you have not heard of this movie, I highly recommend it to all. Please feel free to reach out with any questions, otherwise I look forward to the second quarter.
If you have any questions on Pre-Algebra this week, please email Mr. Linn below!
In Science, we are wrapping up Lesson 3 with an open book test and starting Lesson 4: Heat and Temperature with a heat transfer lab. Please remind your student to keep on top of missing assignments.
