6th Grade Science
6th Grade Science
My goal is to develop my students into curious scientists and critical thinkers while fostering a love for science and the scientific process. We will be covering various topics from physical, life, and earth sciences. Our curriculum is driven by our students and their ability to observe, question, experiment, and analyze. I look forward to leading my students through this new adventure!

My name is Aimee Williams and I will be your student's science teacher. I graduated from Southeastern Louisiana University with a bachelor's degree in Education. I taught 6th grade science for 5 years at Galvez Middle, 3rd grade science & social studies for 1 year at Lakeside Primary and P.E. for 14 years at Lakeside Primary. I live in Prairieville with my husband Jeffrey, my 9 year old daughter Ava, and my 15 year old son Evan.
Mrs. Williams' Weekly Agendas
Mrs. Williams' Weekly Agendas
Each week I will post a new agenda in your student's science google classroom. The agenda will include the day's learning targets, activities (with links), any slides reviewed (with links), information on upcoming assessments, where and what you should be studying, and extension activities to further understanding. This document should be checked daily.

This year we will be using 3 science curriculums. We will use a mix of OpenSciEd, IQWST and teacher supplemented materials. The programs line up with the state standards and use many labs and demonstrations to help teach science. The curriculums rely on student participation a great deal so I'm expecting students to come to class willing and able to contribute.

2. What should I expect homework to be?
2. What should I expect homework to be?
It depends. Since Science can be a hands-on subject I don't usually assign written homework. However, if a student does not complete the classwork assigned to them they will be responsible for completing the classwork at home. However, notes should be reviewed as a study aid daily. Beginning in quarter 2 the students will be assigned Retrospects. These will be open-note, at home quizzes. The students will be given 2 weeks to complete each Retrospect.

3. Do you do labs in class?
We do have lab activities in class. We try to do labs as often as possible and will sometimes request outside materials for labs to be done. The labs are normally done in groups of 2-4.

4. Do you accept late work?
4. Do you accept late work?
I do not accept late work. The only exception is that you may "buy" a late pass using your pride points. It is 10 pride points. You must have your points and assignment ready for the next day you are physically in my classroom.
