This week on 6 Red!

Truitt, Science:

We will be making bridges on Monday to see their engineering skills in action! Then we will be going over Lesson 3 the Hydrosphere for the next few days talking about the water cycle. Then we will finish off the week with an Enviroscape Demo discussing the watershed, runoff, and other components. Be sure to keep checking Google Classroom and the Homeowork Calendar for any work we do. Have a great Weekend and Week!

Straub, Math: 
This week in math: We wrapped up our study of Big Ideas Chapter 2 with a focus on decimal computation. Advanced Math students completed their Chapter 2 assessment (covering both fraction and decimal computation), and General Math will take theirs on Tuesday next week.

Looking ahead: All classes will begin Big Ideas Chapter 3, which introduces pre-algebra concepts. Students will explore expressions with variables, additive and multiplicative properties, and—most importantly—the distributive property!

As always, we’ll finish the week with a HW Quiz to check understanding of the week’s concepts. Wishing everyone a wonderful weekend!
