DATA 6th Grade Newsletter

Tuesday and Wednesday,  Oct. 17-18th, we will do the Hatchet Escape Room Adventure. 

  Homework is once per week, assigned on Mondays, and due on Fridays. Through January, it will be found on BrainPOP. Classwork not finished in class can usually be taken home to finish for homework as well.      I have classroom assignments represented on Google Classroom, even if they are not Google-based. This should be the first stop for any student who misses a day of class.

     Each student should be reading a self-chosen book for at least 200 minutes per week. 45-55 of these minutes will happen in class, but the other 150+ should happen at home, hopefully spread out over the week in 20-30+ minute chunks.  All DATA 6th graders need to always have their own self-chosen book for SSR time in class twice per week, and opportunities to read when finished early. 

    The best way to contact me is through email but I am also on our 6th Grade Remind. rwayme@neisd.net

This week we explore our 5th and final Theme of Geography, HEI (Human Environment Interaction). We will be learning about what is an adaptation and what is a modification - taking a closer look at the relationship between humans and the Earth.

Tutorial times are Mondays after school from 3:40-4:30pm and Mon - Wed through homeroom PODS (7:45-8:15am).

Chicken/Garden Club Thurs. 3:40-4:30pm. Club will be cancelled on Thursdays that we have early dismissal.

Service Hours - due April 15th, 2024. 6th graders need to earn 5 hours before that time.  Students will need to log their hours in their Agendas and now can also log them into Skyward so family sees totals from home too.

Please feel free to reach out if you have any questions or are in need of anything! You can reach me on Remind or email: bdavil@neisd.net

Hi, everyone! Mr. Gonzalez here. 

This week's ridiculous name for a Wifi connection is "Wu Tang LAN" (heh). 

We are starting the 2nd grading period with a test over everything covered in Units 1 - 3. Students will be demonstrating their understanding of Google Chrome, Google Drawings, and taking a multiple choice test that they prepared for by completing an open note quiz last week. After this test, we will begin an in-depth look at Google Docs for Unit 4. Students will be using word processors in most of their academic career and learning to use different applications as they go through the DATA program so we will also be talking about how to understand a workspace and use resources to learn how to more effectively use different tools within an application. Please have your student log into Google Classroom and show you their work if you have questions about their grades. 

Feel free to reach out if you have any other questions! - Mr. G
