DATA 6th Grade Newsletter

   We will be continuing to read biographies for SSR once each week through the end of November, and students are encouraged to read their chosen biographies on their own. Each DATA 6th grader will be expected to have a biography, autobiography, or memoir of their choice available and in progress. On November 30th, students will dress up as the real person from their book and introduce themselves in character. More details soon. 

     Retakes are available for the Run-On Sentences and Subject-Verb Agreement homework on BrainPOP, and I will be offering a retake Friday for  the Grammar Keepers Quiz to those who made less than an 80 on the original. Those students should be reviewing the first batch of Grammar keepers on our Pear Deck slides (up to who and whom).

  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

Unit 2 HEI test has been moved to Monday, Oct. 30th. Tuesday, we begin our new unit exploring what defines a Culture. 

Just a reminder that students can retake the 50 States Map Quiz. If your student did not make the grade they wanted please have them see me for a retake. Retest/Retakes take place during afternoon tutorials on Mondays from 3:40-4:30. Students will be given an opportunity to practice and study before taking the quiz again for a higher grade.

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 "Nacho Wifi". (heh). After learning about Graphic Design principles and elements of art, students are beginning to use Google Docs to create newsletters about one of their favorite topics. 

Students will use Google Drawings to create a header image for their newsletter and answer research questions about their topic before putting the information and images into a newsletter of their own!  Please ask your student to log into Google Drive and show you what they have been working on. Feel free to reach out if you have any other questions!
