ELAR
I hope everyone had a nice break! Coming back, wi will be creating typed, publishable drafts of our memoirs, giving our last impromptu speech, and then turning one of our speech outlines into a nicely written persuasive essay.
This week, I will be introducing the new homework. It will be on Edgenuity and be tailored to each student's individual needs. 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.
MATH
6th Honors
Students will explore how to create and interpret Dot Plots, Box Plots, and Stem and Leaf Plots.

Early draft versions of new model renders
Exploring Multimedia
Wrapping up our unit on 3D Modeling and Animation means completing all renders, turning in all project files, then making sure the 3D page on each Digital Portfolio website documents the last 9 weeks accurately and completely. Portfolios are more than just collections of pictures and videos created during the unit - the writing that accompanies the graphics is just as important. Reading through a web page must give visitors a good idea of what was involved in the creation of the media being shown. Complete sentences and correct spelling are essential, as factors affecting legibility including font size, selection and color contrast.
