DATA 6th Grade Newsletter

   This week, we will finish up our persuasive essays and share them out loud. 

   Students should all be started with their chosen classic novels. They all have free access to several choices of e-copies, but I can sign out physical copies to them if a student needs or prefers that format. Students are also welcome to go out and purchase their own copies of their book as long as it is the full text, not an adaptation.

   I am extending the deadline on last week's Savvas homework on Parallel Structure until the end of this week. There are still a few students who did not yet complete their pre-STAAR individual e-tutorials. They should get these done and in ASAP.

     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.

This week we will be learning about limited and unlimited governments. Students will read about various governments from around the world and then define, describe, and provide real world examples of each.

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.

Tutorial times are Mondays after school from 3:40-4:30pm and Mon - Fri through homeroom PODS 7:45-8:15 am. (Except for holidays when school is out or we have early dismissal.)

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

Hi, everyone! Mr. Gonzalez here. 

This week's ridiculous WiFi name is "For Whom the Belkin Tolls"  (heh). 

Ed White will have a Career Fair on Friday May 10 and we are preparing for the Career Fair in Tech Apps by turning in signed permission slips and learning about different careers in our class. Students are taking time this week to learn about careers that align with their interests and then we'll come back to Photoshop to make collages to show potential future careers. Please ask your student about what their career interests are according to the surveys we have taken and what their ideas are for future collages about these jobs.

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