There will be some time to read in class, but students should plan on also reading at home to stay caught up. There will be quizzes.
Last week's homework on Savvas Realize was our final one. It can still be finished for full credit. There are still a few students who did not yet complete their pre-STAAR individual e-tutorials homework on Edgenuity. 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.

Tech Apps w/ Mr. G
Hi, everyone! Mr. Gonzalez here. This week's ridiculous WiFi name is "One if by LAN…" (heh).
This week students will also be receiving a final review for a test over units 6, 7, and 8 that we will have the week of May 20. We will also begin going over optional extra credit projects: one in Google Docs, one in Google Sheets, and one in Adobe Photoshop. Students may use notes and work on these projects at home. Students will be allowed to add extra credit to all assignments FROM THIS GRADING PERIOD starting the week of May 20. More details to come.
To get an idea of what they are doing, please ask your student to show you their work in their TA final folder in Google Drive. Please feel free to reach out if you have any other questions! - Mr. G
Tutoring Times:
Mon-Wed 7:45-8:30

Exploring Multimedia
We return to our Digital Portfolios to polish them up for the end of the year and add their Multi-App to their App Inventor page. They have to download the file and put it in their "PORTFOLIO FILES - DO NOT DELETE" folder. From there they convert the file's link into a (semi) permanent QR code that anyone can scan to install it on their own device.
We'll be reviewing each other's pages using a browser that is not signed in to our IDs to find and change media that is not shared correctly and asks the viewer to sign in so that it can be displayed - there are Google Drawings that need to be downloaded as PNG or JPG images as well as Google Classroom documents that need to be re-posted to the portfolio so that those parts of the pages do not appear to be broken.
