8/14/20 This was a temporary page that was used to communicate about distance learning during the school closure. I am currently editing it, but I definitely recommend that you access the Distance Learning Resource page in the drop down arrow to find helpful resources and tutorials.

Hello everyone. This is a brief message to let you know that both Ms. Ryan and I are using Google Classroom to keep distance learning organized. Students had been using Google Classroom since the school year began and we are depending on them to check both Classrooms daily. All of their assignments and announcements are there. I also suggest that they use the Google Calendar that is found under the Classwork tab.

Hello. I would like to provide additional opportunities for pencil to paper work and I apologize that I cannot print these for you. Parents, please consider these projects optional, I am just sharing resources that I have, should your child want the opportunity to do pencil to paper math work and/or an ongoing project to work on. It's not ideal, but if you don't have access to a printer, you could open the document and have your child copy their work onto paper.

Pencil to Paper Project
Here is a link to a project titled, Open a Surf Shop, that you can print out at home and work on (alternatively, you could open it on the screen and write your work on paper). I like this because it is practice with decimals and percentages, as well as some other 6th grade math skills. It also involves building a 3-D store. I created a Google Slides (see right) to go along with it that includes links to online tutorial videos.

Math Assignment 1:
During the week of March 23-27, please complete the Khan Academy Ratios, Rates, and Percentages Unit. Make sure to log in using your school account so that I can track your progress. I posted this assignment on Google Classroom, but you can also access it via this link:

* Please keep in mind that although it looks like a lot, the videos are brief and the articles and exercises are few in number. Pace yourselves wisely. Some of this is review and I encourage you to have your notes that you took in class on hand.
Remember, if you want tutorials in addition to Sal Khan's, you can go to the Math Support page, Chapter 5.
