Hello students!

Please click the link at the top of the iBlog next to “Home” labeled “Online Course March 16-April 13” to get the assignments for this week.

Hello Students and Families,

During this time, it is my goal to continue to teach the curriculum. Each day, I will be posting information and assignments to help make sure the students meet the Common Core State Standards for 6th grade math. Furthermore, I will be holding students accountable by grading online work and calling home for students that are not completing their work. Here is a suggested weekly schedule:

IF YOU DO NOT HAVE INTERNET: Comcast is offering free internet to our students and families during this time. Please visit this link to access: https://www.internetessentials.com/covid19

For now, the best way to get in contact with me is through email. I have been receiving many emails concerning grades. My grandfather passed away yesterday and our family is very devastated by this loss. I ask that you please be patient with me as I am working as fast as I can, but I will also have family obligations this week.

Finally, please reach out to your fellow classmates so that nobody misses any information.

Thank you for your understanding and dedication to educational excellence during these uncertain times. Stay healthy!

Finish Practice book pages as study guide- try your best. We will go over the solutions tomorrow. Finish Khan Academy assignments.

I assigned the homework for lessons 12, 13, 14, and 15 on Khan Academy. About half of it is due this Friday and the other half is due next Friday. Please get a head start on these assignments so we can iron out any misconceptions in class before the due dates.

The corresponding IXL assignments for these lessons will be due at the end of March.

This weekend:

1 Khan Assignment and the green pages in the Instruction Book from Lesson 11 pgs. 112-115.

Nothing additional. Work on Khan Mission if you have time. Mission should be at 70% by the end of February. It will be put in as a test grade. It would also be good to complete any missing assignments on Khan and IXL if you would like me to update your current grade. Enjoy your break!

As a reminder, the following assignments are/were due. Lesson 10 was due last Friday, after students had over 2 weeks and plenty of class time to work on them. Lesson 11 is due tomorrow after students had a whole week and plenty of class time to work on them. If you are behind, here are the two half sheets:

Many students are running low on supplies. Over break, please be sure to replenish your math supplies with the following items:

• At least 5 pencils
• Sharpener with cap
• Erasers
• Expo Markers
• Eraser for Whiteboard
• Colored Pencils
• Hi-lighters
• Lined Paper for binder
• Glue stick
• Scissors
• Your own calculator
• Optional red pens, extra notebooks, etc.

All of these supplies need to be contained in a single pencil pouch– no boxes. Students may only have ONE pencil pouch containing all supplies. It is unacceptable for a student to be leaving the classroom to go and retrieve supplies from their locker. Students will be awarded 100 participation points after break if they come to class with all of their supplies consistently for one week. Students must also obey all of the rules of the supplies in order to keep their points.
