Hello 6th-grade families! I hope you’re enjoying the wonderful weather this weekend.

Most students were able to finish the NWEA math test last week. If your student did not, he or she will be finishing during one of the make-up sessions this week. I was really proud of their efforts – they really took their time and tried their best!

On Monday students will be given back their Lesson 1 quiz that was taken on Friday. Any student who earned a 70% or less has the option of re-taking the test for a higher grade during lunch on Wednesday or staying after school that day. This retake is completely optional and will be a different version than the original test (same content though). These grades have been entered into MiStar already so students don’t need to wait until tomorrow to see how well they did!

I won’t be at school on Tuesday the 25th. I don’t know yet who the guest teacher will be, but I look forward to getting a great report from whomever it is!

We will extending our study of ratios into Unit Rates this week

Monday – Understand Unit Rate hw

Tuesday – Ratio math stories hw

Wednesday – Finding Unit Rate hw

Thursday – students will be completing an independent practice activity on Finding Unit Rates. No homework this day unless students don’t finish. This will be done in the Instruction Book, pages 14-15

Friday – Math Workshop day. If students don’t finish during the Independent Station, they need to finish pages 15-16 out of their Practice and Problem solving book Reason and Write.

Have a great week!
