6th Grade Science –
This week, we’ll be working on our climate & climate change unit. During this time, students will be learning about concepts such as atmospheric conditions, global warming causes and effects, temperature trends, and the greenhouse effect. Students should also review homework assignments at home to refresh the material that we’ve been covering in class and prepare for the NWEA science test.
Homework –
1/23 – No School Today – Snow/Ice Day
1/24 – No HW – NWEA testing this week – Have a great day!
1/25 – No Homework – Have a great weekend! 🙂

STEM Apps –
This week, we’ll be working on a CAD Illustration unit, where students will be challenged to use drafting, architectural, and design skills to transform images from two-dimensional or three-dimensional sketches to Computer-Aided Designs. During this time, students will work on a shipping container challenge using the CAD program SketchUp.

Considering the unexpected snow day on Wednesday, January 23rd, I will be adjusting our project timeline a bit to accommodate for the time away from school.  A rough/working draft of the shipping container challenge design needs to be uploaded to Google Classroom by the end of the school day (2:15pm) on Friday, January 25th – the rough draft will be graded as a formative assignment based on effort and participation. We will be extending this project into the week of January 28th, so the final draft of the shipping container design will need to be submitted to Google Classroom by the end of the school day (2:15pm) on Friday, February 1st. The final draft will be graded as a summative project.
