MATH Mr. Al - Blocks C,G,H
Wednesday, January 25th
We just finished a summative the last time we were together. Today marked the beginning of a new unit and essentially a new semester.
Today we worked on accurate rounding so that students can stop a calculation at a reasonable number of places in a decimal. Place value knowledge is key to rounding and good mathematical communication.
Look to the right of the place value you are asked to round to; if that number is 0 to 4, put a 0 in its place; if it is 5 to 9, add one to the place you are rounding.
HOMEWORK: (Pages 37,38) 3a,b,g,h; 6a,b,g,h; 7a,b,e,f; 8a,b,e,f; 9a,b,e,f; 10 all
Have a great weekend, see you on Sunday or Monday!

What would you do? If you lived in an ancient Mesopotamian village and the nearby river flooded and washed away all your farms, and sometimes even your houses, what could you do? What could you invent?
Students became ancient engineers and many came up with the ideas of levees and irrigations systems, on their own! We then read about how the Mesopotamians solved these problems, and what new problems the solutions caused!
Homework: make sure your workbook is complete through 4.4 (including chapter 3 if you were absent or fell behind). I will be checking workbooks for completion soon.

Hello sixth graders!
Today we discussed the events in "The Case of the Daily Telegraph" by practicing writing clear paragraphs. I modeled for you HOW to answer an essay question in paragraph form, and then you practiced the skill yourselves. These are called "constructed response questions," and it is an important skill to have
Your homework this weekend is to read to page 64 and complete ALL the vocabulary up through page 64. (A total of 9 vocabulary words.) I will be marking the completion of your vocabulary next class, so it is very important you come prepared!

Finishing "The Case of the Daily Telegraph"- Ms. Lawrence
Today we continued to develop our understanding of making connections to the text we read in order to increase our comprehension. Students have learned that there are three types of connections we make while reading.
Text to Self
Text to Text
Text to World
We also continued to develop suspect lists and gather clues to solve the case. Watch out for the distractions Mr. Leck may include in the story to throw you off the case!
Homework:
E- Read up to p. 75, Complete the double entry journal for making connections. You need to include (but are not limited to) at least 3 text to self connections. On the left side include the quote or passage and pg. # from the text. You can put this into your own words but still include the pg. # where the information is found. On the right side, right out your connection to the text in complete sentences.
B- Complete the case. Read to pg. 82. Complete your connections worksheet. Remember to wait for the bottom half- this will be completed with your discussion group in class.

We finished reviewing the quiz and making sure we have the correct answers written down for studying purposes.
We then began looking at chapter 4. What problems do we face today? What problems did people during Neolithic times face? How would we have solved these problems and challenges? How did they solve them? The answers will lead to some small villages turning into the world's first cities (city-states).
Homework: review vocab from chapter 3 and 4 (the bold words in the textbook). Make sure you could explain them in your own words.
