Earth science students are investigating Earth’s weather and atmosphere while focusing on density and heat transfer (conduction, radiation, and convection).

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

SIXTH GRADE MATH

We are presently working on our last unit: Area of two and three-dimensional figures. This week we will finish our unit while also devoting time to test review.

 

 

*******This week in class we will focus on review for our cumulative exams in both math and science. Remember to encourage your child to study a little each night to prepare for the exams.
