Social Studies/Science

Science- Today students took a "gap analysis' test on the computer.  It did not count as a grade, but a tool to help guide instruction through the year.

Social Studies- We are working on Prehistoric Times.  They received a worksheet that is due tomorrow.

Social Studies

Today all students took a pre-test on the concepts for 6th grade Social Studies.  It will be fun to take the post test in May and see how much they have learned!

 

In their blue SS folder you will see a blue packet titled: 6th Grade Fall Semester Post

Test Study Guide.  This is a district assessment and they need to not lose this blue packet.  We will be working on answering all the questions as we move through the Fall and are studying Paleolithic/Neolithic Times, Ancient Egypt, Ancient China, World Religions, Economics, and Geography. 

If you are a parent who periodically goes through your child's backpack to clean it out... PLEASE do not throw away this blue packet.
