The 3rd week of school at Salmon Bay

We are in the third week of school, and things are starting to get real.

All students are taking district assessments in English Language Arts and Math.  These tests are aligned to 6th grade Common Core Standards.  This is a change from last year's MAP testing.  Each test has questions that students are expected to know answers to at the end of 6th grade.  As we all know, the students are at the beginning of 6th grade, so no one is expected to have a perfect score.  If possible, reinforce this with your student!

In other news
Social Studies is working on Maps and Landforms

Math is working on order of operations (PEMDAS = parentheses, exponents, multiplcation/division, addition/substraction)

In science the students are learning the characteristics of life and will perform a lab experiment to observe some "mystery vials."

REMEMBER to sign and send your students camp forms back to their homeroom teacher.  Other forms can go to the office.
