The Plan moving forward...
For all families: please know this is a work in progress! Contact me with questions, comments, concerns. I am not there with your student to know how easy or difficult the work is, how overwhelmed or bored they are. Please contact me with your thoughts on how school is going at home. Flexibility from both directions will be beneficial. We all miss seeing your students in class, Mrs. Rule
7Gold Religion: Mrs. Powell and I will be collaborating for Religion, and most assignments will be in Google classroom.
Geometry: We can still finish the book! I know you're happy for that news! We will move on to Chapters 11 and 12. Most of your work can be done online through PearsonRealize. You know how to contact me if you need help.
Algebra: I am very pleased with how much Algebra content our class has learned this school year. Students will have no trouble at all moving up to geometry next year if that is their plan. These next few weeks of learning will cover geometry topics from the 8th grade standards (that was the original plan for our class), which should be review for those of you who were in my Pre-Algebra class last year. Those of you who were not in Pre-Algebra last year may have a few more questions; please feel free to contact me! We will use a combination of PearsonRealize, Khan Academy, possibly Google classroom, and pdf worksheets online.
7th Pre-Algebra: Both classes will have the same assignments for the week; I will post those online in the same place (no differences between Blue and Gold anymore). This first week's assignments are all on PearsonRealize and are all topics from Chapter 10 that we learned before Spring Break, just to get used to the new format and remember where we were in the book. It is possible that we will also use Google classroom, Khan Academy, and pdf worksheets posted online for future assignments.
6Blue Math: Mr. Huber and I will be collaborating for 6th grade Math for Chapters 10 and 11. We will use a combination of ThinkCentral, Google Classroom, Khan Academy, and pdf worksheets posted online. We will do our best to have students ready for 7th grade math!
