In 6th Grade Science this week we learned about
electromagnetic waves, specifically light waves and
sound waves. Students investigated the sounds that
straws of various lengths make. After break we will move on to studying forces and motion!
The STEM & 6th Grade Science classroom needs pencils and
paper towels! Thank you! : )
Students in STEM finished their “Geometrocity” design and building project.

Computing — Mrs Bradbury
Welcome to Computing, 6th Grade have been practicing the use of ‘keypress’ commands , examples included space down, left down, right down etc.
The students have completed their end of chapter assessment project, where they have created interactive greeting cards, which demonstrate all the skills they have learned during the unit. The card includes a back-ground, moving sprites, text and at least one user interaction. Great work 6th Grade.
8th Grade have started to use Event Driven Pro-gramming this week.
We have learned about creating buttons, and asso-ciating these with events, so that when a button is clicked and event happens, for example when a button is clicked another screen is displayed.
The students have demonstrated their under-standing of this by creating a 4 screen interactive app, where they have used images, text, designed and created buttons, programmed events and add-ed sounds. Well done 8th grade, amazing work !!
The very first Apple logo featured Sir Isaac Newton sitting underneath a tree, with an apple about to hit his head.

-iReady Intervention Program is in full
swing! It should be very beneficial.
Students are supposed to be spending
at least 60 minutes per week on both
reading lessons AND math lessons.
Most students are getting more than
this. However, there are learning games
on the i-Ready program, and if I am not
careful, some students spend a little
time on them here and there. I typically
let the students work on the games for
the last 5-10 minutes, but that is it.

groups of students for both reading

Ready lessons that students are
struggling with.

6TH GRADE ENGLISH LANGUAGE ARTS & HISTORY
Sixth and Seventh Grade Math News from Ms. Chapin ([email protected])
This week in 7th grade math, the students finished learning about operations on integers, so they should know how to add, subtract, multiply, and divide integers, as well as find the absolute value. The chapter 3 test will be Dec. 2, the monday after Thanksgiving break. The retake for students who haven’t yet passed the percents test will be Dec. 9, the following Monday.
This week in 6th grade math, the students finished learning the four basic operations with decimals: adding, subtracting, multiplying, and dividing. They practiced using estimation to increase their accuracy in place value and speed in dividing. They had their chapter 3 test on Friday. They will be starting multiplying and dividing fractions on Monday for chapter 4, so if students need to review making improper fractions, making equivalent fractions, and
adding and subtracting fractions (from 5th grade), Thanksgiving break would be a good time to do that.
