Mighty Falcons,


         Welcome to the 5th week of the fifth six weeks! Hope everyone had a great Easter break with friends and family.

         This week we will continue exploring different types of graphical representations so please make sure you are present each day so that you do not miss out. Also, remember our math district benchmark #2 is on Tuesday, April 10, so make sure you are focused and go over all your notes and online Agilemind lessons to be better prepared for the test.

          Make sure you have turned in your assignments for all your classes and ask your teachers for help when needed, we are here to help you reach your goals! Next week is also the last week of the 5th six weeks so please ensure to be responsible and stay organized!

Reminders:

     MATH DBM #2, APRIL 10.
     READING DBM #2, APRIL 11.
     ATTENDANCE COUNTS!
     WORK HARD!
      HAVE FUN!
       DO GOOD!

Week of March 26-29, 2018

Week 4 of the 5th Six Weeks


       Falcons, we just finished covering geometric concepts and will now transition to Topic 15: Graphical Representations of Data.

Throughout Topic 15 you  will be able to:

1. develop an initial understanding of statistical variability;
2. select an appropriate representation for presenting data from circle graphs, bar graphs, stem-and-leaf plots, and histograms;
3. use appropriate representations for displaying data and investigate the relationships between the various representations;
4. justify their decisions around representing data through explanation, work products, or class discussion.

Watch Video below this post learn more about our math lesson.

Remember your Math District Benchmark is on April 10, 2018 and Reading on April 11, 2018, work hard to hit those Master's Levels! Also, ensure you are working hard in all your classes, are focused, and turning in your assignments ON TIME! No Excuses!

Reminders:

• Progress Report Card Pick-Up, Wednesday, March 28 at Peter Piper Pizza from 4-6 pm. 
• 6th Grade Easter Egg Hunt, Wednesday after lunch. 
• 6th Grade Movie Field Trip to Tinseltown in Mission, Tx. on Thursday, March 29, 2018. 
• No School on Friday, March 30.
• Enjoy your Easter Weekend with friends and family!

Week of March 19-23, 2018

Mighty Falcons,


      I hope everyone had a relaxing spring break, alongside, making many new memories with friends and family by staying "unplugged." 

This week we will

• model and apply the formulas for area of rectangles, parallelograms, triangles, and trapezoids, and for volume of rectangular prisms;
• develop a formula for the area of a regular polygon;
• determine areas of irregular shapes and special quadrilaterals by decomposing and rearranging them into rectangles;
• generate conversions for length and area;
• solve problems involving the volume of rectangular prisms and area of triangles and quadrilaterals—where dimensions are positive rational numbers—by writing and solving equations.

     District benchmark #2 will be on April 10, 2018, so let's work hard to strive for success and work toward full academic progression. Ask for help when need be and remember that hard work pays off. 

Reminders: 

Attendance Counts!

Do good!

Tutorials will resume this Saturday from 8am-12pm.

STAAR Mathematics is on Monday, May 14,2018 and STAAR Reading is on May 15, 2018. You got this Mighty Falcons, let's hit those Masters Levels!

March 5-9,2018

Mighty Falcons, 

         Welcome to the 2nd week of the 5th six weeks. I have seen academic growth in each one of you, remember to always do your best in all you do and ask us for help when need be. 

This week we will begin to:

•  model and apply the formulas for area of rectangles, parallelograms, triangles, and trapezoids, and for volume of rectangular prisms;
• develop a formula for the area of a regular polygon;
• determine areas of irregular shapes and special quadrilaterals by decomposing and rearranging them into rectangles;
• generate conversions for length and area;
• solve problems involving the volume of rectangular prisms and area of triangles and quadrilaterals—where dimensions are positive rational numbers—by writing and solving equations.

Reminders:

Picture Day is on Tuesday, March 6, 2018. Dress your best!
OPEN HOUSE ON WEDNESDAY FROM 3:45 TO 5:30PM

Do Good!

Be YOU!

Week of February 26-March 2, 2018

Mighty Falcons,

Welcome to the first week of the 5th six weeks!

       As we begin the new six weeks remember we must work extra hard because STAAR is around the corner and there are many goals to conquer.

        We will begin to work with angle relationships found among the interior angles of triangles. We will also investigate conditions required to form a triangle, including whether or not a given set of three side lengths that may determine a triangle or not. Finally we will investigate the relationship between the side lengths of a triangle and the related angle measures.

Check out the following video to get ahead of our content lessons!

Reminders:
Starr County Youth Fair Trip on March 2, 2018.
Tutorials, March 3, 2018.
Attendance Counts!
Be YOU!
