During school closure: Have fun, stay safe, be kids! We will get through this! I miss each one of you! Science- I would like to challenge students to do 5 acts of kindness each week and write their thoughts in a kindness journal they will share with me on a google doc or paper. Here is just a guide, students may customize if they wish! Mondays Make a family member's life easier by helping with a chore without being asked. Tuesdays Communicate with an elderly person Wednesdays Do something kind for yourself, do something that makes you feel good about yourself. Thursdays Write a letter and mail, e-mail or text to someone you have not spoken to for a while. Fridays A random act of kindness of your choice Do experiments: (Click: 6th grade experiments to do at home). Pick one and share in a google doc/picture what happened! Take a virtual field trip: https://www.discoveryeducation.com/community/virtual-field-trips/ Share a google doc with me on what you learned! IXL Science: https://www.ixl.com/science/grade-6 sections A, B, C, M, O Math-Students received a math packet on Ratio/proportions. They may do any or all of that packet. If they prefer to have online learning, students may log onto their iXL 6th grade math and do any skills there.
