Everyone worked together in order to escape before the zombies contaminated all of the zones in our classroom!
This is just a reminder that tomorrow we will be taking the 6th graders on a field trip.
Should we colonize Mars? This is the questions students have teamed up to answer. They completed research last week and are working on creating digital visual aids to express their findings this week. Next week each group will create a 3D model to go with their presentation. The models can be absolutely anything the group comes up with that supports their presentation. (Not really anything. This is middle school, so I’m sure someone could think of something off limits.🤓) It could be a diorama, a model, artwork, experiment, sculpture, etc.
Here are a few extra guidelines for students:
If your child scored below a 70 on the Infographic for Research assignment, they have a new assignment posted called “Infographic Retest” in Google Classroom. (You can see check your child’s grade in Skyward. This is a test grade, so I strongly encourage students to take the opportunity to complete the retest assignment. All the instructions are can be found in Google Classroom, but I have also listed them here below.
