Winter Break Homework

Dear 6th Graders and Families,

I wanted to touch base, as we had many (understandable!) absences today, on the homework that I expect over the winter break.

6th graders, please keep reading over break! You are responsible for bringing back a completed reading log when school starts on January 6th! Feel free to read more and write more!

You can definitely email me with any questions! brooke.carlyle@kent.k12.wa.us


Have a safe and happy break!

Geometry Fun!

Dear 6th Grade Families,
 
The 6th graders and I had a great time exploring an online math tool called a geoboard. We use geoboards in class when learning about polygons and other geometric vocabulary. I asked the students to challenge themselves by making their names and unique designs, and then try naming the different polygons that they see in their creations. Here are just SOME of the images that they came up with!
 
 
Feel free to experiment with the online geoboard at home here!

That Quiz and Geoboards!

6th Graders,

Please use the following links for our Math Lab time today! The ThatQuiz comes FIRST, then explore with the online Geoboard! Remember, do your best work on ThatQuiz, because you only get one try!

Russell Wilson's Passing Your Way!

Courtesy of Mrs. Merry :)

Russell Wilson's Passing Your Way
(Sing to the tune of "Santa Claus is Coming to Town")
 
You better watch out! And try not to cry!
You better not pout! I'm telling you why,
Russell Wilson's passing your way.
 
He knows if you'll blitz. He sees if it's zone.
He knows if it's man, you'll wanna go home.
Russell Wilson's passing your way.
 
He sees film while you're sleeping. He studies while you break.
He knows if you've been bad or good. So be good for goodness sake!
 
With little hand signs and little pump fakes. He'll find the right read and do what it takes. Russell Wilson's passing your way.

That Quiz - Area and Perimeter

Dear 6th Graders,

Please use the code below during computer time to complete the ThatQuiz quiz on area and perimeter. You will see rectangles and triangles on this quiz. Remember, you only have one opportunity to take the quiz....you can't go back and redo it after it's done (so do your best work the first time!).

 
When you finish, you may play a math game from my website or the Neely O'Brien website!

Kid President

Hi Neely Families,
The 6th graders and I have been enjoying some wise words from the one and only, Kid President. We wanted to share one of our favorite videos. I think all of us, young and old, can learn something from this clever 3rd grader! :)
 
 
Enjoy!!
