IXL Math Practice

Hi 6th Graders,

I'm super excited for us to have IXL at Neely! This is a great program where you can practice math at all different levels. I get to track your progress and watch you succeed as you move through the lessons! Maybe we could even think of fun rewards for students who spend time working on IXL!
 
 
You will have to use your unique login and password to begin IXL. I will give that to you in computer lab!!

Online Tool: Comic Creator

Hi 6th Graders,

Today we are going to use a new online tool called Comic Creator. This tool will help us show our thinking using pictures. We will use Comic Creator in our reading and writing, but today, let's try something just for fun!

Your Job:
Create a comic with at least 3 panels.
It can be about anything you'd like.
Explore all the tools in comic creator.
Print your finished comic to the 300Bay Printer (I'll show you how!)
 
Click HERE to begin.
 
Today is all about exploring a new tool. I want you to become familiar with the settings and options of the Comic Creator! I can't wait to read your comics!
 
-Ms. Carlyle
 
P.S. Stuck on what to make a comic about? Here are some ideas!
-What you did over winter break.
-Your favorite activity.
-A day with your friends or family.
-What you do in the summer.
