Week of 4/7 - 4/11

 5th Six Weeks - Week 6

NEXT WEEK IS SIX WEEKS EXAM WEEK! 


This week in Science we will learn how to calculate kinetic energy and potential energy.
Visit the links I posted this past week. (Scroll down or click on the science or physical science links on the right.)

 In Geography we will travel from Washington, D.C. to New York City and its boroughs.

Thursday - University T-shirt Day

Friday - 

FALCONS, do not forget that on Friday we will be traveling to the Joe R. Sanchez Stadium and join the Autism Awareness Walk sponsored by Roque Guerra, Jr. Elementary. Wear your bright neon green shirts! You all will look as bright as a highlighter as we show our support. I would like to encourage you to continue to read and learn about ASD. 

Visit our 6th Grade Falcon blog!

Virtual Lab

Students visit the Phet Energy Skate Park to have a better understanding of mechanical energy (potential and kinetic). Students worked in groups to work through the virtual lab.

Autism Awareness 2014

Students show their support towards Autism Awareness.

Week of 3/31 - 4/4

Good bye March and welcome April!

Several things will be happening during this month.

April is Autism Awareness Month and April 2nd is Light It Up Blue day. For more information click on the image below.

During this month, students in the state of Texas are assessed with the State of Texas Assessments of Academic Readiness (STAAR). Falcons will SOAR through these assessments and will end the year successfully! Seventh grade students will be administered the first exams of this year on Tuesday and Wednesday of this week (Writing days 1 and 2). 

This week, in science, we will continue to learn about energy, mechanical energy to be precise. Students will be able to know the differences between potential and kinetic energy. In geography students will gain knowledge about the nation's capital, Washington, D.C.

What else is going on this week?

Monday - April Fools' Day (be careful with your pranks :) always respect each other)

Wednesday - Light It Up Blue (try to light up your home blue)

Thursday - University T-shirt Day

Friday - Falcon Friday (show off your spirt and wear your spirit shirt)

Next week?

Friday, April 11th, we travel to the Joe R. Sanchez Stadium to support the annual Roque Guerra, Jr. Elementary Autism Awareness Walk.
