 2009-10 here we come! This year should be full of excitement as students depart from elementary school and head up onto Middle school. We here at North Welcome the challenge of making the transition from school to school smooth and easy. It won't be easy, and there may be stress, students may take respite in the fact that others feel the same way they do! _________________________________________________________________________ Homework Students may check 2 ways on the days homework1) This website, on the calendar 0r 2) Calling the Homework Hotline 704-639-3099 ext 4200 ________________________________________________________________ Please see the bottom of this web site for the following:
Science Here is a small preview of the different units we will be working on throughout the year. The Nature of science (what is it and measurement!) In science we will be exploring many different types of land and soils.   We will also be exploring the solar system in the 6th grade!  The "Web of Life" and cycles of life will be explored   Plants  My personal favorite, Population Dynamics Math Order of opererations will be hit hard during the beginning of the school year and a constant theme for the remaining part of the year.  This year in math we will be taking previous concepts and building on them. Fractions, decimals and percents will be a large part of the curriculum. Geometry is also an intergral part of th    Formulas Area of a rectangle A= lw Area of a Parallelogram A= bh Area of a triangle A= 1/2(bh) or BH/2 Area of a Circle A= pi (rxr) Circumference of a circle C = pi(d) Or pi(2)(r) Algebra -it's not as scary as it sounds! A + 34 = 57 A= ??? J minus 5 is the same as J-5 If x=5 and y=6 solve the following: 2(x+y)= ??? Word Problems play a major roles on the E.O.G.'s. They will be intergrated into all of the subjects taught throughout the year. See if you can solve this one! Uncle Henry was driving to Halifax when he spotted a big green gorilla on the side of the road. He screeched to a stop, jumped out of his car. He saw the outline of a number on the gorilla. He couldn't quite see the number, but he knew it was a 4 digit number. And:
2) In the hundred's place he remembers the number is 3 times the number in the thousand's place. 3) He said the number in the one's place is 4 times the number in the ten's place. 4) Finally he said the number 2 is sitting in the thousand's place. **See teacher for the answer!** Technology Throughout the year, both science and math will be integrated. The computer lab will play a major part of both courses. Students will learn basic computer skills on the word processor, inspiratons, appleworks presentations, and spreadsheets. Here is an example of the spreadsheets that we will be using in class. We will be learning about cells, rows, columns, formulas, labels, and values. M&M spreadsheet
Cell F1 =B1+C1+D1+E1 Student supplies  The students will needs to have the following items to help their success in the classroom Science - 3 ring binder with loose leaf paper - PENCILS (No pens allowed in either subject-save your money) - Erasers - Colored pencils ( optional ) - Dividers Math - 3 Ring binder with loose leaf paper - 2 - 70 page notebook (will be kept in the classroom) - Pencils, Pencils, Pencils, and did I mention pencils? - Erasers ***All students are asked to bring boxes of tissues*** ***lots of runny noses!***
