6th Grade Updates - Quarter 3

Sixth graders are preparing to work with 5th grade on an authentic project called Money Well Spent.

This real-life project will encompass many of the information/technology curriculum skills objectives and let students work across grade levels. Currently, 5th grade is getting ready to survey survey the school on a variety of topics related to school improvement, and 6th grade will be utilizing that resulting data for analysis and interpretation.

So far this quarter, we have been working in Microsoft Excel to refresh our memory and learn about entering data and creating graphs. Soon we will work with entering formulas and sorting and filtering data.  Students will take the survey data from 5th grade and eventually create graphic organizers and charts with the results to share in an appropriate format and layout for a presentation to the school.

I do not anticipate many assignments that would be needed to be completed outside of class, but there may be a situation in which this happens.  Please be advised that if this is the case, I will post due dates in the Homework section of RenWeb.  

If you would like to know more about this project and our updates, please feel free to check back often to this blog, or subscribe for updates that will go directly to your e-mail!

Thank you!
