6th Grade Math – There will be an Exponent Quiz on Friday, February 27. The rest of the week, we will focus on expressions (a combination of numbers, variables, and operations such as +, −, ×, ÷ that represent a quantity but do not include an equal sign; for example, 3x + 5).

6th Grade Earth Science – There will be a vocabulary quiz on Thursday, February 26 covering Earthquakes Section 8.1. The remainder of the week will focus on measuring earthquakes, including recording ground vibrations (seismograms), understanding magnitude (energy released), and intensity (shaking effects).
