Hi. My name is Meg Milberg.
- 00:03 - 00:05
I teach sixth grade general science.
- 00:06 - 00:09
Uh, I'm actually two teams that breakables and the Unbeatables.
- 00:11 - 00:14
What we're gonna do this year is we're going to
- 00:14 - 00:15
be covering lots of topics.
- 00:16 - 00:19
We always start the year with the general science, Um,
- 00:19 - 00:22
learning about graphing and data analysis and then density.
- 00:23 - 00:27
And then we move into chemistry and atomic matter on
- 00:27 - 00:31
then properties of water, energy, whether and planetary science.
- 00:32 - 00:34
So we got a full year of science ahead.
- 00:35 - 00:37
One thing we're really going to be emphasizing this year
- 00:37 - 00:40
is something called claim evidence reasoning.
- 00:41 - 00:47
What this means is we are going thio be getting
- 00:47 - 00:49
the kids to make sure that if they state acclaimed
- 00:50 - 00:53
scientifically, they back it up with evidence on then state
- 00:54 - 00:58
how the evidence supports or despair reports that their claim
- 01:01 - 01:04
I'm my goal is to go all digital.
- 01:04 - 01:08
Unfortunately, we don't have the chromebooks yet, So until they
- 01:08 - 01:12
arrive, we're doing paper notebooks and I've asked for a
- 01:12 - 01:15
123 ring binder someplace where they can keep their science
- 01:16 - 01:18
materials all together in one place.
- 01:19 - 01:22
Um, most of everything is going to be posted on
- 01:22 - 01:23
school Aji.
- 01:23 - 01:25
So all copies of digital assignments are there.
- 01:26 - 01:30
Um, most all of the tests and quizzes will be
- 01:30 - 01:33
there, but most importantly, the weekly sociology homework will be
- 01:33 - 01:34
posted there.
- 01:35 - 01:39
It opens on Thursday at 89 o'clock in the morning,
- 01:40 - 01:43
and it will close the following Thursday at nine o'clock
- 01:43 - 01:44
eight o'clock in the morning.
- 01:45 - 01:50
Um uh, anyway, uh, and they could do it as
- 01:50 - 01:52
many times you've gone to in the middle of the
- 01:52 - 01:54
night. Any time within the week.
- 01:55 - 01:56
Do it as many times is up to 20 times
- 01:57 - 01:57
until you get 100.
- 01:58 - 02:02
They're great ways to check out and study a little
- 02:02 - 02:04
bit of time without it being overwhelming.
- 02:05 - 02:08
Most kids really like it, and a lot of them
- 02:08 - 02:12
could do it at school when we have access to
- 02:12 - 02:12
the laptops.
- 02:14 - 02:17
Finally, if you want to contact me, the best way
- 02:17 - 02:17
is through email.
- 02:18 - 02:21
Um, I check emails several times a day.
- 02:22 - 02:25
I am most likely to get back to you the
- 02:25 - 02:29
quickest if you send me an email and if you
- 02:29 - 02:32
need any other help or have any extra questions um,
- 02:33 - 02:35
weaken Best White sent me an email.
- 02:36 - 02:38
Okay. Ready for a great sixth grade year.
