Today's learning in sixth grade: probability problems, spelling, alphabetizing, and argumentative writing

In math we went over probability.  We did a series of probability problems together.  We had to find the fraction, decimal, and percentage for each one.  Rather than use scratch paper, we used our new dry erase boards.  Our assignment is a review page.  It is in our Skills workbook. Your child should do page 57-evens only, and all of page 58.

In spelling the Wordskills group did section b in their workbooks and the Evan Moor group worked with their spelling words by alphabetizing and unscrambling them.

In language, we were allowed to finish our argumentative piece or read silently.

Have a wonderful Wednesday.


A fun reminder of the real-life skills we DON'T teach in skills.  The guy pictured by the blackboard is Bill Gates, to whom this is attributed.
