Mrs. C. Campbell

Mrs. Campbell teaches Sixth Grade Science and Social Studies in class 3118.

Science
In Science, the students have recently completed Modern Cell Theory and heredity, and are practicing examing texts for evidence to support an argument.

Social Studies
Edcite.com is a valuable resource which we have used in the class. Students were given assignments online and expected to complete them by the due dates. Grades have been added to Powerschool for those assignments. If a student makes the work up then they need to give me a note with their name, the assignment and the points they earned by Monday, March 16, 2015. I will verify the points and then update their score in Powerschool.

The current focus is China. Students are creating a silk road journal with five entries. I have provided students with note pages to accompany their packet as an additional resource. Due Friday, March 13, 2015.

We study ECONOMICS throughout the year with each river civilization we study. We also set up a "Classroom Economy" as outlined by this presentation. Every student applies for a job, using this application sheet, and receives a weekly salary. Bonuses are offered. Fines, expences and taxes are deducted on the Class Economy Bank Log. On May 2nd students will be able to use the money in their "bank account" to purchase goods.

Google Drive
To access the documents and links that have been made available on the shared Google Drive account, use the user name "covedale6" and enter "6covedale" as the password.

Computer Science Club
Using the site Code.org, students who are in grades 3-6 are learning how to program in JavaScript, a programming language that is used for most websites. The interface that the students are using presents the students with a series of mini-challenges, with characters such as the "Red Bird" from the Angry Birds games and the zombie character from Plants vs. Zombies, along with other miscellenous characters to fit the mini-challenges. Once the students have used the interface to put together the commands that they want the characters to follow, the interface allows the students to see what these commands look like in plain JavaScript.
