English

With Ms. Wagener

In English, we learned all about different types of writing, such as argument and creative. We read a short story called "The Hitchhiker" by Lucille Fletcher and a novel called Percy Jackson and the Olympians, the Lightning Thief by Rick Riordan.

This assignment was about inserting memes of how 2020 was, how we think 2021 will be or how its going and new years resolutions. The reason I chose this assignment is because so far in English class, this one assignment was the most fun, entertaining and easiest assignment.

Science

With Mrs. Rivera

My favorite assignment...

https://lms.lausd.net/assignment/4760610900/info

This assignment was about researching things about jellyfish like how they have survived for many years, how they still live without brains and what are the advantages of them not having a spinal cord. I chose this assignment because for me it was the most challenging but it makes sense for me because I mean we are in 6th grade and i also chose it because it was also one of the most entertaining ones

In Science, we've learned about natural systems, living systems, cells, body systems, and much more.

Math

With Ms. Jenkins

My favorite assignment...

Math topics include the following: GCF/LCM, rates and proportions, integers, expressions and equations, and statistics. If time allows, we get into basic geometry. We also do a handful of hands-on projects throughout the year.

Ever curious about how choreographers get their inspiration? Well, you are in luck because currently we are learning about the world of Modern Dance and how using Pantomimes and gestures (real life movements) can be inspired into creating realistic dances. Who would have ever thought I can turn something as simple as brushing my teeth into a dance!?!
