Hello Parents and Students,

I can’t believe that summer is just 4 school days away! Thank you so much for a great year, these kids have been awesome and I wish them the best of luck in 7th grade!
As you have probably heard I will be moving at the end of the school year. I have accepted a job at Trent Middle School in Frisco, Texas. I will miss all these kids very much, I have enjoyed the past 3 years at White Oak, it is such a great school and community! I am very blessed to be a part of it. Thank you so much for all of you support this year! 🙂

Objective: Students received a list of vocabulary words to study

Hello Parents and Students,

2 more weeks, can’t believe it!
This week week we are going to cover plate tectonics as well as review rocks and the rock cycle throughout the week.

Objective: 6.10 C,D
Students will locate and identify the major tectonic plates on a world map. They will describe how different types of plate movements are responsible for geological events such as ocean basins, earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, and mountain building.

Monday/Tuesday (rock Cycle Homework due)
Review Rock Cycle
Jigsaw

Wednesday
Reward PArty

Thursday/Friday
QUIZ (rocks, rock cycle)

Maroon Day classes were sent home with some information to read for homework. They should have 3 sheets over the types of rocks.
They need to read and highlight the important parts. (definitions, processes, examples)
This will be due Thursday

White day classes will get this tomorrow.

If you were absent come see me before study hall! (GT Students)

Week 34 May 11-15

May8

Hello Parents and Students,

I am so excited for the next two weeks…we get to explore ROCKS!!! We are going to have so much fun, you will never look at rocks the same! 🙂

Objective: 6.10 B
We will classify igneous, sedimentary, and metamorphic rocks based on the processes of their formation. They will develop an understanding of the multiple pathways of the rock cycle.

Monday- (white)
-LAB
Weathering

Tuesday/Wednesday
Sedimentary, Igneous, Metamorphic Rocks

Thursday/Friday

Week 32- April 27-31

April25

Hello Parents and Students,

5 more weeks, I can’t believe it!

Projects are due next week! May 4th and 5th!

This week we are moving on to learn about Earth’s Structure. We will talk about the different layers and their physical properties. Anything that we do not get finished in class will be homework!

Objective: 6.10 A
Students will build model of the structural layers of the Earth including, inner core, outer core, lithosphere, asthenosphere, mantle, crust. They will also study some of the characteristics of each layer. This will build a good foundation for plate tectonics in the next unit.

Monday
Solar System Test
Projects

Tuesday/Wednesday
Apple Earth- Layers demonstration
Create Model of Layers- Homework if not completed in class

Thursday/Friday
Notes on the Layers
1 More Model
