Grade 6: Week of February 21st to 24th

Parents please note that progress reports go out on Tuesday.

We will begin the exciting Rock Cycle unit. First we will explore what minerals we use in our every day lives, and then which minerals North Carolina produces. Students will research their own birthstone and present it to the class. Finally we will examine properties of minerals and identify common rocks according to their color and Mohs hardness scale.

Homework for the week:

Tuesday night: Make a list of 10 objects made from minerals
Wednesday night: Research your birthstone and write a paragraph; pg. 455 if not finished
