Art for the Week of September 30th to October 4th
Greetings!
Hope this windy, wet weather doesn't have you too bogged down; it's the first of much more, I'm afraid. Just a few odds & ends before I get to the Art for the week. We have started to gear up for our fundraiser--the "Fun(d) Run". It will take place on Wednesday, October 9th in the afternoon. Hopefully your student has begun to collect pledges, which will go directly into the A.S.B. account. This money goes directly to activities that impact our students, such as sports' uniforms, transportation for Outdoor School, prizes for contests, etc. Please encourage your student to participate in this worthwhile event. This upcoming week is "Spirit Week", so dressing up will be the order of the day. Here's the schedule: Monday--"Pajama Day", Tuesday--"Everyone Counts Day" (dress up in a jersey with a number on it), Wednesday--"Crazy Hair Day", Thursday--"Super Hero Day", and Friday--"Black & White Day" (6th graders wear white, 7th graders wear black, and 8th graders wear black & white). There are prizes for outstanding participants, so please encourage your student to participate.
For Art this week, we will continue to work on the "Elements of Art" book. This is a big project, and it will take us several weeks to complete it. Right now your student should have completed the title page as well as the page for "Line". Monday we will begin to work on "Shape", Tuesday on "Form", and Wednesday on "Color" (this one will take us through the end of the week). Please ask your student if you can take a look at what has been completed so far.
As always, please feel free to contact me. The phone number in my classroom is (360) 264-3644 and my email address is humblem@tenino.k12.wa.us
Have a wonderful week,
Michele Humble

The Week of September 30th to October 4th
Greetings!
Hope this windy, wet weather doesn't have you down. Also hope to see you at the Cispus Outdoor School Meeting on Tuesday, October 1st at 7:00 P.M. in the Commons at the middle school. Lots of information and forms to fill out. Another little reminder, we at the middle school have started working on our fund raiser, the "Fun(d) Run". Hopefully your student is gathering some pledges for this run/walk-a-thon. It is our fund raiser for the A.S.B. account which funds things such as transportation to Cispus, uniforms, prizes for various contests, etc. So please do what you can to encourage your student to participate. One last thing, this is "Spirit Week", so dressing up will be the norm. Monday is "Pajama Day", Tuesday's "Everyon Counts" (Wear a jersey with a number on it), Wednesday is "Crazy Hair Day", Thursday is "Super Hero Day", and Friday is "Black & White Day" (6th graders are to wear all white). Students really get into this, and there will be prizes for participation.
Now on to this week's plans:
SCIENCE--We will continue to work on labs this week; the "Candy & Liquid" and the "Wind Up Toys" labs, so there will be no homework. Please check your student's grade, however, because there have been several missing assignments, and even one can really bring your student's grade down.
ACADEMY--We're working on the "Capitalization & Punctuation" unit now, with the first assignment (Capitalization WS) in the grade book. We will correct the other two (End Punctuation WS & Retro (review) WS) on Monday--those were all due last week. TUESDAY WE WILL TAKE THE FIRST QUIZ ON THOSE CONCEPTS. Please help your student study on Monday night. There will be homework Wednesday (Commas WS) and Thursday (Colons WS). Each of those will be due the following day. No homework over the weekend from me, of course.
As always, feel free to contact me with any questions and/or concerns. (Classroom phone number: (360) 264-3644 and email address: humblem@tenino.k12.wa.us)

Greetings!
I'm sorry this is a little late, I've been swamped this week because we've been so busy. Please forgive me. As much as I'd like to say this will never happen again, I know better--Sigh! Now on to the important info for this week & next:
THE PARENT MEETING FOR OUTDOOR SCHOOL (Cispus) WILL BE TUESDAY, OCTOBER 1st AT 7:00 P.M. IN THE COMMONS AT THE MIDDLE SCHOOL. Please plan on attending if at all possible. It should last about an hour and Mrs. Dozois and I will be presenting. Hopefully we will be able to answer all of your questions at this time. There will be handouts, necessary forms, and we will be able to accept payment ($75) at this time. Hope to see you there!
SCIENCE--We will be doing mostly in class work this week, with the exception of one homework assignment on Thursday; it will be due on Friday. Monday & Tuesday students are working on teams in the Measurement Lab. Wednesday they will finish that up and/or will receive their Science textbooks. This is where the homework assignment comes in--it is the "Book Damage Sheet". They will need to go through their textbooks to look for and report damage. On Thursday we will (hopefully) work on the "Tiger Lab" and Friday we will begin working on the first of the Scientific Method labs.
ACADEMY--We are beginning to work on our unit on Capitalization & Punctuation (Mr. Long's Language Arts pre-test showed there was a real need for this). Look for homework Tuesday, Wednesday, & Thursday evenings. We will correct all of these in class on Friday. I try VERY hard NOT to give homework over the weekends.
As always, please contact me if you have any questions or concerns. The phone number in my classroom is (360) 264-3644 and the best email address to reach me at is humblem@tenino.k12.wa.us

Greetings Parents & Guardians of My Art Students!
Sorry this has been a bit late--I've been swamped. Sorry, I know I rarely accept that excuse from the students, but...... I'd like to say it won't happen again, but I know better. Now, on to what we're doing this week.
We are beginning a huge project--our "Elements of Art" book. This will take us about three weeks. It will be worth A LOT of points (200), so please keep tabs on your student's progress on it. There is rarely homework in Art if your child uses his/her time wisely. Ask your student to show you his/her daily progress on the "Elements of Art".
As always, if you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to contact me. The phone number in my classroom is (360) 264-3644 and the best email address to reach me at is humblem@tenino.k12.wa.us

Third Week of Middle School
Well, it looks like we've survived the first two weeks of school! Now it's on to the third. Here are some bits of information you may need to be aware of:
In Science this week we will be doing more practice on note taking, review the Scientific Method, will cover Lab Safety, and will participate in activities that include observing and stereotyping. Although there will be in class assignments, there should not be any homework in Science this week.
Please review the three assignments your student has done in Science so far. If any of them are missing, your student's grade will really plunge. Please insure that your child turns in the work.
As always, please contact me with any questions. My classroom phone number is (360) 264-3644 and the best email address is humblem@tenino.k12.wa.us
Have a delightful week,

- Outdoor School will be Tuesday, October 22nd through Friday, October 25th. There will be a parent information night in early October.

The cost this year will be $75. You may pay at any time--please make checks payable to Tenino Middle School.
- This week your student will be participating in the MAP testing. This will take place Wednesday, September 18th and Thursday, September 19th. We will be taking Reading and Math tests.
