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)
