October 14th through 18th for Science

Greetings!

The Fund(d) Run certainly lived up to its name on Wednesday; the weather was terrific and I believe a good time was had by all.  Please remind your students to collect those pledges; it would be great if they could all be turned in by Wednesday.

Hopefully your student brought home his/her student handbook for outdoor school yesterday (they received them on Thursday).  Please go over it a bit this weekend, but remember that your student will need to bring them back on Monday (and possibly for Tuesday too), because we have not finished going over them in class yet.

Now here are some jobs I could use help with in preparing for outdoor school:

I need someone to go to "Spinning Tees" (on Harrison in West Olympia) Tuesday afternoon and pick up our 130 shirts.

I also need them washed.  (Sorry, that's a "biggie"!)

Two parents to "screen" the acts for "Talent Night".  This could be either Tuesday & Wednesday or Wednesday & Thursday.  If you know Melanie Hisaw or Sherry Beardslee, they did it last year.  I could put you in contact with them.

If you can do any of these tasks, would you please call my cell phone [(360) 481-1178] ASAP.  I really like to get things nailed down as soon as possible.

And now for some "thank you's":

Sara Rogers for sorting the t-shirt order forms

Carrie Pederson for assembling the student handbooks

Debbie Cline for volunteering to inventory the "tubs" (educational supplies) that will be going up with us

PLEASE HAVE ALL PERMISSION/EMERGENCY FORMS FOR OUTDOOR SCHOOL TURNED IN TO THE SCHOOL BY WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 16TH.  Please try to have the money turned in by Friday, October 18th.

Now for this week's Science:

Monday--We will finish going through the student handbook for outdoor school. (I hope this will only take one day.)*

Tuesday--We will review the "Diet Coke & Mentos" lab, then add a variable to it.  This will require a short (one page) follow up; they didn't do very well on conclusions, so I want to revisit that concept.  THIS WILL BE HOMEWORK.

Wednesday--We will finish up the Chapter 1 Section 1 Worksheet.  THIS IS DUE ON THURSDAY; IT IS HOMEWORK.

Thursday--We will watch a video on the three states of matter.*

Friday--We will begin reading Chapter 1 Section 2.*

*=No homework day.

Have a great weekend & please feel free to contact me with questions and/or concerns,
Michele Humble
