Greetings!
No, I have not fallen off the face of the Earth! It was just that the computer program had turned every student's grade to an "F", and I really didn't want to send out inaccurate progress reports like that. So thank Mr. Palmer for getting my grade book straightened out. And Mr. Long assured me that he was even further behind at getting his grades into his grade book--but he might only say that to make me feel better. So, now, on to this week's work:
SCIENCE--The students have finally finished up the Mixtures & Solutions (Chemistry) test (100 points). It will take me about one week to get all of those graded, and then at least that long to get the 105 Science Notebooks (another 100 points) graded, so please be patient. In the meantime, last Thursday students received a HOMEWORK ASSIGNMENT and had 2 1/2 days in class to work on it. THIS ASSIGNMENT (Chapter 2 Worksheets) IS DUE ON TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 25TH. Please check to make sure your student has completed this work. Also, this week we will start our Microscope Unit. Most of the work will be through labs, but there are a couple of homework assignments and several tests & quizzes. I will try to give you plenty of time to study for them.
ACADEMY--We are continuing to work on the Figurative Speech Unit, and it looks like the TEST WILL BE THIS FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 28TH. Please help your student study for this. It's not hard, but they should be able to tell the six figures of speech apart (Similes, Metaphors, Personification, Onomatopoeia, Alliteration, and Hyperbole). Each student has a "practice sheet" on each one of these figures of speech, so there is no excuse not to study. There is a slight chance the test will be pushed back to Monday or Tuesday, but plan for this Friday.
Please contact me ASAP with any questions or concerns you may have. I can be reached by email at humblem@tenino.k12.wa.us or by phone at (360) 264-3644.
Have a wonderful week,
Michele Humble
