Greetings!
So the nice weather is supposed to arrive on Wednesday--let's hope so. I think we are all getting a little tired of five minutes of sunshine followed by fifteen minutes of rain/wind/hail/etc. Now on to this week's plans:
This will be a "Smarter Balanced" testing week on Monday & Tuesday, so don't look for any homework on those days.
WEDNESDAY & THURSDAY--Students will receive a list of 21 vocabulary words plus a diagram of the solar system to put into their Science Notebooks. This will be due on Friday, and they will have time in class to work on these both days.
FRIDAY--Either a lab or Space video. I want to see what the climate of the building testing dictates. Either way, no homework.
So now for the BIG NEWS! Whenever I ask the sixth graders if they want the good or bad news first, they pick the bad. So, the BAD NEWS is that you will need to have your sixth grader to school at 7:00 A.M. ON TUESDAY, MAY 6TH. Now the good news is why. On that day, we will be going to downtown Seattle to Benaroya Hall to see the National Geographic production of "Life in Space". There will be no cost to the students, but they will need to bring a sack lunch. We want to leave at 7:00 a.m. because the production starts at 10:30 a.m. The show will last about an hour. We will then eat lunch and head for home. We should arrive back in time for the students to take their regular buses home. Now, more big news: I AM IN NEED OF FIVE TO SEVEN CHAPERONS. If you are interested please call [Office-(360)264-3600 or my classroom (360) 264-3644] or email me (humblem@tenino.k12.wa.us) You will need to have all of the volunteer forms filled out and filed prior to the event. I am really excited about this opportunity for our students--it will fit in with our Space unit in Science, and will give them a chance to see "The Emerald City" up close and personal.
As always, please contact me with any questions, comments, or concerns you may have,
Michele Humble
