Science Plans for May 12th through 16th, 2014

Greetings!

Hope you had an enjoyable Mother's Day and are all set for a week of incredibly warm weather!  Sorry I am a day behind on this, but I enjoyed Mom's Day, too, with my children.  (Both of whom are Tenino Beaver grads, I'm proud to say.)  Now on to the plans for the week:


MONDAY--Students will receive their "Moon Logs" today.  They should be observing the Moon's phases for the next month and recording their observations on these sheets.  Easy to do if you keep track of when the moon rises and sets--Today it rose at 6:31 p.m.  Tomorrow (Tuesday) it will be about 45 minutes later.  Also, we watched a movie about the Moon, so NO HOMEWORK TODAY.


TUESDAY--Students will receive their "Phases of the Moon Puzzle".  Although the students will receive some work time on these in class, they ARE HOMEWORK, and are due tomorrow (Wednesday).  No here's the "biggie"--I will be handing back and going over the FOUR WORKSHEETS students have done for Chapter 1.  STUDENTS NEED TO HOLD ON TO THESE TO STUDY.  We will be taking the TEST ON CHAPTER 1 NEXT WEEK.  It would be wise to start studying now.  These work sheets are SO valuable, AND you can use your student's textbook to study.  The questions will be very similar to those on the worksheets.


WEDNESDAY--LATE START, "Smarter Balanced" Math testing, and the Talent Show.  Needless to say, NO HOMEWORK.  (Except maybe studying for the test.)


THURSDAY--More "Smarter Balanced" Math testing, so I will only see 7th period class.  I will get them caught up on the class they missed last Friday due to the Band Assembly we had.  NO HOMEWORK.


FRIDAY--I will be gone (Aberdeen Friday & Saturday for more Science training), so the substitute will be showing a video on the Moon Landing.  NO HOMEWORK.


Overall, an easy week for the students.  Please start studying for the test; I will send another email by the weekend being more specific on the date.  As always, please contact me with questions, comments, or concerns.


Enjoy the heat, then the rain over the weekend,

Michele Humble
