Greetings!
Please forgive me for being so behind; I apologize profusely and will try not to let this happen again. Not that it's an acceptable excuse, but planning for Outdoor School is really time consuming--but well worth it. I think the students had a wonderful time, at least I hope so. Even though the weather didn't exactly cooperate, the classes were terrific, the high school counselors were wonderful, and Talent Night was super!
Now on to a couple of announcements:
Because this is the last week of the first quarter, all extra credit, missing assignments, and/or late work needs to be turned in by Friday. I plan on grading up a storm this weekend, so work MUST be turned in by then.
You are probably aware that ALL OF NEXT WEEK IS EARLY RELEASE; hopefully you have planned accordingly.
If you would still like a conference and have not been contacted so far, please call the Office (360-264-3600) and ask to schedule one. We try to have all of the teachers there that you request; you may need to talk with only one, or possibly all of us--we try hard to make that happen.
As for the rest of this week, students worked on research on an element they selected today (Wednesday) and will begin making a model of it for the next several days--so no homework.
I hope to see many of you next week at conferences, and if not, enjoy the "short" week. As always, feel free to contact me (Classroom phone # 360-264-3644 or email address humblem@tenino.k12.wa.us
Have a wonderful week,

As for the rest of this week, students will print out their "Lit Logs" tomorrow (Thursday) and I will grade these as part of your student's Academy class. Also, we will begin working on the personal narrative based on an Outdoor School experience, so your child will brainstorm this tomorrow. That brainstorming paper will be due on Friday.

6th Grade Academy & Science Classes for the Week of October 6th through 10th, 2014
Greetings!
I'm combining my Academy & 6th Grade Science classes' progress reports this week because I'm a bit slammed for time--Sorry about that. If your student only has me for one of these classes, please ignore the other.
First of all, some announcements:
Please TURN IN OUTDOOR SCHOOL FORMS ASAP--I need to send in those orders for the T-Shirts on Wednesday, and Nurse Rachel needs time to go through those medical forms. Even if you haven't paid yet, those forms are vital, so please hurry them on in.
LATE START this Wednesday--hopefully that didn't catch you unaware.
Now on to this week's plans!
ACADEMY--Sorry about last week's personal narrative project. It didn't happen because of computer difficulties. Got YOU out of homework this weekend when we had such beautiful weather! I will reschedule this project.
MONDAY--Students will be making entries in their Lit Logs (computers willing), so no homework.
TUESDAY--Students will be making posters (spelling counts!), so there IS HOMEWORK. These will be due Thursday.
WEDNESDAY--LATE START. No homework.
THURSDAY--Besides Lit Log entries, I want to demo student use of Skyward to check their grades, hence no homework.
FRIDAY--No homework. We will demo the personal narrative.
Now on to SCIENCE:
MONDAY--We will read Chapter 1 in class and will discuss it. No homework.
TUESDAY--We will begin the written assignment in class, so no homework.
WEDNESDAY--We will continue working on the Chapter 1 Section 1 assignment, however it will be due on Thursday, so HOMEWORK.
THURSDAY--Outdoor School Student Handbooks in class, hence no homework.
FRIDAY--Will probably need a second day to go over the ODS Student Handbooks in class. Regardless, there will be no homework.
Have a wonderful week, and please get those Outdoor School forms in ASAP. As always, please feel free to contact me with any questions, comments, or concerns. (Phone--(360) 264-3644, Email--humblem@tenino.k12.wa.us)
