7th Grade Science Plans for February 16th through 20th, 2015

Greetings!

I'm all caught up on my grading!  Hooray!  And here are the plans for this short week:

MONDAY--PRESIDENTS' DAY--NO SCHOOL

TUESDAY--Students will use the microscopes for the "Microscope Views of Roots" lab, so NO HOMEWORK. 

WEDNESDAY--Students will begin the class by doing an exam.  The rest of the period will be time for students to read the article on seed dispersal.  This needs to be done BY THURSDAY, SO IT IS HOMEWORK.

THURSDAY & FRIDAY--Students will start working on their "Seed Dispersal Posters".  If not completed by Friday, it will be a HOMEWORK ASSIGNMENT which will be DUE ON MONDAY.

As for other information about this week, I will be gone on Thursday & Friday, so there will be a sub.

Please contact me at the classroom phone number (360-264-3644) or at this email address (humblem@tenino.k12.wa.us) if you have any questions, comments, or concerns.

Have a wonderful week,

I'm all caught up on my grading!  Hooray!  And here are the plans for this short week:

MONDAY--PRESIDENTS' DAY--NO SCHOOL

TUESDAY--We are going over the "Golden Goblet" Chapter 14 Cloze Activity worksheet in class.  Students are to turn it in at the end of the period, so NO HOMEWORK. 

WEDNESDAY--Students will answer the questions over "Golden Goblet" Chapters 13 & 14.  Students will also do the Vocabulary worksheet on Chapters 15 & 16 in "The Golden Goblet".  Both of these assignments are HOMEWORK, which will be DUE ON THURSDAY.

THURSDAY--Mrs. Benek, our counselor, will be coming in weekly on Thursdays to present our "Straight Talk" program for the next eight weeks.  On these days I do not BELIEVE there will be any homework on these days.

From reading the information above, you already know there was "No School on Monday", and that we're starting the "Straight Talk" program this week.  Also, I will be gone on Friday, so there will be a sub.

Art Plans for February 2nd through 6th, 2015

Greetings!

As for "The Big Game", I have only two comments:  Sigh! and Why?  Ah well, I guess I should stick to what I know, and not venture into a field where I have little expertise.  As they say, "There's always next year!"

I hope the progress report is the final one for the first semester--in Skyward what you see is not what I see.  I believe the "hard copy report cards will be printed and mailed out later this week, or early next week for sure.  Below are our plans for the first week of Quarter #3--here goes:

MONDAY--Students will practice with water colors.  NO HOMEWORK.

TUESDAY & WEDNESDAY--Students will work on painting their masks.  NO HOMEWORK.

THURSDAY & FRIDAY--Students will begin working on their paper mache' masks.  NO HOMEWORK.

There are no special announcements I can think of for this week.  Please contact me [Classroom phone number:  (360) 264-3644 and email address humblem@tenino.k12.wa.us] with any of your questions, comments, or concerns, and have a wonderful week!
