7th Grade Science Plans for March 7th through 11th, 2016

Greetings!

Well, everything has been graded and entered into this grade book except some extra credit.  A reminder that this second trimester comes to a close on Friday, March 19th, and that will be an early release day.  Now on to this week's plans:

MONDAY--Students will be given an article entitled "Seeds on the Move" and a worksheet to go along with it.  This is HOMEWORK DUE TUESDAY.

TUESDAY & WEDNESDAY--Students will begin working on their "Seed Dispersal Posters".  This will be HOMEWORK DUE THURSDAY.  Remember:  SCIENCE NOTEBOOKS ARE DUE TODAY.

THURSDAY--Students will watch a video on plants.  There is a worksheet to go along with it which will be DUE AT THE END OF THE PERIOD, so NO HOMEWORK.

FRIDAY--Students will take Exam #5 as a post-test and will also take the pretest for Exam #6.  These will be DUE AT THE END OF THE PERIOD, so NO HOMEWORK.

The Science Notebooks, which are due Tuesday, March 8th, are worth 100 points, so if your student has crashed and burned on other assignments and/or tests, a great job on his/her Science Notebook will help bail that grade out.  Monday night would be a good time to look it over before turning it in on Tuesday.

It has come to my attention that when students are absent, parents are contacting the Office asking for the work your student will miss.  That is a VERY GOOD THING, and it is greatly appreciated.  Please be aware that my planning time is 2nd period (approximately 9:15 to 10:00 a.m.).  If the school is contacted after that time, I will not be able to get your student's work.  I have five straight Science classes to set up for, and will not have time to do that.  If you can please contact the Office (or email or call me) EARLY (or at lease before 9:00 a.m.), I should be able to locate your student's assignments and get it down to the Office.  Thank you for this in advance.

Two reminders:
Wednesday, March 9th is a LATE START DAY, so please plan accordingly, and
Friday, March 11th is the LAST DAY FOR MISSING ASSIGNMENTS, LATE WORK, AND EXTRA CREDIT.

Please feel free to contact me with any questions, comments, and/or concerns you may have.  The best email to reach me at is humblem@tenino.k12.wa.us and the phone number in my classroom is (360) 264-3644.

Have a wonderful week,
Michele Humble
