Greetings!
Phew! Is it hot! Wish we could save this weather for Thursday when we go to Wild Waves. So here are the plans for this week:
MONDAY--This will be the last day students have to work on their Biography Project in class. It now becomes HOMEWORK DUE WEDNESDAY.
TUESDAY--Students will brainstorm middle school topics for the incoming sixth graders. They will be working in groups to create a five paragraph essay in letter format to cover these topics. This project will be DUE FRIDAY.
WEDNESDAY--Students will work on their "Sixth Grade Letter"/essay. NO HOMEWORK, but DUE FRIDAY.
THURSDAY--On Track Day at Wild Waves for Qualifying Students--Students not going will work on the "Sixth Grade Letter" which is DUE FRIDAY.
FRIDAY--Students will rehearse presenting their "Sixth Grade Letters" for Monday. So NO "real" HOMEWORK over the weekend.
Even though we have only seven days left, I would like to point out that the grade you see here is NOT necessarily "What You See Is What You Get". You will notice there are still several assignments left (Biography Project--worth 100 points, Sixth Grade Letter, two more Agenda grades-- a total of 20 points). This could still change your student's grade a lot. Please monitor their work for completeness and quality, and make sure it gets turned in. The Biography Project is especially important (100 POINTS). These may be turned in early.
Please contact me with questions, comments, and/or concerns if you have any. The best email address 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
