6th Grade Science Plans for September 19th through 23rd, 2016

Greetings and welcome to Week #3 of TMS!

We are easing into the school year with much success so far.  Please look carefully at your student's grades in this progress report, and discuss any missing work with him/her.  Here are the plans for this week:

MONDAY--We will cover a slide presentation on Science Notebooks and will do a group activity, so NO HOMEWORK.

TUESDAY--We will do an "Observations" activity in class today.  The assignment will be turned in at the end of the period, so again NO HOMEWORK.

WEDNESDAY--LATE START DAY--Students will watch a video on Outdoor School, so NO HOMEWORK.

THURSDAY--Students will go over the course syllabus for this Science class.  There will be a required signed page--this will be HOMEWORK DUE FRIDAY.

FRIDAY--Students will go over note taking skills, then will practice them in class.  This will be due at the end of the class, so NO HOMEWORK.

Hopefully, you received the email about the PARENT/GUARDIAN OUTDOOR SCHOOL MEETING next THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 29TH AT 7:00 P.M.  I hope you will be able to attend.  This will be an informational meeting for you.  It is your opportunity to learn  about the Sixth Grade program we run at Cispus.  (It was scheduled AFTER football practice just for that purpose.)  Hope to see you there.

Your student has now been issued a Chromebook, and if the requirements have been met (annual $25 insurance fee, online slide presentation & accompanying quiz, user sheet has been signed by both parent & student and has been turned in) your student is bringing it home.  We will be easing into its use in the various classrooms, so please be on the lookout for those activities.

Also, please be aware that this Wednesday will be our first LATE START DAY.  Hopefully, you have already made arrangements for this.

If you have any questions, comments, and/or concerns, please contact me as soon as possible.  The best email address is:  humblem@tenino.k12.wa.us and the phone number in my classroom is:  (360) 264-3644.  I would recommend you not use Skyward to contact any of your student's teachers; using the District email addresses is far quicker (teacher last name, first initial @tenino.k12.wa.us).

Have a wonderful week,
Michele Humble
