7th 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 taking "Cornell Notes" in class.  Students will practice this on a Scientific Method video, and these notes will be due at the end of the period, so NO HOMEWORK.

TUESDAY--Students will complete notes in their Science Notebooks on the Scientific Method, so again NO HOMEWORK.

WEDNESDAY--LATE START DAY--Students will begin working on their posters on the Scientific Method.  This is HOMEWORK DUE FRIDAY.

THURSDAY--Students will continue working on their Scientific Method posters--this will be HOMEWORK DUE FRIDAY.

FRIDAY--Students will add more notes to their Science Notebooks, so NO HOMEWORK.

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.

With more than half of my Seventh Grade Science Class involved in school sports, I would like to remind him/her that grades can impact eligibility. A failing grade in any class results in the student-athlete not being able to play in a game/match.  Please remind your student to take care of his/her assignments, projects, quizzes, and tests to remind eligible.

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
