Academy 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 continue to work on the penmanship unit.  Penmanship WorkSheet 12 & 13 is HOMEWORK DUE WEDNESDAY.

 

WEDNESDAY--LATE START DAY--Students will elect their class officers, so NO HOMEWORK.

 

THURSDAY--Students will work on Penmanship WS 14 & 15--this will be HOMEWORK DUE FRIDAY.

 

FRIDAY--Students will work on Penmanship WS 16 & 17, HOMEWORK DUE TUESDAY.

 

Please plan on attending the PARENT/GUARDIAN OUTDOOR SCHOOL MEETING on THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 29TH at 7:00 P.M. in the Commons at TMS.  It is an informational meeting on our Sixth Grade Outdoor School program at Cispus.  It is time for you to ask questions, fill out forms, and find out what our program involves.  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
