6th Grade Science Plans for October 16th through 20th, 2017

Greetings!

Well, big day on Tuesday!  Hope you’re all packed for Cispus.  Mrs. Schall, some of the high school counselors, and myself went up there today (Sunday), and it looks great.  Even though the weather forecast for this week isn’t the greatest, I’m sure we are all looking forward to making some “moist memories”.  Here are the plans for the week:

MONDAY—Students will take a “Plant Identification PreTest”.  This will be DUE AT THE END OF THE PERIOD, so NO HOMEWORK.

TUESDAY—Leave for Cispus!

WEDNESDAY & THURSDAY—Have fun at Cispus!

FRIDAY—Return from Cispus!

Hopefully you have made plans to take your student to school on Tuesday morning.  It is very difficult to handle luggage, a sleeping bag, etc. on a school bus.  And, if at all possible, please arrange to have your student picked up on Friday.  We should get back around 2:30 p.m.  Besides handling all that gear, your student will be extremely tired, and not up to facing a school bus ride home.  Thank you!

Last week your student took notes in his/her Science Notebook from the “Electricity Slide Show” I electronically sent him/her.  It appeared the students were doing a great job, so I gave a quiz on the material on Thursday.  Students were ALLOWED TO USE THEIR NOTES on the quiz.  I was very surprised at how poorly the students did.  This week will be crazy, but NEXT WEEK after we return from Cispus, I will allow students to RETAKE THE TEST.  This will probably be Tuesday, October 24th or Wednesday, October 25th).  Please have your student bring home his/her Science Notebook for you to look over.  You can compare what your student has written with the slide presentation; I also attached it to the “Message Center”.  Thank you for your support on this matter.

Even though it won’t impact us up at Cispus, just a reminder that Wednesday, October 18th is a LATE START DAY.  If you have any other students enrolled in the Tenino School District, hopefully you have planned accordingly.

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

Have a wonderful week,
Michele Humble
