Greetings!
Hope everyone enjoyed the Thanksgiving break and now have his/her batteries recharged to get us through to Tuesday, December 19th. Here is what we will be doing this week:
MONDAY--Students will write a reflection in their Science Notebooks on the effect of mass on motion. This will be DUE AT THE END OF THE PERIOD, so NO HOMEWORK. They will also add notes to their Science Notebooks on Net Force.
TUESDAY--Students will read two articles from the textbook: "Difference Between Mass and Weight" (pg. 27) and "Magnetic Fields" (pgs. 34-35). Then they will work on a worksheet on net mass. This is HOMEWORK DUE WEDNESDAY.
WEDNESDAY--Students will write the procedure for Investigation 3.1 then will begin to work on it in a lab setting, so NO HOMEWORK.
THURSDAY--Students will complete Investigation 3.1 in class, so NO HOMEWORK.
FRIDAY--Students will write the procedure for Investigation 3.2, so NO HOMEWORK.
No late start or early release this week--just a "regular" schedule (if there is such a thing in middle school).
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

7th Grade Science Plans for November 13th through 17th, 2017
Greetings!
No, I did not fall off the face of the Earth! You're still stuck with me. Sorry I didn't post last week--with being gone and half days and conferences, there just were not enough hours in the day. So here is what we are doing this week:
MONDAY--Students created data tables in their Science Notebooks and began Investigation 2.2, so NO HOMEWORK.
TUESDAY--Students completed Investigation 2.2, so again NO HOMEWORK.
WEDNESDAY--LATE START DAY--We will hold our "End of the Quarter Auction" (Bring in those Humble Bucks!) and elect our new treasurer and vice treasurer, so again NO HOMEWORK.
THURSDAY--Students will get back several assignments, and will REVIEW FOR THE RETAKE OF THE PROCEDURE TEST. For students who choose to retake the test, it WILL COUNT ON THEIR QUARTER #1 REPORT CARD GRADE.
FRIDAY--Students will RETAKE THE PROCEDURE WRITING TEST. NO HOMEWORK.
For those of you that I had the opportunity to meet with during conferences, I hope you enjoyed them as much as I did. If you were unable to attend and would still like one, feel free to contact me, and we will set one up. Let's begin Quarter #2 with a fresh start!
With the exception of the Procedure Writing Test on Friday, the grades you see on this progress report pretty much reflect "What you see is what you get" on the first quarter report card. Since today is the last day of "Quarter #1", it's too late for missing work, test retakes, and/or extra credit. Look for this report card to be printed up and sent home in about a week.
I'm sure you are well aware that WEDNESDAY IS A LATE START DAY, so I'm also certain that you have planned ahead for it.
As we start the new quarter, as always please contact me with any questions, comments and/or concerns you may have. 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
