Greetings!
Well, let's hope for a "normal" week of attendance--and no slippery roads! Here's what we are doing this week:
MONDAY & TUESDAY--Students will be reading from the textbook and will be taking notes in their Science Notebooks. There will be a worksheet to go along with this, and it is HOMEWORK DUE THURSDAY.
WEDNESDAY--LATE START DAY--Students will watch a video on genes, so NO HOMEWORK.
THURSDAY & FRIDAY--We are having a guest speaker/scientist making a presentation on genetics, so NO HOMEWORK.
Just a reminder that this Wednesday, February 28th is a LATE START DAY. Hopefully you have made prior arrangements for this.
We have only had three assignments so far this term, and many students are missing two of them. There IS Saturday School this weekend (Saturday, March 3rd from 8:00 a.m. to noon in the library here at the middle school), so if you are unsatisfied with your student's present grade, you may want to call the Office (360-264-3600) and arrange for your child to attend. I will be making some contacts (phone calls or emails) to see if a failing student can be at Saturday School this week.
If you have any questions, comments, and/or concerns, please 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

6th Grade Science Plans for February 27th through March 2nd, 2018
Greetings!
Well, let's hope for a "normal" week of attendance--and no slippery roads! Here's what we are doing this week:
MONDAY--Students will receive their "Lesson #2 Quiz" back and we will go over it in class, so NO HOMEWORK.
TUESDAY--Students will review of the "Cell Organelles and Their Functions" test. This TEST WILL BE ON FRIDAY, March 2nd, so your student should begin STUDYING NOW.
WEDNESDAY--LATE START DAY--Students will take a PRACTICE TEST. Students should CONTINUE STUDYING FOR FRIDAY'S TEST.
THURSDAY--Students will continue to review for the "Cell Organelles and Their Functions" TEST. Please CONTINUE TO STUDY FOR FRIDAY'S TEST.
FRIDAY--Students will take the "Cell Organelles and Their Functions TEST". This test is WORTH 100 POINTS. It will be DUE AT THE END OF THE PERIOD. NO HOMEWORK.
Just a reminder that this Wednesday, February 28th is a LATE START DAY. Hopefully you have made prior arrangements for this.
As you can tell from above, the Cells Test on Friday is a big deal. Please help your student study for it this week. Students did not do very well on the Lesson #2 Quiz. I am allowing students to RETAKE THIS QUIZ. They must do this on their own time (before school, after school, during lunch, or at Saturday School) and the DEADLINE TO RETAKE THE QUIZ IS MONDAY, MARCH 5TH. We reviewed the contents of the quiz in class this past Monday, so improving on the quiz should be easy. After looking at your student's score, please encourage him/her to retake it if he/she did poorly.
We have only had six assignments so far this term, and many students are missing three of them. There IS Saturday School this weekend (Saturday, March 3rd from 8:00 a.m. to noon in the library here at the middle school), so if you are unsatisfied with your student's present grade, you may want to call the Office (360-264-3600) and arrange for your child to attend.

7th Grade Science Plans for February 19th through 23rd, 2018
Greetings & Brrrr!
Hope you're enjoying our cold & snowy weather--makes for some interesting driving. Here are the plans for the week:
MONDAY & TUESDAY--Mid-Winter Break--NO SCHOOL
WEDNESDAY--LATE START DUE TO SNOW--Students will be getting back assignments, so no new homework, however they will be TURNING IN SEVERAL ASSIGNMENTS FROM LAST WEEK (Investigations 3.1, 3.2, 3.3, etc.). NO HOMEWORK.
THURSDAY--Students will be adding notes to their Science Notebooks, so NO HOMEWORK.
FRIDAY--Since may AVID students will be gone on their field trip, this will be a "catch up day" for the remaining students, so NO NEW HOMEWORK.
Many of my students are AVID students who will be going on their big field trip to the University of Oregon and Oregon State University on Friday. If your student is one of them, please be sure to get all necessary paperwork turned in on time. That will be a terrific field trip--would hate to see any student miss it.
FYI, I will be gone for part of Thursday and all day Friday. Mr. Nelson, our building guest teacher will be in charge of my classes. Students know this is an excellent opportunity to earn extra "Humble Bucks" and class shields. If you need to communicate with me, email will be the best way while I am gone.
Please be aware of the cold predictions this week, and stay turned for further late starts and/or closures. The Tenino School District website is an excellent source of information, assuming you have electricity.
As always, please feel free to contact me with questions, comments, and/or concerns. 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 February 12th through 16th, 2018
Greetings!
No, I did not fall off the edge of the Earth--between grading papers, the end of the term, and Knowledge Bowl, I have been swamped. But! Report cards are now in the mail, and this is the last week of Knowledge Bowl, so from now on, I should have no more excuses. So here are the plans for this week:
MONDAY--Students added notes to their Science Notebooks, so NO HOMEWORK.
TUESDAY--Students will finish Investigation 3.3 from last week. NO HOMEWORK.
WEDNESDAY--LATE START DAY--Students will watch a video on cells. NO HOMEWORK.
THURSDAY--Students will work on the lab for Investigation 3.2. On pages 38-39 questions #1-#10 are to be answered. If they are not completed in class they are HOMEWORK DUE FRIDAY.
FRIDAY--Students will take part in the Investigation 3.4 lab. This should be completed in class, so NO HOMEWORK.
Just a reminder that this Wednesday (2/14) is a LATE START DAY. Hopefully you have already made arrangements for that. And remember that NEXT WEEK is Mid-Winter Break, so there will be NO SCHOOL MONDAY, FEB. 19TH & TUESDAY, FEB. 20TH.
Also, please be on the look out for the first semester report cards--they should be in the mail if you haven't already received them.
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

MONDAY--Students worked on Investigation 3.2, which is a lab. However there were FOUR QUESTIONS on the worksheet that should be considered HOMEWORK DUE TUESDAY.
TUESDAY--Students will take the Pre-Test on cell parts and their functions. They will also complete the quiz they started last Friday. This will be turned in with two other assignments from last week, so look for THREE GRADES to go in your student's Science grade soon. NO HOMEWORK.
WEDNESDAY--LATE START DAY--Students will watch a video on cells. NO HOMEWORK.
THURSDAY--Students will take notes on cell parts and their functions in their Science Notebooks, so NO HOMEWORK.
FRIDAY--Students will read pages 49-51 in the textbook and will answer Question #10 (a-d) on page 48. This should be completed in class, so NO HOMEWORK.
