Greetings!
What a busy week! Hope you are looking forward to the "Student Led Conferences" that will take place Tuesday through Thursday with Tuesday being reserved for our evening conferences. Remember: YOUR student will be leading the conferences, and hopefully you have already called and set up your conference time. They are REQUIRED for the students, so even if you can't attend, your student will present theirs to a staff member and will be videotaped. Then that will be sent to you. However, I will tell you from past experience, they are much better in person.
Now on to this week's plans:
MONDAY--Student groups will practice their "Organ Systems Slide Show" in their groups. No homework, however the PRESENTATIONS WILL BE TUESDAY.
TUESDAY--Student groups will give their "Organ Systems Slide Show". NO HOMEWORK.
WEDNESDAY--LATE START DAY--Preparation will begin for the "Frog Dissection", so NO HOMEWORK.
THURSDAY & FRIDAY--Students will work on their "Frog Dissection", so NO HOMEWORK.
I'm sure you have already made arrangements for the "LATE START DAY on Wednesday this week, right?
As for the "Frog Dissection"--this activity will take us three-four class days. It is voluntary; any student who does not wish to participate will be given a substitute assignment. Students will be allowed to pick their lab partner for this project. If you can send an old shirt to cover clothing with, that would be ideal. Now, here's the "biggie": In order to participate, YOUR STUDENT MUST BE RECEIVING A PASSING GRADE--that means a "D" or higher. I will be staying after school until 4:30 p.m. tomorrow (Tuesday, March 20th), but can only stay until 3:30 p.m. on Wednesday. You might want to discuss this with your student. It is a GREAT opportunity, and I hate to see any student miss it because they have not taken care of their academic responsibilities.
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
Have a wonderful week,
Michele Humble
