Greetings!
Hope you had a terrific three day weekend! We even had wonderful weather--how often does that happen? Now here is what we are doing this week:
MONDAY--Memorial Day--No School
TUESDAY--Students carry out Investigation 3.2 and record observations in their Science Notebooks. NO HOMEWORK.
WEDNESDAY--Students pair up in "Sharing Circles" to share their information from yesterday. NO HOMEWORK.
THURSDAY-- Students will be introduced to Lesson #4 and will record answers in their Science Notebooks. NO HOMEWORK.
FRIDAY--Students will watch a video on Seasons and will complete worksheets that go with it.
This should be COMPLETED IN CLASS, if not it will be HOMEWORK DUE MONDAY.
Students are continuing on their SBA Testing in Math this week. Please make sure they get a good night's sleep the night before testing and eat well before coming to school on test days. The results are really paying off--from the results we've seen so far, our students are doing well.
I will be gone Friday afternoon--family graduation in Oregon--so there will be a substitute in my place. Things should go smoothly as I have left detailed lesson plans.
If you have any questions, comments, and/or concerns, please don't hesitate to contact me. The best email address to reach me at is humblem@tenino.k12.wa.us and the phone number in my classroom is (360) 264-3644.
Have a wonderful week,

7th Grade Science Plans for May 21st through 25th, 2018
Greetings!
Another week of beautiful weather! And now here is what we are doing with it:
MONDAY--Students will begin Investigation 3.1. We will go over the information from the packet in class, so NO HOMEWORK.
TUESDAY--Students will begin making the graph from yesterday's data, so once again, NO HOMEWORK.
WEDNESDAY--Students will read the article on tides and will answer the questions in their Science Notebooks. They will also preview the directions for tomorrow's lab. NO HOMEWORK.
THURSDAY--Students will carry out Investigation 3.2 and will record their drawings in their Science Notebooks. NO HOMEWORK.
FRIDAY--Students will answer the questions for "Reflecting on What You've Done" in lab groups. Later the class will discuss their answers. NO HOMEWORK.
Students have now finished up their SBA testing in Language Arts, and as of Tuesday will begin their testing in Math. This will take approximately two weeks. We greatly appreciate your support on this--early to bed on nights before testing, followed by a good breakfast. This really does make a difference. My contribution is trying to cut down on homework on days before testing. Thank you again!
No "Late Start" this week, just a normal schedule. Remember that next Monday is Memorial Day, so there is no school on Monday, May 28th. Enjoy the three day weekend!
As always, 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

7th Grade Science Plans for May 14th through 18th, 2018
Greetings!
Hope you had a "Happy Mother's Day" (I know I did) and are enjoying this lovely, hot weather. Now here is what we are doing this week:
MONDAY--Students worked on a "Phases of the Moon" packet. Although they should have been able to get this completed in class today, if they did not, it is HOMEWORK DUE TUESDAY.
TUESDAY--Students will work on the introduction to Chapter 3. This will be in the form of questions answered in their Science Notebooks. These will be DUE AT THE END OF THE PERIOD, so NO HOMEWORK.
WEDNESDAY--LATE START DAY--Students will begin working on Investigation 3.1 which is a graphing project in class, so NO HOMEWORK.
THURSDAY & FRIDAY--Students will continue working on the graphing project (Investigation #3.1). NO HOMEWORK.
I'm sure you have already made arrangements for this week's LATE START DAY. Also, remember that we have a BAND CONCERT Wednesday night, and that Friday is the LAST PTA DANCE of the year.
A special "thank you" to those of you who hauled your student to Saturday School. Those "F" grades are disappearing thanks to your efforts. I will be emailing and calling later this week for students who are still failing. Thank you for your support on this very important matter; it's paying off.
Thank you for getting our students well rested and fed for this week's SBA (State) TESTING. They are now on the second Language Arts test, where they have an essay to write. It will be just as intense, but they are really giving it their all. We should all be very proud of their efforts.
Please call (360-264-3644) or email (humblem@tenino.k12.wa.us) me if you have any questions, comments, and/or concerns. I appreciate your communications.

Sixth Grade Science Plans for May 7th through 11th, 2018
Greetings!
Oops! Almost let SBA LA testing and a home track meet sneak up on me--but I didn't forget! Here is what we are doing this week:
MONDAY--Students work on the "Heating the Atmosphere" worksheet. It is HOMEWORK DUE TUESDAY.
TUESDAY--Students will participate in a "Heating and Cooling Rates of Soil and Water" lab. There is NO HOMEWORK.
WEDNESDAY--Students will graph the data from yesterday's lab. They will be given plenty of time to work on this in class so it shouldn't be homework, but it is DUE THURSDAY.
THURSDAY--Students will read an article silently, then take notes on it. Again, they will be given ample time in class to work on this, but this assignment is DUE FRIDAY.
FRIDAY--Students will use their Chromebooks to review weather and climate. NO HOMEWORK.
We are trying a different format for State Testing this year. Instead of having several "test days" where students take their tests for about three hours, they are testing in the class they have for that specific subject. Examples: Language Arts testing in their LA class, Math testing in their Math class. This means more days of testing, but in much shorter blocks of time. It will be interesting to see how our students respond to this. Please be sure your student: doesn't miss school on testing days, gets plenty of sleep the night before, and has a substantial breakfast the morning of test days. I try not to give homework the day before testing, too. Those little things can really amount to a lot. Thank you for your support on this matter.
Please look at your student's Science grade carefully. If it is an"F", please send your student to Saturday School (here at TMS, in the library, from 8:00 a.m. to noon). We have a session THIS weekend (May 12th) and next weekend (May 19th). My goal for this semester is for no student to have an "F" on his/her report card in June. For almost all students who are failing Science right now, it is due to missing assignments. I plan on sending out emails and/or calling on Wednesday to make plans for Saturday School for students who need it. Please help with your support on this; thank you.
As always, please call (360-264-3644) or email (humblem@tenino.k12.wa.us) if you have any questions, comments, and/or concerns.
