Greetings!
I know I just emailed progress reports yesterday, but Mr. Palmer shared this video with our sixth grade students. (And, yes, I know I am sending this to my seventh grade parents, too. They will certainly benefit from watching this!) Even though your student may have already seen this, please sit down and WATCH IT TOGETHER. It's only about five minutes long (sorry about the last being a "commercial" for this company). It does an excellent job explaining what missing assignments do to a student's grade. It would be helpful if you discussed it after watching it, too.

6th Grade Science Plans for September 24-28, 2018
Greetings!
Hope you had a terrific weekend and are now ready for another great week at TMS. Here is what we will be doing this week:
MONDAY--Students will be filling out a pre assessment called "Doing Science". It will be DUE AT THE END OF THE PERIOD, so NO HOMEWORK.
TUESDAY--Students will work on two activities: "Observations" and "Stereotypes". This will be DUE AT THE END OF THE PERIOD, so again, NO HOMEWORK.
WEDNESDAY--Students will watch a video about Cispus, so NO HOMEWORK.
THURSDAY--Students will receive direct instruction on different lab techniques, so NO HOMEWORK.
FRIDAY--Students will begin the "Measurement Lab". NO HOMEWORK.
Wednesday we are kicking off a new program called "Rachel's Challenge". There will be a community event TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 25th at 6:30 p.m. in the TMS gym. Hope you will be able to attend--it should be very informative.
As we draw closer to Outdoor School/Cispus (Tuesday, October 16th through Friday, October 19th) we find ourselves looking for a large trailer to haul up all of the gear. If you know of anyone who would be willing to loan us one, or if you own one yourself and would let us borrow it for that week, please contact us as soon a possible. It's just another one of those items we would be able to cross off our "To Do" list. Thanks.
Several parents/guardians have asked about extra credit. If you could please look at Slide #15 I sent in the "Sixth Grade Science" slide show, it will give you some ideas. I'm kind of swamped right now, so it would be very helpful and would save both of us some time if you could take a peek at it. Thank you.
If you have any questions, comments, and/or concerns, please contact me. The telephone number in my classroom is (360) 264-3644 and the best email address to reach me is humblem@tenino.k12.wa.us
Have a wonderful week,
Michele Humble

6th Grade Science Plans for September 17th through 21st, 2018
Greetings!
Here we go with our second complete week of school! Time is flying. Here is what we will be doing this week:
MONDAY--Students will elect their class treasurer and work on their "CHAMPS" poster. This is DUE TUESDAY.
TUESDAY--Students will work on an "Observation Activity" and "Stereotyping Activity" which will be DUE AT THE END OF THE PERIOD, so NO HOMEWORK.
WEDNESDAY--LATE START DAY--Students use their Chromebooks to check their grades and will sign up for their online Science textbook, so NO HOMEWORK.
THURSDAY--Students will work an assignment called "Doing Science" which will be DUE AT THE END OF THE PERIOD. NO HOMEWORK.
FRIDAY--Students will take notes on a video. These will be DUE AT THE END OF THE PERIOD, so there will be NO HOMEWORK over the weekend.
Hopefully you have made arrangements for Wednesday morning's "Late Start". Instead of students coming in to the building at 8:00 a.m., they will be arriving at 10:00 a.m.--two hours later than usual.
If you see that your student is missing the ""Syllabus/Lab Safety Contract", and you know you signed it, that could be because only one side was signed. Several of them came in that way. Because they are two separate documents, each one needs to be signed. (I was trying to save paper.) If your student's came in with only one side signed, I will be returning it to him/her fro the missing signature. Hopefully those will arrive on Tuesday with both sides completed. Thank you for your support on this.
