Did you think I had fallen off of the face of the Earth? Nope! (You're not rid of me that easily.) I was up at Cispus--and the weather was beautiful! Sorry Seventh Graders. But now I'm back and here is what we will be doing for the rest of this week:
MONDAY--We will go over what students did in class last week and I will give back the assignments we did. I will show a brief earthquake video and students will make a sketch & description of an earthquake resistant building in their Science Notebook, so NO HOMEWORK.
TUESDAY & WEDNESDAY--Students will work in groups to plan their earthquake resistant buildings. This will require measuring, discussion, compromise, and engineering. NO HOMEWORK.
THURSDAY--Students will build a prototype of their earthquake resistant building and will test it. They will then make revisions to their plan and construct the final model for testing. NO HOMEWORK.
FRIDAY--Students will take a written assessment on their earthquake resistant building project. This will serve as a TEST. NO HOMEWORK.
No Late Start this week or anything else I can think of at this time. As always, if you have any questions, comments, and/or concerns, please feel free to contact me. The telephone 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
