7th Grade Science Plans for January 28th through February 1st, 2019

Greetings!

I'm actually on time for a change--Hooray!  Now here's what we will be doing this week:

MONDAY--Students will be completing Investigation 2.2, so NO HOMEWORK.

TUESDAY--Students will be participating in Investigation 2.1 in class, so again NO  HOMEWORK.

WEDNESDAY--LATE START--Students will be recording their assignments on their "Assignment Logs" and filing them, so NO HOMEWORK.

THURSDAY--Students will begin Investigation 2.3.  NO HOMEWORK.

FRIDAY--Students will watch a video on Chemical Reactions and will participate in our Second Quarter Auction, so NO HOMEWORK.

Just a reminder that Wednesday is a "Late Start Day".  You are probably already aware of this and have made appropriate arrangements, but just in case.................

I'm also sure you are aware that this is the last week of the First Semester--as of Friday, February 1st.  Schedules will be changing A LOT for some students.  Please jump onto Skyward and look at your student's schedule for the Second Semester.  If there are any problems (like one of my students was signed up for FOUR Math classes, and another had NO Science class at all), please contact the Office immediately so changes can be made BEFORE February 4th--the first day of the Second Semester.

Going along with the "End of the Semester" theme, THE LAST DAY FOR EXTRA CREDIT, MISSING ASSIGNMENTS AND/OR LATE WORK IS WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 30TH.  Please check your student's grade to make arrangements to get caught up.

As always, please contact me with any questions, comments, and/or concerns you may have.  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,
