Greetings!
Happy Conference Week! Next to Outdoor School (Cispus), this is my favorite week of the year; I love listening to our students lead their own presentations on their progress here at TMS. If you haven't signed up for an SLC (Student Led Conference), it's not too late. Just jump onto Skyward and you should be able to do it there.
Now here is what we will be doing this week:
MONDAY--This will be a "Study Hall style day so students can catch up on missing assignments. NO HOMEWORK.
TUESDAY--Students will work on an assignment on the Periodic Table. This is HOMEWORK DUE THURSDAY.
WEDNESDAY--CLASS WILL NOT MEET.
THURSDAY--No new work; this will be a "Catch Up Day" on missing assignments. NO HOMEWORK.
FRIDAY--CLASS WILL NOT MEET.
I am VERY concerned with the number of missing assignments. I know Spring Break is next week (April 1-5), but some of our students are going on vacation early, at least mentally. The 3rd Quarter ends on Wednesday, April 10th when we return, so that's not much time. PLEASE HAVE YOUR STUDENT COMPLETE MISSING WORK AND TURN IT IN ASAP. Missing assignments do the most damage to a student's grade--Even an "F" will get you some points.
If you have any questions, comments, and/or concerns, please 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,

6th Grade Science Plans for March 18-22, 2019
Greetings!
Well, I am keeping my word! This past weekend I graded everything that didn't move--and you will see the results on this progress report. But first, here's what we are doing this week:
MONDAY & TUESDAY--Students will work on "Microscope Lesson #3" (a rap, story, or poster). It is HOMEWORK DUE WEDNESDAY.
WEDNESDAY--LATE START DAY--Students will get back and go over previous assignments. NO HOMEWORK.
THURSDAY--Students will work on "Microscope Lesson #4". This is HOMEWORK DUE FRIDAY.
FRIDAY--Students will work on "Microscope Lesson #5". This is a lab. It will be DUE AT THE END OF THE PERIOD, so NO HOMEWORK.
As you can see up above, Wednesday is a "Late Start Day", so hopefully you are already prepared for that.
Students are competing in a "Canned Food Drive". This is being collected in your student's first period class. This can be a difficult time of year for food banks, yet the need is still there. So if you can spare some non-perishable foodstuffs for your child to contribute, it would be greatly appreciated.
Next week is "Student Led Conference Week". If you have not already gone into Skyward to register for your conference time, please do so ASAP. Monday will be a "regular" day (if there is such a thing in middle school), but then Tuesday through Friday will be early release days. Tuesday is our evening conference time, so if that's the most convenient time for you to come, I want to encourage you to confirm your conference time quickly--those evening slots fill up quickly.
You may have noticed your student's grades went down, in some cases sizeably. This is mainly due to missing assignments. I am making myself available after school Monday through Friday until 4:00 p.m. Also, I will be at school by 7:30 a.m. Tuesday and Friday (I have meetings scheduled for Wednesday and Thursday). Please help your student get caught up so his/her grades truly reflect the kind of student he/she is.
If you need to 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

WEDNESDAY--LATE START DAY--Students will get back and go over previous assignments. NO HOMEWORK.
THURSDAY--Students have a textbook assignment on the Density Chapter. This is HOMEWORK DUE FRIDAY.

6th Grade Science Plans for March 11-15, 2019
Greetings!
Sorry this is so late. It seems like I am still digging out from the month of February--Sigh! I am planning on grading everything that doesn't move over the weekend; that means three labs, the Series & Parallel Circuit worksheet, another Science Starters assignment, Microscope Lesson #1, and the Microscope test from Friday. So when you get this email on Monday, you may see a huge swing in your student's Science grade. So here is what we have done and will do this week:
MONDAY--Students got back several assignments and we went over them in class. NO HOMEWORK.
TUESDAY--Last day in class for students to work on their "Series & Parallel Circuit Lab". This worksheet is HOMEWORK DUE WEDNESDAY.
WEDNESDAY--Introduction to the Microscope Unit. Microscope Lesson #1 is HOMEWORK DUE THURSDAY.
THURSDAY--Students went over the information in Microscope Lesson #2 on the parts of a microscope and their functions. They need to STUDY FOR TOMORROW'S TEST.
FRIDAY--MICROSCOPE TEST (Worth 60 points). NO HOMEWORK.
Hopefully your student brought home "Microscope Lesson #2" and you are helping him/her study tonight. The TEST ON FRIDAY will be very easy if your child studies.
We ended the "Electricity Unit" with an online simulation on Series and Parallel Circuits. Several students did not finish this. If so, I will be contacting you to see if your child can stay after school next week and complete this assignment. If you have Internet access at home, your student should be able to complete it there. Thank you in advance for your support.
Your student has been working on his/her "Student Led Conference" slide show. Conference week is March 26-28, with Tuesday, March 26th being our evening conferences. I love this week! It's my second favorite after Outdoor School. Instead of parents/guardians and teachers running the conference, this is completely the student in charge. He/she will be explaining his/her accomplishments, goals, strengths, and weaknesses. If you have not experienced this, you are in for a real treat. You should have already received an email about this, and hopefully have already signed up online. If not, please contact our Office (360-264-3644) to do so ASAP. Those evening slots fill up quickly. Looking forward to seeing you there.
If you have any questions, comments, and/or concerns, please feel free to 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 March 11-15, 2019
Greetings!
Sorry I got so far behind, but as you can see, I did get a great deal of grading caught up this weekend! So here is what we will be doing this week:
MONDAY--Students got assignments back and we went over them in class. NO HOMEWORK.
TUESDAY--Students will use their Chromebooks to complete the "Density Phet Lab". The worksheet is DUE WEDNESDAY.
WEDNESDAY--Students will take notes on CER in class and will do a practice assignment. NO HOMEWORK.
THURSDAY--CER Practice. This is HOMEWORK DUE FRIDAY.
FRIDAY--Test on Density and CER--STUDY!!! No homework.
Today is a "typical week" (if there is such a thing in Middle School), so no "Late Start", Snow Days, etc., just five "normal" days of school.
Please sign up for your "Student Led Conference" as soon as possible (you should have received an email on this), especially if you need one of those evening (Tuesday) time slots. Looking forward to seeing you there!
As always, 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.
