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 their "Atoms, Molecules, Elements, Etc. Slide Show". Students have a rubric for this, so they know what is expected in this assignment. It is HOMEWORK DUE WEDNESDAY.
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.
FRIDAY--Students will take a quiz on Density and CER. This 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
Have a wonderful week,
Michele Humble
