Greetings!
Well, the big test week is here! Gives us a chance to show what we know. Please be sure your student is well rested and fed for the big assessments. Tuesday, May 14th, we will assess English/Language Arts on the CAT format, then on Thursday, May 16th, students will take the SBA in English/Language Arts in the PT format. Both days we will be testing from first through fourth periods (approximately 8:30 a.m. to noon). Because I do not want to add any additional stress to your student, there will be NO HOMEWORK this week. Also, feel free to send bottled water and snacks with your students on these test days--we will be taking little breaks to maintain focus.
Now here's what we will be doing this week:
MONDAY--Students who did not complete the "Parts of the Cell Test" last week will be given an opportunity to finish this while the rest of us review what we learned last week, so NO HOMEWORK.
TUESDAY--3rd & 4th period classes will not meet due to the SBA Testing, so again, NO HOMEWORK.
TUESDAY--5th, 6th, & 7th period classes will begin working on their "Cell City" project. NO HOMEWORK.
WEDNESDAY--Students will work on their "Cell City" projects. NO HOMEWORK.
THURSDAY--3rd & 4th period classes will continue to work on their "Cell City" projects. NO HOMEWORK.
THURSDAY--5th, 6th, & 7th period classes will not meet due to the SBA Testing schedule, so NO HOMEWORK.
FRIDAY--Students will begin to work on teams for their "Plant" or "Animal Cell Model". NO HOMEWORK.

Have a wonderful week,

6th Grade Science Plans for May 6-10, 2019
Greetings!
Hope you are enjoying this lovely weather and are looking forward to Mother's Day this weekend. Now here is what we will be doing this week:
MONDAY & TUESDAY--Students will work on the "Simply Cells" video worksheet. This is HOMEWORK DUE WEDNESDAY.
WEDNESDAY--Students will REVIEW FOR WEDNESDAY'S TEST. The test will cover a diagram to identify the different parts and a written test (Matching, True/False, Multiple Choice) on the functions of the different parts of the cell as well as the three parts of the Cell Theory and Kinds of Cells. Students should STUDY FOR THE TEST.
THURSDAY--Parts of a Cell TEST. This will be DUE AT THE END OF THE PERIOD, so there will be NO HOMEWORK.
FRIDAY--Students will go over the test and review the parts of the cell, so NO HOMEWORK.
As you can see, we have been covering the parts of a cell and their functions quite heavily--students have had four assignments on them so far. Many of these assignments HAVE NOT BEEN TURNED IN. Please look carefully at your student's missing assignments. Missing assignments impact a student's grade far worse than an "F" grade (at least they get "some" points for an "F"). If your student has ANY missing assignments, please hold him/her responsible for completing them and turning that work in. Your student does not need to stay after school with me to complete any of the assignments that have the word "Cell" in them, and the same holds true for the "Microscope Word Search". But these really do need to be completed, especially BEFORE we take the test on Thursday.
Next week we will begin our State Testing. These will be the ELA (English/Language Arts) assessments. They will be held from 8:30 a.m. to noon on Tuesday, May 14th and Thursday, May 16th. Please make sure your student is well rested and has had breakfast so he/she is ready go and show his/her best on those tests. The Math assessments will take place the following week on Tuesday, May 21st, and Thursday, May 23rd. Thank you for your support!
As always, 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
