Monday - Now that students have completed the Lesson 4 Lab here are the follow-up quests they need to do before working on any other quests:

  1. Battery Charging Time
  2. Lesson 4, Question 2
  3. The RiverXchange Part 2 

HW - None, unless you are behind. Those who have not made up their volcano test need to do that for homework so they don't fall behind on the current unit.

Thank you to everyone who forwarded our Indiegogo Tech Campaign. So far, with the WA State Trooper's Association, we've raised almost $1200! The WeAct Club worked hard at this past weekend's awesome Craft Fair and they raised more money to buy more Chromebooks. Also the Friend's Of Chimacum Schools Foundation will be donating some money to our tech campaign this week! I'll keep you all updated because even though the Indiegogo Campaign ended there are still people working to get more technology for our school!

Tuesday to Friday - This week we will work on starting the lesson 5 lab. Lesson 5 is broken up into two parts, elastic force and gravitational force. This week we will work on the elastic force lab and we'll work on gravity when we get back from Winter Break!

This week  period 3 will do the fish trapping activity. Students will set traps on one day then retrieve the traps the next day to identify and count any fish we catch. We will return the fish to the creek and record the counts to send to the Jefferson Conservation District.


Happy Holidays everyone! Have a great Winter Break and see you in 2016 6th graders! :)

Monday - Group B - Today we are working in the Science room, 410, instead of going to the computer lab.

Students are still completing their WoW in Schools 3D GameLab quests to unlock the ability to play World of Warcraft! Those who already started playing the game will be doing the World of Warcraft 3D GameLab quests you get after playing the game. 

HW - None, unless you want to get ahead and start playing WoW sooner!

Tuesday - Group A - Same as Monday.

Wednesday - Group C - Today we will be working in the computer lab. Students who have already unlocked the ability to play the game will be playing the game! Students will use the game story and their character in the game to analyze the journey of a hero! 

The rest will still be working on the quests they need to start playing. 

Thursday - Group B - Same as Wednesday.

Friday - Group A - Today the HS Band and Choir will be performing for the middle school during this time slot in the auditorium so we will be there instead of working on WoW in Schools.
