Quarter 4, Week 10, 6/15 to 6/19

6th-grade Science:

Week of June 15 to June 19, 2020 - 

This week's Science Zoom Meeting will be happening TODAY at 12 noon along with Ms. Berg and Mr. Brennan so that families can drive through the Primary School and the Elementary School Thursday, June 18, starting at 1:30 pm at the Primary School and starting at 2 pm at the Elementary School for our goodbye waves.

I hope everyone is doing well and that all your families are healthy. I will continue to check Classcraft and Google Classroom for any student who wishes to continue doing any Science activities over the summer. Kids can message me on Classcraft if they want me to re-open a Kahoot, Gimkit, Quizizz, or Legends of Learning game.

All families will be getting an envelope mailed to them by the end of this week with your child's progress report and hopefully a surprise 😄. So the envelope should be getting to you by next week. A report card is included but since we could not provide second-semester grades, the only feedback your child has will be on the progress report. Honestly, all that matters is what your child learns so the score is not important, which is why the 6th-grade teachers plan to continue providing feedback and staying connected to our 6th-grade students during the summer.

With that, I wish you all a great summer. I am grateful that I got to work with you and your children this year.

Quarter 4, Week 9, 6/8 to 6/12

6th-grade Science:

Week of June 8 to June 12, 2020 - 

This week's Science Zoom Meeting will be at 12:30 pm again on Thursday, June 11. This week I will finish teaching the Water Quality topic that many students have started to help them get it done. This week I'll be going over pH, turbidity, and flow rate in Chimacum Creek.

Last week's screening of the movie Microplastic Madness was great! The week before, I covered dissolved oxygen and temperature, and here's the recording in case your child missed it (watching the video below and attending this week's Science Zoom will help kids get their Water Quality assignment done a LOT more easily then if they just do it on their own): 

And I do hope those of you that checked out a school-issued laptop will keep it over the summer because Ms. Berg, Mr. Brennan, and I will continue to check in on students and check their work and provide feedback if they keep working!
