6th grade Science

Monday - Today students should be wrapping up last week's activities. 

There are some students who are still figuring out how to use the 3D GameLab interface. I'm working on helping those get used to this new system.

By now students should have their notebooks ready, understand the lab safety guidelines, have applied for their class Shivtr accounts  and have their class blog accounts with their first blog assignment completed and approved. If this hasn't been done yet then that's what students should be doing today.

HW -  If you didn't get to do this last week, take your Science Class Parent Handout, your Informed Consent Agreement (signed BOTH sides), and your Cispus Packet (filled out and signed - read through it) home so your parents can take the parent survey (it's called Parent Contact Info) and have your parents join the 6th grade Classroom Facebook Group so they can stay informed about what is going on in class.

Tuesday - Students are still working on the assignments listed above. Here's the order of assignments that students need to be completing this week:

  1. Setting up the Notebook
  2. Setting up the Shivtr Class Forum to complete the three forum discussion assignments.
  3. Completing the What's a Blog and Blogging with ClassBlogmeister to start their first blogging assignment.
  4. Begin learning about volcanoes! 

HW - Nothing if you are all caught up and have all your Monday homework done.

Wednesday - Same as yesterday and Monday.

HW - Same as yesterday and Monday.

Friday - By Monday students need to get to the volcano assignments so we can start learning about volcanoes to better understand Mt Saint Helens.
