6th grade Science Monday - Welcome back! Today we will start by reviewing our Classroom Promises so that we can start the new year off in a great way, watching out for each other. Then I have a great article on a scientist that won a Nobel Prize for building a better light bulb! (Fits our curriculum perfectly.) We will discuss the article after everyone has read it. HW - None Tuesday - Today I have a slideshow to share with students about the skills they are gaining in Science this year. Then I'm going to get them ready to learn about simple machines so they can include Science in their Market Day booths on Jan 30! HW - Depends on what you need to get done that you are behind on. Check 3D GameLab and you'll know what you need to do. This quarter ends Jan 23 so you have time to show what you've learned! :) Wednesday to Friday - This week students have time to research the simple machines used in the ancient civilization they are studying in their Humanities class. Students can then develop a demonstration or something like that for their Market Day booth. HW - Same as yesterday.

6th grade Exploratory WoW in Schools (This is my 1st period class come back for 4th period.) Monday - Welcome back! Today we will spend the period in my Science room practicing typing and catching up on the World of Warcraft assignments. This group of students has three weeks left of this course because the semester ends on Jan 23! HW - None Tuesday to Friday - We will spend the rest of the week playing so that everyone can get to past level 15. Those who are already past level 15 or at level 15 will be doing the Deadmines Dungeon with me. HW - None
