6th grade Science Monday - Today I checked up on students to see who was on task and not only learned a lot about water pollution but also took notes last week while I was gone! Those who are done with their notes will begin to design their Public Service Announcement! 2nd period is responsible for the fish traps this week! HW - For those who didn't do much if any work last week, you need to catch up on your water pollution notes at home. And I still have 13 kids in all three classes who have NOT turned in their Permission Slip for Wednesday's field trip. Tuesday - Today students will continue working on their water pollution notes, if they didn't finish last week, and their Public Service Announcements, if they finished their notes. Tonight for our Eagle Night back to school evening from 5 to 7pm in the middle school gym I will have a couple of tables where kids can show off what they do in Science. I will have a computer, some iPads, and a couple of pegboard assemblies for kids to show what we've been doing! HW - See Monday! And dress warmly and for rain in case it rains tomorrow. Wednesday - Today we will be planting trees at the Chimacum Commons! Each class will go during their class period for Science and return in time to get to their next class. Thursday and Friday - Students will continue to work on their water pollution public service announcements! The plan is to be done by today but for those who need more time they can work on it over spring break. They can also finish it when we get back from spring break. Since most students haven't even finished their research and notetaking, they can finish that over spring break so they can begin the public service announcements when we get back. HW - Have a great Spring Break!

6th grade Exploratory WoW in Schools (This is my 2nd period class come back for 4th period.) Monday and Tuesday - We will be working on my Science classroom, room 410, to complete more WoWinSchools quests, take the FINAL typing test to see how much improvement was made, AND to take the end of course survey! This is it!  HW - None, unless you want to finish any last WoWinSchools quests or improve your typing test score. Wednesday to Friday - We will continue to play the Horde Side (the enemy!) to learn their side of the story of World of Warcraft!

TBA = To Be Arranged.

6th grade Science Monday - Today students will continue the research phase of the water pollution webquest we started last week. Since we just started working on this everyone is at the beginning so no one is behind. That means fresh start for those who feel behind on their energy and forces work. This week's HW - If you didn't get your March 25 Tree Planting Permission Slip Signed last week please do so this week on turn it in by tomorrow if you didn't turn it in today. If you are working on the Student Blogging Challenge make sure you do Week 3 (Week's 1 and 2 should already be done). Also work on any missing energy and forces assignments. Tuesday - Today students will continue to research water pollution. Once they are done with the research (answering the webquest questions) they can begin writing their Public Service Announcement (PSA). Wednesday through Friday - I will be gone the rest of this week to Portland, OR to attend the NCCE 2015 computing in education conference with our district's tech committee. Students need to finish writing and proofreading their water pollution public service announcements (PSA's) this week. Then they can work on the other environmental assignments.

6th grade Exploratory WoW in Schools (This is my 2nd period class come back for 4th period.) Monday - Today students will by playing World of Warcraft instead of working on their typing and the other WoWinSchools assignments because the computer lab will be busy Monday and Tuesday next week. So Monday and Tuesday next week we will be working on typing and other assignments in my classroom. This week's HW - None Tuesday through Friday - The rest of the week students will be playing World of Warcraft. Some students are getting close to level 20! Once they reach level 20 they can work on their professions.
