6th grade Science Monday - I will introduce the Star Trek story/theme so that we can start learning about Volcanoes in preparation for our visit to Mt Saint Helens when we go to Camp Cispus! HW - Scroll down to the first week of this school year to see all the things students needed to do. I've been checking in with students to make sure they get it all done. Tuesday - Today students will continue working on their Science 3D GameLab assignments (quests). The goal is to finish all the prep quests so they can unlock and begin working on all the volcano quests! Wednesday - Today students worked on a volcano chapter out of our Earth Science textbooks because we were having some issues with the wi-fi. Thursday - Today we continued learning about volcanoes by taking notes from our textbooks. Students are learning to take notes by summarizing, paraphrasing, defining vocabulary, and adding drawings and sketches. Friday - Same as yesterday. Our wi-fi is still down so we continued taking notes and sketching parts of a volcano.

6th grade Exploratory Technology Lit Monday - Group B - Students will continue to work on their 3D GameLab preparatory quests. Once students unlock the World of Warcraft research quests they will be close to getting to start playing the game! HW - This is for All Groups, A, B, and C: If you haven't turned in your Cispus paperwork we cannot take you. We've already turned in our student counts to Camp Cispus so if you are going we need to know and we need your paperwork now. Let's us know before it's really too late! :) Tuesday - Group A - Students will continue to work on their 3D GameLab preparatory quests. Once students unlock the World of Warcraft research quests they will be close to getting to start playing the game! Wednesday - Group C - Students will continue to work on their 3D GameLab preparatory quests. Once students unlock the World of Warcraft research quests they will be close to getting to start playing the game! Thursday - Group B - Today we are going to work a Peace4Kids activity to acquaint kids with the Peace4Kids traits. Teams will make a traits collage!

6th grade Science Monday - Students will be working on the observations and inferences activity we started Friday.  HW - See last week below to get all the signed Science paperwork turned in. Tuesday - Today we will finish the observations and inferences activity. Then I will show students how to login to and setup their Google Apps for Education (GAFE) accounts. Then students will begin to use 3D GameLab in Science to begin their Science coursework! Students will begin using the class iPads, Netbooks, Laptops and iMacs to start their Science learning adventure! Students will login to their 3D GameLab accounts to see how it will work. Students will use 3D GameLab to complete class assignments in Science. The 3D GameLab Science assignments, known as quests, can be done at each student's own pace so some can work quickly while others can go slower as needed. I can provide students individualized help and feedback as students work independently!  Students can even use 3D GameLab at home if they fall behind in class! It's a great service. Wednesday - Today students are going to use their GAFE accounts for an activity once I get everyone logged into their accounts. Thursday - Today we will continue yesterday's activity.  [I spent quite a bit of time today going over who needs to complete my homework assignments and who still has to turn in Cispus paperwork.] HW - Sent home a Cispus Checklist to make sure families have ideas and know what's coming up for Cispus prep. Also sent a copy on Remind. Friday - Today students are going to use 3D GameLab to work on their preparation Science Class assignments (which we will be calling quests). Students will do a few quests including signing up for the Shivtr online discussion forum as well as completing a lab safety activity and a notebook setup activity.

6th grade Exploratory Technology Lit Monday - Today I will have group A. Students are going to learn how to sign in to their 3D GameLab accounts. They will use 3D GameLab to start their Exploratory Technology Literacy course work! HW - See last week below if you haven't turned in your class syllabus to Mr. G (ALL THREE CLASSES) and your Cispus Paperwork (and this sheet too) to your Cispus Group Leader (Group A to Ms. Langston, Group B to Mr. G, and Group C to Mr. Meacham) by tomorrow please. Tuesday - Today I will have group C. Students are going to learn how to sign in to their 3D GameLab accounts. They will use 3D GameLab to start their Exploratory Technology Literacy course work! HW - Cispus Paperwork (and this sheet too) due today, please! Wednesday - Group B - Students will continue using 3D GameLab to do their preparatory assignments investigating the Journey of a Hero and researching the different World of Warcraft Hero types! Thursday - Group A - Students will continue using 3D GameLab to do their preparatory assignments investigating the Journey of a Hero and researching the different World of Warcraft Hero types! Friday - Group C - Students will continue using 3D GameLab to do their preparatory assignments investigating the Journey of a Hero and researching the different World of Warcraft Hero types!

6th grade Science Monday - No school - Labor Day! HW - Have a great three day weekend! Get a good night's rest so you can come to school on time and ready! :) Tuesday - Class Intro!  Then teams will take the Marshmallow Challenge! HW - Parents and students please read through, sign and bring back the following paperwork: Read the class syllabus to fill out the parent online survey and visit my website's Parent Page. On the back of the class syllabus is the information to sign up for Science Remind updates. Students AND parents sign up for the Classdojo behavior information. Sign the Internet Agreement. Wednesday - Students will take a personality survey to re-arrange and balance their teams. What can we do to have a safe and happy classroom? Students will answer that question to come up with Class Promises they can make and Mr. G can make to have a happy and safe classroom all year! Thursday - Today we are going to finish working on the activity we started yesterday to make our Class Promises to have a happy, safe and fun year together! Friday - We nee to do some more wrap up work on our Class Promises activity to come up with three student promises and three teacher promises to make this class safe, happy and fun.  Then students are going to do an activity to learn about observations and inferences. HW - Parents sign up for Mr. G's Remind and Classdojo. And don't forget to fill out the short, six question survey. Students turn in your Classdojo sign in slip and the Internet Agreement if you haven't already.

6th grade Exploratory Technology Lit Monday - No school - Labor Day! HW - Have a great three day weekend! Tuesday - Class Intro for my 1st group, Exploratory Technology Lit B. HW - Get started on getting all the Cispus Paperwork (and this sheet too) filled out and signed. Bring it back to Mr. G as soon as possible but no later than Sept 15.  Also get the class syllabus signed by a parent and turn that in tomorrow. Wednesday - Class Intro for my 1st group, Exploratory Technology Lit A. Thursday - Class Intro for my 1st group, Exploratory Technology Lit C. Friday - Today I will have group B again. Students are going to learn how to sign into their 3D GameLab accounts. They will use 3D GameLab to start their Exploratory Technology Literacy coursework! HW - All three classes need to turn in their class syllabus signed if they haven't already to Mr. G.  And keep working on your Cispus Paperwork (and this sheet too) to get that to Mr. G as soon as you can.  It'll probably be easier if Group B turns in their Cispus paperwork to Mr. G, Group A turns in their Cispus paperwork to Ms. Langston, and Group C turns in their paperwork to Mr. Meacham.
