6th grade Science Monday and Tuesday - By now students should be finishing up their Water Pollution Research and starting to write their Public Service Announcement. We will choose the best ones to feature on our 6th grade World Solutions Blog! HW - None if you are all caught up. Email Mr. G if you are not sure. Wednesday - Today we are going to complete an activity called Food Miles. Students are going to learn the consequences of buying food that is not local to our state. (Ask them.) Thursday and Friday - The goal is for students to complete their Public Service Announcements (PSA). A complete PSA means that the student has a blog published with a meme along with their information and recommendations on water pollution. PSA's can focus on one of the following four different water pollution topics: River pollution with a focus on Chimacum Creek. Lake pollution with a focus on Anderson Lake's Harmful Algal Bloom (HAB) problem. Ocean pollution with a focus on the Great Pacific Ocean Garbage Patch. Drinking water issues around the world. Have a great Spring Break everyone!

6th grade Exploratory Technology Lit Monday - Group C - This week we are wrapping up the Alliance side of the World of Warcraft story. Those who get their protagonist characters to level 15 first will try their hands at a team dungeon quest with Mr. G! We will be in the computer lab all week! HW - None if you are playing World of Warcraft in class. Remember that you can only use the class game accounts at home. Tuesday - Group B Wednesday - Group A Thursday - Group C Friday - Group B

By now everyone should be done with their Energy and Forces exam but some students might still be working on it. HW - Finish your exam if you need more time. Wednesday - Today students are going to complete an activity where they will do some research to learn how to be critical of what we find on the Internet! This is a very important lesson in this age where it's so easy to find anything on the Internet - we really need to learn how to determine quality information from junk. When we finish the activity students will continue to work on their Water Pollution Research. Thursday and Friday - By now students should be finishing up their Water Pollution Research and starting to write their Public Service Announcement. We will choose the best ones to feature them our 6th grade World Solutions Blog!

6th grade Science Monday - Today I will introduce the Water Pollution activity students will be working on this week. We are beginning an entire new unit on Environmental Education focusing on stewardship of our own creek! It's an awesome project. First, students need to complete their test from last week. I gave everyone feedback on what they need to fix. Only one (two in 1st period) student in each class got all 3's and are done with their test. Everyone else will fix what they got wrong on their test so they can meet standard. Then I can update the scores on Skyward! HW - Study for your test if you can't remember something or if you didn't take notes on it from the labs we completed in class. Tuesday - Students who are done fixing their energy and forces test can begin to work on their Water Pollution activity! Wednesday - I will have a sub today so that I can attend a Science Leadership Meeting in Bremerton.  Students will be working on their Water Pollution activity as well as other 3D GameLab quests. Thursday and Friday - Students will continue to work on their Water Pollution activity and other 3D GameLab quests as we continue our study Environmental Science! There will be NO fish trapping activity this week.

6th grade Exploratory Technology Lit Monday - Group A - The plan is to go the computer lab every day this week to play World of Warcraft! There are still a few kids in each class who need to catch up and start playing! HW - If you are one of the few kids not yet playing World of Warcraft try to find a computer at home so that you can complete the preliminary assignments and take your keyboarding test so that you can start playing in class! Tuesday - Group C Wednesday - Group B  Thursday - Group A Friday - Group C

6th grade Science Monday - Parents, click here to see if your child has completed his or her Lesson 7 Conclusion assignment.  I have begun assessing students on the physics standards so we have little if any class time for them to finish their conclusions if they haven't already. If they could work on their conclusions at home then we won't fall any farther behind on our schedule to start our Environmental Unit of study. Today students will take the vocabulary Kahoot quiz again. Then they'll have a little bit of time to work on their 3D GameLab quests, which includes the Lesson 7 lab conclusion! HW - Finish your lesson 7 lab conclusion blog if it's not done yet. Tuesday - We will be on Early Release Schedule today. Today students will take the next assessment. I'll be using Peardeck to test their knowledge. HW - Tonight, from 5pm to 7pm, in the middle school gym, is our Back to School, or Eagle, Night! Come to see what your child is doing in school! I'll have a couple of pegboards up so kids can show you what they've been learning. I'm also taking out some of our water quality testing equipment so you can see that too! See you there. :) Wednesday - We will be on Early Release Schedule today. Today students finished the Peardeck review/test practice. Thursday - School Cancelled due to windstorm! Friday - Students will be working on the last part of their physics assessment. Once students complete their assessment, they will be working on their 3D GameLab work. Monday we will be switching to our new unit! There will be NO fish trapping activity this week.

6th grade Exploratory Technology Lit Monday - Group B - Almost everyone has begun to play World of Warcraft and immerse themselves in the story. We still have a few kids in each class who are not yet playing the game. The plan is to go the computer lab every day this week to play World of Warcraft! HW - If you are one of the few kids not yet playing World of Warcraft try to find a computer at home so that you can complete the preliminary assignments and take your keyboarding test so that you can start playing in class! Tuesday - Group A Wednesday - Group C  Thursday - No Group today due to school cancellation from wind storm! Friday - Group B
