6th grade Science Monday - Students will be working on their 3D GameLab quests so that those who are not done with previous work can catch up! HW - None if you are all caught up. Tuesday - Same as yesterday but with a substitute teacher. I will be attending a STEM Summit in Redmond. Wednesday - Today I am going to share with students a blogging activity that 6th graders started last year. Students this year will continue adding to that blog this year as well. Otherwise, students can continue to work on their 3D GameLab quests. Thursday and Friday - Students will be working on a vocabulary activity. I created a Google Slide deck with all the vocabulary words students will be exposed to during our physical science Energy and Forces unit. Every student will get one or two slides each with one vocabulary word. Their job is to define their word and include pictures to teach the class their word. Next week students will present their slides to the class! This week period 1, Group B, will set the fish traps one day, then return the next day to ID and count any fish we catch in the traps. We always return the fish to the creek.

6th grade Exploratory Technology Lit Monday - Group B - Students are still working on their WoW in School quests including the journey quest, the heroism quest, and researching the World of Warcraft race and class of their choosing.  Once students are done with those quests they will take a keyboarding test. Once at least 40% of the class has taken their keyboarding test we will go to the computer lab to play World of Warcraft! HW - None unless you want to get ahead. Tuesday - Group C - Same as Monday, meeting in the computer lab so that those who have completed all their work can continue playing World of Warcraft! (Three started playing last week!) Wednesday - Group A - Same as Monday. This class will be meeting in the computer lab today for the first time. Those who have completed all their work will try to find a computer that can play the game. This year we are having computer problems. They are working on fixing the problem but until then there many computers that have run out of hard drive space and therefore cannot run the game! Friday (double period) -  12:28 to 1:03pm - Group B 1:06 to 1:41pm - Group C 1:45 to 2:20pm - Group A Same as above only for less time.

6th grade Science Monday & Tuesday - This week student teams will finish their bottle flipping labs. Students used Inquiry Boards to design their experiments. Student teams collected data and will write Claim, Evidence, Reasoning (CER) conclusions about their findings! Once students are done with their bottle flipping CER conclusions, they can work on any Available or In Progress 3D GameLab quests! HW - None if you are all caught up! If you came to the parent conferences you know what work you need to do if any. Wednesday - Today we will be on a Late Start/Early Release schedule, from 8:45am to 12:15pm.

Tuesday - Group C - This group has just about enough students who are ready to play World of Warcraft that we will be meeting in the computer lab today! Those students who have not unlocked the ability to play the game will continue working on their 3D GameLab quests until they complete all the ones they need to finish to be able to start playing World of Warcraft! Wednesday - Group A - Today we will be on a Late Start/Early Release schedule, from 8:45am to 12:15pm. Same as Monday for this group!
