6th-grade Science Monday - This week students need to finish graphing and analyzing their water quality data.  Students are also learning what their parameters mean so they can analyze their data.  By now teams should be finishing their individual projects; in each team, there is a student learning about Ocean Acidification, one learning about the Water Cycle, one learning about Invasive Species, and one learning about Salmon. They each have different activities to complete such as making news videos, commercial ads, stop motion animations, comic books or comic strips stories, digital stories, or Google Slides presentations. Students choose what they want to create. HW - None if you are all caught up! Tuesday - Today I am going to prepare students for tomorrow's NOSC guests.

Students will identify the macros they find and together we will rate the overall biological integrity of our creek! Thursday - Same as Monday. Friday - Today we are on our Early Release Schedule. Students are still working on the activities mentioned on Monday.  Next week students will start making the posters they will use to present at the June 6 Youth Summit!

6th-grade Science Monday - Today Mrs. Clifford, our school counselor, had students complete a survey to rank exploratory classes for next year. As Mrs. Clifford works on the schedule for next year she will try to get students into classes they prefer for 5th and 6th period Exploratories! Ask your child what they chose for next year. In Science, we are done going down to the creek for Water Quality testing (click here to see pictures)! Now it's time to graph the data and analyze it to see what's going on in our creek. Students will work in their teams to learn what their parameters mean so they can see what the data is telling us. In addition to graphing and analyzing data, in each team, there is a student learning about Ocean Acidification, one learning about the Water Cycle, one learning about Invasive Species, and one learning about Salmon. They each have different activities to complete. HW - None if you are all caught up. Tuesday through Friday - Students will continue to work on their individual projects as well as working with their teammates to graph and analyze their water quality data.

6th-grade Exploratory Technology Literacy Monday - Group B - We will be meeting in the computer lab so that students can continue playing World of Warcraft! Students can choose to continue playing their Alliance characters to get them to level 20, get mounts, and do dungeon runs with Mr. G OR students can start playing a Horde character if they completed the Villain quests on 3D GameLab!
