6th-grade Science Monday - Today students will begin learning how the EV3 brick works and what kind of data the sensors send to the brick (the Port View assignment). HW - If you are one of the students going on the field trip tomorrow, bring a lunch and be at school by 6:45am. Tuesday - Today the students who were selected will be going to the Galaxy Theaters to hear Astronaut Mark Vande Hei talk to us from the International Space Station - LIVE! Students who are at school will work on their 3D GameLab quests with my substitute teacher. Wednesday to Friday - Students will be working with the EV3 brick and the sensors. Once students complete the Port View activity they will begin to design the sensor experiment.  This week period 3 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.

8th-grade Science Monday - Today we will complete the Punnett Squares Pear Deck activity then students will take a Punnett Squares quiz. HW - If you are one of the students going on the field trip tomorrow, bring a lunch and be at school by 6:45am. Tuesday - Today the students who were selected will be going to the Galaxy Theaters to hear Astronaut Mark Vande Hei talk to us from the International Space Station - LIVE! Students who are at school will work on their 3D GameLab quests with my substitute teacher. Wednesday - Once we are done with the Punnett Squares quiz, students will learn about Mitosis. If we have time we will learn about Meiosis!  Thursday and Friday - Laura Tucker returns to continue the Human Growth and Development course.

6th-grade Keyboarding Monday to Friday - Our daily routine is as follows: Check Classcraft. Practice Keyboarding with All The Right Type. Play World of Warcraft to level up your character! OR Work on the WoW in Schools curriculum using 3D GameLab. HW - No homework is assigned unless a student falls behind. If your child falls behind, he or she can catch up on their Keyboarding and on their 3D GameLab assignments using any device that has an Internet connection. To practice keyboarding, a device with a full keyboard is best. Kids can also do their keyboarding practice and 3D GameLab assignments from home if they want to get ahead.

Have a great Winter Break and Holidays and have a great New Year!

6th-grade Science Monday to Friday - This week we will finish learning about circuits and switches. Then students will practice the robotics vocabulary they have learned so far. By the end of the week we should be practicing with the EV3 sensors to learn how they work and what types of data they collect. And since this is the official Hour of Code week, students will get one class period to participate for Chimacum Middle School!  HW - None unless you fall behind and need to catch up. Those who need to fix the Faraday Golfing Machine blog post or those who need to finish it, you need to do so for homework because we will not have any more time in class for you to finish it. This week period 2 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.

8th-grade Science Monday to Wednesday - This week students will see if plant reproduction has anything in common with human reproduction. We will begin by dissecting flowers to learn how flowering plants reproduce. Then students will finish practicing how to make Punnett Squares. That will lead to learning about the difference between mitosis and meiosis. And since this is the official Hour of Code week, students will get one class period to participate for Chimacum Middle School!  HW - If you have not fixed your incorrect answers on the Weather Final Exam, you still need to do so. Thursday & Friday - Laura Tucker from the Public Health Department will be hosting the Human Growth and Development class for 8th graders start Thursday and continuing through Friday.

6th-grade Keyboarding Monday to Friday - Our daily routine is as follows: Check Classcraft. Practice Keyboarding with All The Right Type. Play World of Warcraft to level up your character! OR Work on the WoW in Schools curriculum using 3D GameLab. HW - No homework is assigned unless a student falls behind.
