Quarter 1, Week 3, 9/21 to 9/25

 

Cohort A & B

Monday & Tuesday - Cohort A2 on Mondays and Cohort A1 on Tuesdays. Cohort B works on the same assignments listed here from home.

Water quality testing will have to be done next week for both A and B Cohorts because we need the class time for students to do the work they are not doing at home during their three days of work from home. Plus, I need all the students to bring back their permission slips or I can't take anyone down to the creek.

I also heard from North Olympic Salmon Coalition that they will be clearning our fish trapping path Oct 5 so the week after that we'll start fish trapping!

So we'll try again next week.


This week, with the air quality improving and all students turning in their permission slips, 6th graders in Cohorts A and B are going to learn how to use the water quality testing equipment to go down to the creek and collect water quality data! Each cohort will go once a day, hopefully at about the same time of day, and get data that they will put all together on one spreadsheet. We will check the fish trapping section of the creek to see if we can set traps this week as well. These activities are all part of our Ocean Guardian School Environmental Stewardship Project!

All students received a message on Classcraft telling them all the assignments they still need to complete from the list below. All the assignments are due this week.

Since many students have not completed the week 1 and 2 assignments, they are still due, so students need to work on these: 
  1. The Introduction 
  2. Introduce Yourself 
  3. Personality Types 
  4. Tell Your Parents (Bloomz)

  6. Start Your Blog (This assignment is a prerequisite required before students can begin the next quest.)

Quarter 1, Weeks 1 and 2 - 9/8 to 9/18

 

Cohort A & B

Monday & Tuesday - Cohort A2 on Mondays and Cohort A1 on Tuesdays.

Here is a list of the assignments students will be working on at home when they are not at school. At school, I will show them how to get started on these assignments and I will give them time to work on them in class as well.

If you have not signed and had your child return their field trip permission form with the photo release form on the back of the page, please do so this week. That way I will be able to take students to Chimacum Creek next week to collect water quality data as part of our Ocean Guardian School Environmental Stewardship Project! 

Here are links to another copy of the permission slip and the photo release form. Read this for details about this project.

And parents, if you cannot get your school-issued laptop to connect to the Internet, click here to see if these instructions will work to get you connected. If that doesn't work, contact us, the teachers, so that we can submit a tech request work order.

With regards to the field trip permission slip and photo release form in the packets that went home to Cohort C kids, if you fill that out and send it to me, if in the future I get to work with your kids face-to-face, I can get them down to the creek to test the water quality right away! It's wishful thinking and preparing ahead. :)
