On Fridays I will see all Cohort A and B students but for half the time (Ms. Berg and I will switch half way through each class).

Cohort C Week's Science Work - Cohort C students still need to check Classcraft everyday, take attendance everyday, watch the videos in the Class Announcements, and do some Science work everyday. Here's what students will be focused on doing this week in Classcraft (in the Environmental Stewardship quest): The water pollution project called Hydrodynamics Challenge

Email Mr. Gonzalez with any questions or parents contact Mr. G via Bloomz and students can message Mr. G on Classcraft.

Quarter 3, Week 4, 2-22 to 2-26

Every family should have received their child's report card by now. Message us on Bloomz or email us if you have not received your copy or if you have any questions.

Monday to Friday - Here's what we are going to work on this week: Thinking Like a Scientist Fact or Fake The water pollution project called Hydrodynamics Challenge On Fridays I will see all Cohort A and B students but for half the time (Ms. Berg and I will switch half way through each class).

Cohort C Week's Science Work - Cohort C students still need to check Classcraft every day, take attendance every day, watch the videos in the Class Announcements every day, and do some Science work every day. By now, the Water Quality Parameters notes, conclusion, and blog post are overdue and missing if not done yet. Here's what we are going to work on this week (I will introduce and start each lesson on my daily morning videos): Thinking Like a Scientist Fact or Fake The water pollution project called Hydrodynamics Challenge

Quarter 3, Week 3, 2-15 to 2-19

Cohort A - 8:45 to 11:15 am A1 - Wed/Fri A2 - Tues/Thurs Cohort B - 1:00 to 3:25 pm B1 - Wed/Fri B2 - Tues/Thurs Monday - President's Day - No School Tuesday and Wednesday - Here's what we will finish this week so it's due this week: Water Quality Parameters All Once we are done with the above assignment, which means we will have a complete conclusion done, we will use the class microscopes to look at our creek water. Thursday and Friday - Once students are done with their conclusion blog posts, and once we are done with our microscope work we will start to transition to our unit on water pollution.

Cohort C Week's Science Work - Cohort C students still need to check Classcraft everyday, take attendance everyday, watch the videos in the Class Announcements, and do some Science work everyday. Monday - President's Day - No School Here's what we will finish this week so it's due this week: The Notes Document assignment in the Water Quality Parameters Quest Once students are done with the above document they will share their conclusions by writing a conclusion blog post.  Then we will begin working on the transition to a unit on water pollution.

Email Mr. Gonzalez with any questions or parents contact Mr. G via Bloomz and students message Mr. G on Classcraft.

Quarter 3, Week 2, 2-8 to 2-12

Cohort A - 8:45 to 11:15 am A1 - Tues/Thurs A2 - Mon/Wed Cohort B - 1:00 to 3:25 pm B1 - Tues/Thurs B2 - Mon/Wed Monday to Thursday - This week students will finish presenting their water quality parameter projects. Then we will begin writing a conclusion based on the evidence we all collected about Chimacum Creek. The assignment that students are working on this week is called Water Quality Parameters All. Once we are done with our conclusions, we will take a look at the microscopic life that is in our creek! Friday - If we don't get snow this week then there will be no school today because today is snow day make up day that we haven't used. And with Monday's President's Day that makes for a four-day weekend.

Cohort C Week's Science Work - Cohort C students need to check Classcraft everyday, take attendance everyday, watch the videos in the Class Announcements, and do some Science work everyday. Students need to finish the Water Quality Parameters quest on Classcraft this week. Even if they didn't finish their Teach It project they need to move on to the new assignments or they will continue to be behind in Science and have a much harder time catching up. The document that kids will turn in is the assignment called Notes Document in the Water Quality Parameters quest. Friday there will be no school, as long as it doesn't snow before then, and with Monday off for President's Day that means we will have a four-day weekend!

Quarter 3, Week 1, 2-1 to 2-5

Grades for the 1st Semester are being added in Skyward (I already have Science scores in there so call the office if you need your Skyward login information). Teachers are also preparing written progress reports to go with the grades to explain the scores.

Getting a score of 1 on the Science standard means that I received little to no work and therefore cannot accurately assess the student's understanding of the concepts.

Getting a score of 2 on the Science standard means that I received some work and maybe even provided feedback and have not yet received a revision or the revision still needs work. This score shows the student is beginning to show understanding of the concepts.

Getting a score of 3 shows an understanding of the concepts so I received enough evidence.

Getting a score of 4 shows an understanding of the concepts beyond what was expected. Typically this is for students who include enough detail to show a deep understanding of the concepts and how they apply to our environment.
