Here are assignments that are homework for students who have not completed them: Robotics Vocabulary, Energy Vocabulary, Friction, Forces and Motion, Humans Flying, and Super Speed assignment.

Tuesday - Today teams will get to work on their Potential Energy robotics challenge. Whatever they don't finish they will have to pick up where they leave off after spring break and after the Islandwood trip!

Wednesday - Today Mrs. Kaster will do her Second Step lesson during Science. Then students will work on their physics assignments.

Thursday - Today we will have a guest presentation during Science on the History of Chimacum Creek by North Olympic Salmon Coalition (NOSC) restoration stewards.

Tuesday to Thursday - I will be away to this year's NCCE educational technology conference so we will have a guest teacher subbing for me these three days.

Students will continue to work on all of the above while I'm gone. As always, students can message me with questions on Classcraft and parents you can also message me on Classdojo. I will try to check my messages during the day but I will probably not be able to respond until I get back to the hotel in the evening. 

I'm excited because it's the first time I get to attend a conference in person since COVID and I'm leading a Minecraft Education workshop for teachers as well as co-presenting at a Coding in Minecraft session! :)


Friday -  I will be back today to check in on how students are doing and to make sure we are all on track. We need to complete our work by next week, before spring break.
