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!

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

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.

Quarter 2, Week 10, 1-25 to 1-29

Cohort A - 8:45 to 11:15 am A1 - Tues/Thurs/Fri,  A2 - Mon/Wed/Fri Cohort B - 1:00 to 3:25 pm B1 - Tues/Thurs/Fri,  B2 - Mon/Wed/Fri Monday and Tuesday - Students who have not finished the following have until Friday to get them done: Water Quality Research (done with their parameter EdPuzzle) Graph Your Data Teach It! Students who are done with the above assignments can work on any of the optional, extra quests on Classcraft. :) Wednesday and Thursday - Students will take their Math MAP test on the day they are with me in Science class. Friday - Today students will take the Reading MAP in all their classes.

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. Students who have not finished the following have until Friday to get them done: Water Quality Research (done with their parameter EdPuzzle) Graph Your Data Teach It! Students who are done with the above assignments can work on any of the optional, extra quests on Classcraft. :) Cohort C students will be working with Mr. Brennan to complete their MAP testing from home.

Quarter 2, Week 9, 1-18 to 1-22

 

Cohorts A & B & C! Monday - Today is Martin Luther King, Jr Day so no Zoom meetings and no school! Tuesday - Morning Zoom Meeting with all three teachers from 8:45 am to 9:15 am today! Tuesday at 1:30 students will have another Zoom class with all three teachers. From now on the 1:30 Zoom classes will be done by Mr. Brennan only for Cohorts B and C. Cohorts A and C will have morning Zooms at 8:45 as well! Now that Cohorts A and B are coming back to school, students will be presenting their Teach It lessons to their cohorts live! Cohort C will continue to share their Teach It lessons with me and I will make a special quest for them to watch each other's lessons so they can learn about all the parameters we are testing for Chimacum Creek! Everyone needs to finish these assignments in order to even be able to get a passing grade in Science, a 3, when the semester ends next week, Friday, January 29: Water Quality Research Graph Your Data Teach It! Some kids have been doing the optional, fun, assignments that I've posted for kids who are done with all their Science work and not the required assignments and they will not be able to earn a 3! I've been reminding them so there's no reason why your child can't get a 3 for this semester - they've had plenty of time. :) Wednesday - Students will be working on their ELA/SS, Math, and Science work throughout the today as usual. Today we will not have any Zoom or Google Meets unless students request one. I am also checking Classcraft for students who message me for help. Parents can message me on Bloomz or email me anytime as well. Thursday & Friday - Cohort A will be coming to school both days from 8:45 am to 11:15 am. Cohort B will be coming to school both days from 1:00 pm to 3:25 pm. Morning Zoom Meeting at 8:45 am with Mr. Brennan for Cohorts B and C will still be happening for Math. Afternoon Zoom Meeting at 1:30 with Mr. Brennan for Cohorts A and C will still be happening for Math.

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