Thursday I gave all my students a midterm progress report. This is my 7th and 8th graders second copy so they should have improved their grade since they had more time than the 6th graders to see what they were missing. You can always view your child's progress on my online progress report webpage to see what they've done to raise their grade.

6th grade Science:

Monday - Third period still has one group left to present their Powerpoint on what they learned. Then they will start what 1st and 6th period will do the entire period.

Student teams will start typing the information for their wikis.
HW - None if you're all caught up.
Tuesday - Early Release today. I will have 1st and 3rd period only.
Today 6th graders will be typing their water quality information onto Word. They are choosing how much information and which types of information to type from all the research they conducted and from the feedback they got last week when they presented to their classes.
HW - None if you're all caught up.
Wednesday - Early Release today. I will have my 6th period class.
Today 6th graders will be typing their water quality information onto Word. They are choosing how much information and which types of information to type from all the research they conducted and from the feedback they got last week when they presented to their classes.
