I am glad the new portal to grades is open. It will reduce paper and stress in my life! I hope it makes life for many of you easier. We still have a few discussions in class about how a paper wasn't turned in and after quizzing me is found in the book bag and other various places belonging to the child. There are still some nameless and homeless papers posted on my wall. Please remind your child to always check the wall for "Lost" work.
Please remind your children forms are due and projects should be started. I am still getting what should I do? We have been working on Science Fair since August. Research,topics, how to and websites have been given many times to help the children. Mr. Meeks has been in several times to help children with projects and project ideas. There is still a powerpoint on the Landon Site. We even sponsored a Science Fair night. Yes, I am still being asked,"Can I see how smart my dog is?". I have reminded children not to use humans, animals with back bones, mold,product comparisons and dry ice.
We have done many experiments using the scientific method and the children should be well versed in how to do planning, data collection and conclusions. All scientist can fail and your project is right even if it doesn't turn out as expected.
The following quizzes are coming up:
11/23-11/24 on p 212-215

progress reports for period 1-3,Science Fair and email
Hi Everyone,
Time for a weekly update.
The class period 1-3 were given progress reports. Classes 4-6 will receive the progress reports on Monday.The students may correct any redo papers and turn them back in for credit. Late work can also be turned in for reduced credit. All classwork/homework are due by the next class period in the box for that class period. Please make sure names are on papers.
The students have been given many instructions on Science Fair. I am still missing topics. Topics were due October 30. Most have been returned though many have not been turned in yet. The final project is due on Dec 7- Jan 5.
What your student should have done by now is:
Turned in topic
completed form wizard and turned in forms.
Completed research plan
and ready to start on project.
Please remember to keep a log for collecting data and take pictures.
I am currently having trouble with the school email. I continue to delete messages and sent messages and still can't get my mail box empty enough to sent out emails. It is frustrating. I write your responses and can't send them out to you. I will comtinue to work on this problem. I delete a lot of messages telling me my mailbox is almost full! Life is funny sometimes.
Table of Contents for the next few days:
11/6-11/9 weathering p14-15
11/10-11/12 Weathering II p16-17(18-19)
11/13-11/16 Weathering III P 20-21

weather/weathering and Science Fair/ classwork rubric
Hi Parents!
I would like to update the table of contents:
10/27-28-Writing a report p6-7
10/29-30-Winds p 8-9
11/2-3-Are you ready? p10-11
11/4-5- Weather or not p12-13
11/6-9-Weathering p 14-15
Mr. Meeks will be in Friday to answer Science Fair questions
Topic should have been submitted by 10/29-30. The students can go to the Landon website or this website to connect to the forms wizard and fill out their forms and start the project.
Until this school year, I always did a weekly progress report for parents and students. This helped everyone to stay on track and know about missing work or test scores. I didn't do this the first nine weeks because the parent grade portal to Oncourse was to open during the nine weeks. Unfortunately, this did not happen as planned. Therefore, I will resume doing weekly progress reports until the portal is open. This should help everyone communicate better on student work and grades.
