A few science updates...
Today students received their report cards for the 3rd grading period. Be sure to ask your child to see it.
It's hard to believe that we are in the final stretch of the year! Be remember to keep checking our online grades as teachers update them frequently. Encourage your child to ask questions and turn in assignments as well as pick up make-up work if he or she is absent. Sometimes these are forgotten here at the end of the year!
In science this week, we've been working on an ISN assignment on phases and phase changes. Students worked on these in class Monday through Thursday. They are due to me by next Thursday, April 13.
Also, they have an optional assignment on phases and phase changes. The students who finished their ISN activity early worked on this yesterday in class while the others worked on finishing their ISNs. I gave copies to students today and encouraged them to complete it but have made it optional. I don't want to give students extra work but I also want everyone to have the opportunity to earn points if they'd like. If students choose to complete it and turn it in, they will get a process completion grade. If they do not choose to complete it, they will get an X in the gradebook which excuses them from it.
Students will be taking their state AIR test for math on Monday and Tuesday so we'll be adjusting our schedules around the test. After Tuesday,we'll only have the state test for social studies left!
JMMS is also participating in Harvest for Hunger where we're donating food to the Akron-Canton Regional Foodbank. The most needed items are boxed cereal, canned soup, canned vegetables, canned tuna/chicken/ham, canned beef stew/chili, and peanut butter. Any nonperishable food items will be appreciated!
Thank you so much for your support! Have a wonderful weekend!
