Welcome to Sixth Grade Science. Today you recieved alot of information about alot of different things! I know you heard alot today, but everything will be great. You are going to have a great year. Mr. Jones asked you to have your parents fill out the packets of information and return them to school tomorrow. You have no science homework, although I asked you to check out my websites, and if you are reading this, you are doing a great job. Please take the time, with your parents, to fill out the form on the forms page. Also, on the other website, there is a newsflash page, please take the time to register all of the email addresses for you and your parents, I will use this to send you very important Science updates and information throughout the year. We are off to the start of a great year. I will see you tomorrow.

I am so sorry this update is so late. I went to visit my mom and forgot to update the website first. Today in science class we finished Mustang Camp, we went over the parent science letter and we started talking about safety rules. I explained that you will have a quiz tomorrow over the first 12 lab safety rules and that you should start studying right away. I asked you to go over the parent science letter with your parents and have them sign it. Please bring the entire letter back to Mrs. Crannie tomorrow, do not cut off the bottom (it's ok if you did already) and do not give it to your first period teacher, unless you are in Mrs. Crannie's first period! If you have not visited the News Flash page and registered your email address, please do this as soon as possible. Also, if you have not gone to our other website and filled out the "forms" page, please complete it as soon as possible. Study your lab safety rules (during commercials is fine with me) and have the parent letter signed. See you in class tomorrow.

Today in science class we took a quiz over the first 12 lab safety rules. We started a project on lab safety. Your team has been given a very important task, you must work together to solve the problem. GOOD LUCK! Your homework tonight is to study the remaining Lab Safety Rules and work on your project if you need to. The project is due on Friday! If you have not returned your science letter, please get it signed and returned to Mrs. Crannie. Also, if you have not registered for News Flash and filled out the forms page, please do so immediately.

Today in science class we took our second quiz over the safety rules. We continued to work on our group projects. Your group should almost be done. Some of you may have to work at home to catch up. Your homework for tonight is to study the lab safety symbols.

Today in science class we finished up our projects. We went in to the science lab to put the finishing touches on our maps. We also took a quiz over the safety symbols. You have no homework, remember that we have a safety test on Tuesday, so you should have already been studying. Also we are going to set up your spirals on Tuesday, so make sure you have your interactive notebook spiral with you in class. You took a handout home about the spiral, if you have lost it, I have posted it in the handouts and documents section of this website. If you haven't already signed up for forms and for newsflash, please do that as soon as possible. Have a great weekend.
