6th Grade - Students have two tests next week: a DBQ (District Benchmark Quarterly) Assessment  and a Unit Test on Weather.  Today they received a Study Guide and have been assigned to fill out  the study guide over the weekend.  In the next week, students will earn 35% or more of their quarter grade in science class. Not only do students earn 25% of their quarter grade with tests, but they also earn 10% with their science notebooks, which I am grading through next week. 

I normally do not assign weekend homework, but felt this was crucial given our changed time lines due to storms.  Parents of 6th Graders, please help your child by providing them a time and quiet place where they can do this homework without distraction.  Thanks, Mr. Goldsmith

8th Grade - no homework, but should upgrade science notebooks for grading next week, and should review science notebooks to prepare for upcoming DBQ (District Benchmark Quarterly) Assessment.
