Kingins' Science Site

Though not officially up and running and there’s no news on it yet, the 7th Grade website is now beginning to add info.  If you or someone you know is in the 7th grade and has a birthday in September, please visit the site at the address below and put a comment on the calendar.  We’ll get it added for you.

7th Grade Days

If you’re interested in working on the new North Marshall 7th Grade website, please respond to this post.  Make sure you include an email address so that I can get a list started and we can get going.

Homework turned in, openers taken up, notes completed, and Mystery Bag activity FINALLY done.  The plan for next week will be posted before the end of the weekend.

I have to say how impressed I am with the 7th grade.  They know how to act in the hall and follow directions EXCELLENTLY in lab.  What an awesome group of students.

Today, we’re working on our scientific method notes.  I’m adding the powerpoint to the site today.  You’ll find it under the table with the openers.  We’re also taking a little quiz.  Nothing painful at all. We’re going to go over our homework assignment for tomorrow and if we move quickly enough, we may go to lab…just have to wait and see.  We’ve been trying to get there all week, but there’s just too much going on.

Well, in order to have a little fun, as we were going over the scientific method, we took the words on cards and tried to put them in order.  The “prize” goes to 7th period who managed to put everyone in order in – drum roll, please – 9 seconds!  Awesome job, guys!  We’ve had to move our activity one more day, but notes were more important today.

We’re working on those Scientific Method notes, but it’s slow going with the Early Dismissal day.  No worries.  We’ll get there!  I’m going to upload the powerpoint Thursday after we go through more of it.

Tomorrow, we’ve got a really quick lab activity we were going to do today.  No lab equipment necessary.  Just …..BRING YOUR BRAIN!!!!

Remember to get your science notebook from the back of the room as soon as you get into class on Monday.  That applies from this point on.  Also, remember, you have an opener on the board every day.  Those openers are to be done at the beginning of class.  If you’re absent, write absent in the blanks of the day you were out or they will be counted as wrong.

Guys, openers are an easy 100 points a week as long as you make an effort on them.  Don’t lose points just because you didn’t try.

Well, we didn’t get started on the scientific method, but we did manage to finish up lab safety and have some fun with the safety rap.  By the way, my 7th period class ROCKS!  Well, you all did pretty good, but they had the lyrics down on the instrumental version.  Have to admit, you impressed me.

Looks like this is going to be a fun year.  Lots of positives in the classroom and alot of energy going on in there.  5th period – DO THE MONKEY!!!!

Next week, it’s scientific method and labs.

Awesome school, awesome kids, AWESOME YEAR!
