Mr. L

Hi 7^th Grade!,

You have two assignments for me: 1) Please complete the Exploration 1 and 2) Please complete the MS Teams assignment.  Both of these assignments (together) should take you no more than about 20-25 minutes. 

 

You’ve got this!,

Mr. L

Have the best afternoon,

Mr. L

Hi Folks!,

Please get your Exploration 3 completed before tomorrow.  You've got this!

Also remember your dance form in so you can show off your moves on Friday.

Mr. L

Please remember to bring in your dance form/money + Cross Country permission slips.  ALSO, your "Seafloor Spreading" is NOT homework; you will have a bit of time at the beginning of class to complete it.  I apologize for not having enough time to meet with everyone today; this is a detailed lab and it takes time for me to go from person to person who all have different questions.  Don't worry, I'll go over the last couple more difficult questions.  We'll get through it together, again, don't worry.

Mr. L

Hi Folks!,

You have a Small bit of homework (hopefully) tonight: You need to go into HMH and make sure the two most recent explorations and the virtual lab are finished.  I can see several students are behind, and I need you to catch up prior to tomorrow. You do Not need to work on the "Seafloor Spreading" investigation.

Thank you,

Mr. L

Thank you!,

Mr. L

Mr. L

Have a great afternoon!,

Mr. L

You've turned in your proposal, and you should be proud of yourselves.  Please know that I was absolutely beaming with pride all week as I read through proposals and approved them.  

Remember: you have 15 Inventor's Logs to work on, 15 Photo Logs to work on, a Speech to create/memorize, a display board to create, and, most importantly, build the most AMAZING version of your invention that you can.  I have honestly never been so excited for an Invention Convention, and I can't wait to see you all of you shine.  

Make me proud.  I believe in you all so much!

Mr. L

Greetings Middle School,

 

Please remember that your Invention Convention Design Proposal is due no later than 1/28/22.  This due date is extremely important so please begin working on this step Now.  1) You will sketch your design idea on the template page that I gave you, 2) you will have a parent/guardian sign the portion on the back, and 3) you will type a one page, double-spaced paper (including a heading) answering the questions that I gave you on the back (don't bother writing the answers on the back; those questions are meant as a guide for how to structure your paper). 

 

According to the Invention Convention instructions, "Once you have decided what you are going to build, you are going to create a detailed (and very neat) sketch of how your invention works that should fill up a piece of regular printer/copier paper (no larger!).  In your sketch, all parts, materials, and measurements should be clearly labeled.  In addition, you will staple a typed one page (MLA format) design idea description to your sketch.  Your idea paper will tell me the purpose of your invention, why you chose to build this invention, and how you will build it."

 

 

Greetings MS Students!,

As a reminder, your Invention Convention Project Proposal is due no later than tomorrow at the beginning of class (this applies to the students who have not yet submitted their proposals; 8^th graders can email me this).  You must submit the following three items all at one time:  1) sketch your design on the graph paper Very, Very neatly/detailed, 2) type a one page, double-spaced paper Answering the questions on the back in a nice, professional paper, and 3) obtain a signature on the bottom “Parent Signature Section.”  I am attaching the packet to this email in case you can’t find it.  As of right now, all proposals that I have are already entered into PowerSchool so please check the feedback I left you (if there is no score, that means I do not have your proposal).  I believe in each of you So much, and I can’t wait to see you knock this project out of the park! 

Good Luck!,

Mr. Langston

Your ONLY homework: Your Invention Convention design idea is due NO LATER than Friday! (Getting your idea in tomorrow is Highly preferred.)  You've got this! Make me proud :)
Mr. L

Hi folks,

Your quiz corrections are due tomorrow (you can get up to 100% credit for this rare, once in a lifetime opportunity).  You must a) tell me why you missed the question, and b) tell me what the answer should have been. 

MOST IMPORTANTLY: Your design idea (full page, double spaced proposal paper, invention sketch, and parent signature) are all due NO LATER than Friday.  You've got this! Make me proud!

Hi 7th Grade,

Hi Folks,

Tomorrow you will take your HMH Quiz; it covers the first three explorations that you have completed.  Also, your very short Exploration 3 is due.  TOMORROW IS THE LAST DAY THAT I WILL ACCEPT Virtual Labs/Explorations that you have already been assigned (this is nonnegotiable so please check to make 1000000000% certain you are up to date with all HMH assignments). 

Hi Folks! Your lab from today is due tomorrow.  Please make sure you are 100000000000% caught up with your HMH, and also make sure you have no missing assignments for science. (ALSO you have Friday to work on Invention Convention so please come prepared.)

 

Great job today on your lab.  Have a wonderful afternoon,

A friendly reminder that your ELECTIVES FORMS are due TOMORROW!  The Sooner you get the form in (6th and 8th give the forms to Mr. L, 7th to Mrs. Deehr), the more likely you will be placed in the elective of your choice.  I will be placing students in their courses either tomorrow or Friday.
