Lesson Plan for Friday

Hi all,
Yes, I am out once again to help me prepare for testing. Do a good job today and get those out of sight racecars build. Know your car's dimensions!  You have a great teacher today so enjoy the new set of eyes to impress. I'll be dropping by because I'm on campus.

Basic Plan all Periods
  1. 10 min - Daily Touch typing on Typing Agent (10 min) - TA or NitroType Games on Fri.
  2. 4 min - Check email & CHECK THE LESSON PLANS.
  3. 4 min - Preview the day’s activities with class -
    1. P2, 5, & 6 - Friday
      1. Students are posting a “What’s Up” post on their blog.  It is a review of what they have done during the week.  Once done, they are working on designing a racecar with rolling wheels.  Here is the screencast to help get started.  
    2. P4 Friday
      1. Students are posting a “What’s Up” post on their blog.  It is a review of what they have done during the week.  All students can work on finishing their earbud holder.  You can also work on your school project if you have something you want to get done.
      2. Earbud project reminders:
        1. Is it artistic (not a box or oval with a name)
        2. Is it flat on the bed
        3. What size is it (Know the measurements and about how big in will be in your hand)
        4. Will it do what you want it to do?
      3. Done with Earbud, Keep working on your Video Game
      4. Film crew - continue uploading all the video from the Lion King practice.  PLEASE DELETE ALL VIDEOS FROM CARDS.  Try to get some editing done on the video to produce a short movie.
      5. Road rally crew - How’s the poster going? - Date to be determined later this week
      6. SALT - Prepare your kits, look over scripts
      7. Aerial art - Add your names and emails to the letter.  Send to dmainzer, mklinefelter, amendez & agarcia. Don’t forget the @rioschools.org part.  Do not expect a quick response, they are very busy.  Start working on your own idea for a design.  
      8. Skoolcade Crew -  Look over the name logo’s on this doc.  Screenshot your favorite and put it on your shared doc.
      9. 35 min - Work on projects - detailed above
    3. Guest teacher - Students may be collaborating which is encouraged.  Or, they maybe just visiting so you will need to move around the classroom and listen into conversations.  THIS IS CRUCIAL FOR GOOD CLASSROOM MANAGEMENT!!!!!
  4. Done with Project - Students can do these activities when complete with project
    1. DIY Jobs - listed on tv, at the end of this lesson plan, on blog
  5. 2t3 min - Shutting down & logging out - I make all student wait at stations till all headphones, tables, and chairs are neatly arranged.  I excuse one row at a time.   Do not excuse students until workspaces are clean.


Please stand outside of classroom to monitor students in the passageway.  Keep them off the rail!

Make it a great day people!  I’ll see you Monday for testing.  Mr. G
