​Hi all,

Here are your plans for today.  Please show respect to your teacher. Use your time wisely. I’ll see you all on Friday.  If any students come in needing tech repair, please refer them to the library if it is necessary. Please stay focused, relaxed. 

Basic Plan all Periods

1. 10 min - Touch Typing on typing.com
   
   
2. 4 min - Please bring up class the Class Blog on the TV.  Ask students to go to class blog and look over the lesson plans. 
   
   
3. Class Work - All students are working on programming in Scratch
   
   

Tasks Task for Thursday Complete your Scratch Coding Reflection in Google docs. Make it look good, reread your writing, and ask someone to edit your work. I posted an example on the blog. 1. complete reflection on google docs 2. Copy & paste writing into your blog with this title "Scratch Coding Reflection" 3. Add a screenshot of your code to the post 4. Publish Extra work choices a. finish your 3 coding projects b. get an account in Gamestar Mechanic & start working in Quests This task was due on Tuesday 10/1 2nd & 3rd year students - Using the Creative Computing document located on the class blog, students must complete 3 game simulations on Scratch including: Maze, Pong, & Scroll.  Completed working projects must be embedded on their class blog with a reflection about the projects. 1st year students (all 6th & 7th Grade students) - Using Scratch tutorials, students must complete the Making Music tutorial & 2 more of their choice.  Completed working projects must be embedded on their class blog with a reflection about the projects. All projects MUST work like directed in the tutorial.  Early finishers can go back and add more detail to their project NOISE Level Noise level is between a 1 or 2 but should NEVER get so loud we disturb each other in class.. Walking around is for help only, no social maneuvering around the classroom:  Consequences for repeated (2) disruptions: Student may be moved away from others & continue working if behavior improves Student may be sent  to the office with a blue behavior referral - student will lose promotion points. Just do your work and stay focused, Be Calm:)

4. Please help students who are struggling with the technology or instructions
   
   
5. 35 min - Work on projects - detailed above
   
   
1. Guest teacher - Students may be collaborating which is encouraged.  Or, they may be just socializing so you will need to move around the classroom and listen to conversations.  THIS IS CRUCIAL FOR GOOD CLASSROOM MANAGEMENT!!!!!.
   
   
6. Early finishers can go on  DIY Projects - If you are here, go to Gamestarmechanic.  
   
   
7. DIY ACTIVITIES

1. 1 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.
   
   

Reminders:

• Supply good, detailed, and readable evidence.
  
  
• Keep the noise and the movement down. 
  
  
• Email me if you have any questions.
  
  
• Collaboration is helpful, socializing is distracting - Know why you are out of your seat and it cannot be to socialize.
  
  

I wish you all a good day.  See you Monday.

Mr. Garcia
