Aviation Career Day 2018

What a great day full of great question, wonderful flights, tragic balsa wood crashes, and even students losing their lunch to a drone flying teacher!  Thanks Karen @VC Innovates for getting Rio Vista Condors soaring at Aviation Career Day!

CS Friday Lesson Plan

Hi all,

Here are your plans for Wednesday.  Please show respect to your teacher, Mrs. Peraza today.  Use your time wisely. I’ll see you all Monday. If any students come in needing tech repair, please refer them to the library for service. Make it a great day!

Basic Plan all Periods

1. 10 min - Daily Touch typing on Typing.com (10 min) - TA or NitroType Games on Fri.
2. 5 min - Check email, personal time, catch up on missed work in this class, OR CHECK THE LESSON PLANS on Class Blog.
3. 4 min - Preview the day’s  - your time to introduce yourself -
4. P2, 4, 5, & 6 - Various projects
1. Students are finishing 3 different projects and posting them on their blogs.
1. Blog Comments
2. Email Signature
3. Careers in Aviation
2. Students need to work on customizing their blogs if they have time available.
5. 35 min - Work on projects - detailed above
1. Guest teacher - Students may be collaborating which is encouraged.  Or, they may be just visiting so you will need to move around the classroom and listen into conversations.  THIS IS CRUCIAL FOR GOOD CLASSROOM MANAGEMENT!!!!!
6. Done with Project - Students can do these activities when complete with project and posting on their blog.  Early finishers can go on DIY Projects - If you are here, go to Gamestarmechanic.  
7. DIY ACTIVITIES

Blogger	Modify your blogs themes, colors, and layout
Gamestarmechanic	Great game design website.  Sign in, use the year 2004 for registering, select “Get Started” until you get to the “Quest” and click on that.
Tinkercad	Create a new project or work on an old one
Finish Preparing 3D printed ID	Use tools carefully and clean up work table
Code.org	Work on another new task or finish one from last year
Scratch	Go play some games on Scratch!  When you find a game you like, look at the code used to create it

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.
1. P6 needs to put chairs up on FRIDAY!

Reminders:

• Write good, detailed, and readable reflections.  
• Email me if you have any question.
• 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

Careers in Aviation

As we prepare for our field trip to Aviation Career Day at the beautiful Camarillo Airport, I would like you to search what types of careers there are in aviation.

1. Search for careers in aviation.  Vary your search parameters to get different results.
2. Find something you are curious or interested about.
3. Create a blog post linking the information you found and any images to support your post.
Need help creating a hyperlink, check this out.


I found this article to be interesting.  The fields that interest me are pilot, engineer, and flight crew.

Parent Tech Night Student Showcase & Moon Watch

CS Students - Moon Challenge!

1. Go to the last section of the slideshow titled International Moon Observation
2. Find the moon maps both online and the copy Mr. G has for you
3. Find 3 specific geographical formations on both paper and online map
4. Write the names of those formations on the paper copy & show Mr. G that you can say their name.  Practice with a neighbor first.  You can work with a partner.
5. If you can do this, you can each select 3 NASA lithograph space photos for each of you
