Lesson Plans for Tuesday

Hi all,

Here are your plans for today.  Please show respect to your teacher, Mrs. Polanco.  Use your time wisely. I’ll see you all on Wednesday.  If any students come in needing tech repair, please refer them to the Tech Crew (Emilio, Alexis, Anthony, Joseph, & Cristopher) for service or to the library if it is necessary. Please stay focused, relax, finish your work, and enjoy the movie!

How many of you think the world will be different in 50 years?  Will it be livable to humans? Will we be ok? Will you be helping to ensure the survival of the human species?

Basic Plan all Periods

1. 4 min - Check email and CHECK THE LESSON PLANS on Class Blog.
2. Class Work - All students are either finishing the last of their tasks and posting them on the blog or are done and looking for something to do.  
1. All the work they need to finish can be found on the blog or in student portal.  Last day to turn in work is Tuesday, June 11.
2. After you take attendance, please start the movie I left on the TV.  I purchased Wally on Amazon. I’ll try to start it before I leave in the morning.  Each class has a couple of students who I showed how to start the movie - P2 - Emilio & Gio, P4 - Alexis & Joseph, P5 - Aracely & Danae, P6 - Joel & Athziry
3. Please place yourself in the back of the classroom so you can monitor student behavior.
4. No Drones today

Tasks Students have set their own goals. They are responsible for reaching their goals and helping their team finish their project.   NOISE Level Noise level is between a 2 & 3 but should NEVER get so loud we disturb other classes or there is no yelling across the class. Walking around is for help only, no social maneuvering around the classroom: Lost movement privileges, stay in seat - P2 - Kevin, Elijah, Keanu     P4 - Cole, Consequences for repeated (2) disruptions: Student may be moved away from others & continue working if behavior improves Student may be sent  to office with a blue behavior referral - student will loose promotion points and will not be available to help their CSP team. Just do your work and stay focused Be Calm:)

3. 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 into conversations.  THIS IS CRUCIAL FOR GOOD CLASSROOM MANAGEMENT!!!!!
4. 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.  
5. 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:

• 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 Wednesday
