Hi all,
Here are your plans for the week. Please show respect to your teacher. Use your time wisely. I’ll see you all on Tuesday. Make it a great day!
Special Note
There is no movement in class during ALL Periods for Monday. Students may not move around the class for any reason. If you need to get up, please raise your hand to get approval from the teacher. If you get your name on the teacher's notes in a negative way, you get a lunch detention. If someone needs help, please ask the teacher if you can go help them.
P1 - Homeroom - Introduce yourself, take attendance, listen to announcements, answer any questions, send the students off with their computers and a warm wish or thought for the day.

Here are a couple of rules you need to know about the C205 Tech Lab

Students start on your daily routine for this week
10 min - Daily Touch typing on Typing.com (13 min on the clock) - You all will need to go to typing.com and create an account. Click on the link below to get started. Use your Rio Schools email and password to create an account.START WORKING ON THE BEGINNERS LESSONS
Noise level is between a 2 & 3 but should NEVER get so loud we disturb other classes
Walking around is for help only, no social maneuvering around the classroom:
Lost movement privileges, stay in your seat - ALL STUDENTS
Consequences for repeated (2) disruptions:
Students may be moved away from others & continue working if the behavior improves
Students may be moved to a 6th-grade class or to the office with a blue behavior referral - students will lose promotion points and will not be available to help their teams.
Just do your work:)
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!!!!!
Done with your Project - Students can do these activities when completed with a project and done posting on their blog. Early finishers can go on DIY ACTIVITIES
Start thinking about another project you want to do for yourself!
1 min - Logging out of class devices & shutting down - I make all students wait at their workstations until all headphones, tables, and chairs are neatly arranged. I excuse one row at a time. Do not excuse students until workspaces are clean.
P7 needs to put chairs up and shut down the TV on FRIDAY!
Guest Teacher Reminders:
Write good, detailed, and readable reflections.
Email me if you have any questions.
I wish you all a good day. Help each other & respect each other.
See you tomorrow,
Mr. Garcia
P.S. you can email me any questions. It may take me a while to respond.
