Alas, it is finally Friday!
First lessons this week helped us realize the endurance and passion required present something we spent many a night researching and working for, and they also helped lighten our load this weekend thankful...
TODAY: first lesson presentations (the remaining few)...elective too, and then we reviewed recommendations and commendations as far as the effectiveness of the lessons were concerned - pointers for our next one around the corner...
Don't forget the little homework we do have:
HOMEWORK (second rotation)
- Ortega: do a Goodreads assignment if you wish to recieve an AE for your SSR grades this month (treat it as necessary extra credit); for next rotation, complete your 'reading records' in your notebooks and have ready a printed out version of your timed Model Assembly writings (and share those with your MA groups too!)
- finish the fill-out form about our goals for english class (due FIRST ROTATION NEXT WEEK)
- Piggott: none; test coming up soon though (hence, all the recent practice and review)
- Rivas: none; keep polishing up those bills and don't forget about the advertisement schemes we must plan for the persuasion of our iPoly peers...2nd group report due TODAY if you have not tuned it into him already (share the doc at this point with bmrivas@gmail.com)
- Holt: keep up to date with the material with textbook reading on Magnetism (exact page numbers and website references in the picture of Holt's board above - for real this time); have your Hab lights working if you have not already and begin polishing up those Martian huts as the due date is fast approaching...remember, extra commodities to the Hab landscape shall be counted as extra credit points!
- Senior Project: Blog #11 (Lesson One Reflection Questionnaire) due 24 hours after your Lesson One Presentations...DON'T FORGET THIS FORGETTABLE DUE DATE!
SCHEDULE OF EVENTS (second rotation)
- Ortega: We read for the twenty minute beginning of class, after which we received our scores for the EPT essays we handed in to the discretion of two english teachers here on campus (one from the lower grades and another from the upper two grades). We also got back our results from the NWEA and CAASP tests we tackled earlier this semester! If you are conditional or did not meet the requirements of state-sponsored math and english subjects, please be sure to chat with the senior team on a game plan in how to make yourself college ready...afterwards, we began filling out a sheet having us analyze our goals this class and what we are (and attempting to) read/ing in the coming month.
- Pigott: We reviewed the worksheet we completed for class/homework; we then played a competitive game that tested our math skills accumulated thus far. To this end, we arranged ourselves into groups of four and conquered math problems against the speed of each other in doing so (through representatives bravely facing the guillotine of the smart board for their groups). The winning was awarded bonus points for the upcoming test!
- Holt: We went over what is expected of us during our 8-minutes presentations on Thursday and Friday, after which we had an activity where we had to build a type of skyscraper consisting of only straws, 2 pieces of Popsicle sticks, and some tape. Each model had to reach a certain height (20 m) and support as many washers (people) as possible; in order to win the competition reigning over all efforts invested, each monstrosity had to pass the specified height and support as many 'guests' Sokovia as possible!
- Senior Project: no research checks due this Friday, but our 10-minute lesson plans shall be presented to our classes during THIRD ROTATION (that's tomorrow folks)...follow your intuition and your house teacher's notes on the templates we handed in and you should be fine...
