Presentation Schedule

Here it is, straight from Ortega herself.

We are going in reverse order by first name...the Valeries will get to laugh at you all while you stress out.  Atiana and Ayaa will be really happy come until Thursday : )  I figure 9 people each day except Tuesday.  Remember, you must be there the full day for full participation points.  

Monday:  Valerie I, Valerie D. Sierrah, Sasha, Sam, Ricky, Patrick, Nick, Mariela

Tuesday:  Lindsey, Kaitlyn, JP, Jose, Jeannette, Jackie (go to elective for last block)

Wednesday:  Izaak, Imelda, Iadaida, Eric, Denyce, David, Daisy, Cynthia, Christine

Thursday:  Chris, Ayaa, Atiana  

If all goes according to plan, we could have about two blocks available at the end of presentations on Thursday.  Maybe we could have a belated Valentine Celebration?  We could have some food and maybe decorate little bags, and we could each write each of our classmates little hand-made notes of kindness?  Or you can just be really silly and buy your favorite Scooby-Doo or Transformers kind (although I'm still a fan of the kind words).  Maybe we could all bring in a cheap pillow case and Sharpies and then write nice things to each other on the pillow cases so we can go to sleep and wake up to all the wonderful things people think about us.  We could also watch a goofy romantic comedy.

Thoughts?

P.S.  Your Independent Component Blog is due on Friday by 8 A.M.
P.P.S.  Don't forget to look at your lesson plan comments (on your blog), read over the component contract, and bring a hard copy of your plan on Monday (no plan on Monday, no P on your lesson)!
