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)!

**Bring 3 articles on your topic area (Crime, Family, Civil, and Agriculture) and a working bibliography for Model Assembly research only

There will be no four core rotation. The research is individual! So groups of 3 should have 9 between them and groups of 4 should have 12 between them.

Thursday Schedule

Tomorrow, we will be having a regular Thursday schedule, meaning no 4-core. Because there is no 4-core, in conjuction with Scare Faire, there will not be a Research Check. Because Purther won't be in class tomorrow, here is the schedule for his class:

Sit in Better Budgets Groups

1. 15-20 minutes to finish #38
2. 30 minutes Bill Info
• group activity (Model Assembly)
• read only the summary
3. 20-25 minutes: How A Bill Becomes A Law
• Model Assembly
• #40 in Notebook

Here is the link to the site for the Bill Info Activity: http://www.leginfo.ca.gov/bilinfo.html

From Ms. Ortega:

1. Tomorrow is animal ear day.  You could bring Mickey ears, or some other type of animal ear headband.  You could also bring some paper (felt or other material) ears that you have cut out.  If someone can bring a bunch of bobby pins, all we'll need to do is clip the ears onto our hair.
2. Please bring Halloween Decoration materials by tomorrow.  Everyone who does will get extra credit.

From Ms. Melogno:

Google Groups has not let me upload files or change content for the past two days; not surprising because it's always been a buggy product.  I started a GoogleSite to post the documents I promised you in class:  https://sites.google.com/site/ipolyphysics/
