Daily Agenda, Friday

WARM-UP:
1) spend 10 minutes on free rice
2) record your donation amount on your Grains of Rice Donation spreadsheet
3) Print out your Grains of Rice donation spreadsheet and put it in the 4th period turn in tray

CLASS TIME TODAY:
* I don't want to concentrate on the textbook today. I have too much grading to do and don't want to create more.
So I have a short little activity I would like for you to do. It shouldn't take you long at all.

Once you are done with the handout you can turn it in to the 4th period tray and you can then have free time.

Have a great weekend.

Daily Agenda, Thursday

ANNOUNCEMENT:

I had one person lose points yesterday, because they left their textbook out by their computer. Please don't do this.

I expect you to put up your textbooks back in my bookshelf, neatly standing the way they were when you got your textbook everyday. I have 3 different types of classes and each one has a different textbook, therefore there is not enough room next to each computer for the textbooks of each class, plus it makes it look really tacky in here. If I notice a textbook left at the sit you were sitting in after your class period leaves, I will be taking off points on your Professionalism 10% grade each day. DON'T LEAVE YOUR TEXTBOOKS OUT, PERIOD!!!!

To do today:
1) Log on
2) Read my blog to find out daily activities
3) spend 15 minutes working on Free Rice
4) Get a textbook from the bookshelf
5) We are going to begin Lesson 3 exercises today. - I want to point out a couple of things before you get started.
