Put your phones and earbuds away when you walk in. They should not be at your computer.

Still Checking ePortfolio’s

If you were absent yesterday, or I ran out of time to check yours – please open your ePortfolio and keep it open in the background while you work. I’ll stop by during class and check it.

Happy Friday and have a great weekend!!!

ePortfolio Check

Periods 1 – 5, please open your Canvas ePortfolio. I’m going to walk around and check what you’ve completed to put in the gradebook.

You can still work on your assignments while I’m walking around.

Wednesday

I’m at a CS & Robotics Workshop today, but will be back in class tomorrow to see the work you’ve done.

Reminders:

  • Phones are put up when the bell rings
  • Earbuds/headphones are put up as well
  • You have an assigned seat – sit there
  • There is no eating in the room
  • You are responsible for completing your work, even with a sub
  • You can get help from classmates
  • Have a great day!

Graphic Design & Illustration 1 and 2 – complete your assignments that you are working on and then move into the Elements of Art Challenge. Year 1 students – pick a mammal to draw. Year 2 students – pick a person (full body).

Audio/Video Production 1 and 2 – many of you are not finished with your shooting, so you don’t have enough clips to edit. Because of that, you are doing the “Copyright” lesson while I’m gone. The sub will give you a packet for reading, and a sheet with questions. You’ll answer them in your ePortfolio. Year 1 – I expect you to complete about 1/2 of them. Year 2 – you might come close to completing all.

PAAVTC – Whatever challenge you left off, that is where you begin. Don’t sit there stuck – ask for help (sub or classmates next to you).

Comp Sci – You are working through Lesson 7. If you’ve completed it, see if there is someone that you can help. Yesterday there were a few students who were stuck on breaking down the function into many smaller functions.

Camera Checkout

If you are using a camera or other equipment, you’ll need to sign out for each piece and then sign it back in when you return it. Even during class time.

This will ensure that all of our equipment is put back safely for the next group to use it.

Third Period

Juniors will attend the Class Ring Information Presentation in the Auditorium.

Reminder

Phones and earbuds should be off and put away by the time that the tardy bell rings. Put away means in your purse, backpack or pocket – not on the table next to your computer where you are likely to pick it up out of habit.

Let’s have a good week!

TGIF

Some of you have asked about contests that you can enter. I’ve added a new page to the website for Contests! I have 4 entries so far, but will continue to add them.
Work hard today and have a great weekend!

Good Luck to our Mustang Football Team! Beat Terry!!!
