Today's Quote:
Recap:
On Wednesday we buckled down and finished up class rules and procedures and the class syllabus. Students were introduced to the online resources we have for the class and how they are used. Students should remember to use the Quizlet link from the syllabus. 6th graders can join HERE. 7th graders should join HERE. 8th graders should join HERE. Quizlet is a powerful tool for learning vocabulary and class concepts and it's important to be in the right section as they ARE different.
Students were also told that they have access to their electronic textbook any time from home or wherever they can access the internet. To use the online book, follow these steps:
Log in to your student desktop
Go to your course schedule
Find the subject you want to work in
Click the link for electronic texts.
If you do not have internet access or you are a kinesthetic/tactile learner you should have a paper textbook. Letters will be sent home to parents to request a paper textbook. You MUST bring the letter back signed for a book to be issued. As soon as I have user name and passwords for kids, I will give them to students to write down.
Entry Task/ Brain Bender:
(This should be written in your agenda, every day!)
Get your Chromebook and sign in-BEFORE THE FIRST BELL RINGS!
Agenda:
Who are you?- take the quiz. Write your learning style down in your syllabus. Email a copy to yourself AND to me Thomas.allison@marion.k12.fl.us
Write your Chromebook number down in your syllabus
Take the multiple intelligence quiz and write down your results in your syllabus
Take the Learning Styles Inventory and write it down in your syllabus
You MUST have completed these three quizzes BEFORE you can begin writing your paragraph for homework.
Homework: ALL GRADE LEVELS
Please write a brief paragraph explaining how you can use the things we spoke about this week to be a more successful student in, not only science but in other classes as well.
For example, if you know that your learning style is kinesthetic (tactile) and your learning style is "The Logician"and your main intelligence is "The Naturalist" how can you apply these things to your learning.
NOTE: You MUST complete the three quizzes above BEFORE you can write your paragraph. I prefer you word process your work and email it to me or save it to your county storage space.
