OBJECTIVE: Students and the teacher will connect.
Mr. K will hold an optional virtual meeting on Google Meet for anyone wishing to touch base today from 10 until 10:30 AM. To access this meeting, you can either click the link here (meet.google.com/mhw-shtf-byo ) or call in on your phone (1 318-565-6479, PIN: 356 223 509#). If you call in, you will need to use the PIN number shown. If you use the link, it is advised that you NOT be logged into your school account -- the settings currently aren't working for this. If you are logged in to your school Google account, it may prevent your participation, but if you aren't logged in, there doesn't seem to be a problem. The purpose of this meeting is primarily to respond to student questions. Many things are still uncertain at this point, so there may not be answers to all of your questions.
ANNOUNCEMENT: If you wish to improve your current semester grade in the class, you may resubmit any of your POP's to Google Classroom for grading / regrading. At the moment, participation scores such as daily journals and shop clean-up participation will not be changed.

For this semester, students will complete at least 300 more points of advanced-woodworking-quality projects by the end of the semester. This might come in the form of one or two projects. No project less than 100 points will be approved. Additionally, students must utilize either the new Shaper Origin CNC routers, or attempt to steam-bend wood in one of their 2nd semester projects.
Students were shown images of things that can be completed with both the Shaper Origin CNC routers, as well as steam bending. Resources can be found on the CVHS Safety Page for both endeavors.

Students are to use this POP Template when generating their POP(s). You will need to make a copy of this and then add it to your drive. You will not have edit rights to this file when you first open it. All POP's are to be completed by Wednesday, 2/12. All parts of this template should be completed.

Today's journal question referred to shop clean-up tasks (posted below). In general, during clean-up, students are expected to first complete their tasks as soon as possible (floor brooms cannot sweep before hand brooms are finished brushing off equipment and tables). When finished with their own task, students are to assist someone else. Everyone stays working the entire time until Mr. K indicates clean-up is finished at the end of the period. Students receive points each day based on whether their assigned area is cleaned, and whether they stayed busy the entire time during clean-up.
