CHROME BOOK - SHUT DOWN
Please log out and SHUT DOWN your Chromebook and not just close it at least once a week.
Let it remain shut down for at least 1 hour or even better while you sleep tonight.
The shut down allows the computer to update itself so it runs more efficiently.
DCS VIRTUAL CALMING ROOM
Need a brain break? Need a place to virtually chillax and zone out for a few minutes?
Take a moment to check out our DCS Virtual Calming Room. You will find live animal cameras, online coloring books, and visual relaxation videos, to name a few.
Cameras and Google Meet - Please encourage your student to turn on the camera on Google Meet during classes. It is difficult to know if a student is on task or is understanding the material when the camera is turned off. Google Meet is releasing a new feature to blur the background that is being pushed out through the next few days.
If your family is experiencing hardship, please see THIS FLYER with information about support available within the Dublin community.
Students continued researching their topics and began designing slides for their TED Talk. They will be using Screencastify to record their presentations next week. We've been analyzing qualities of strong TED Talk presentations to help us effectively communicate our claims. Students will share their final videos with each other through a student designed Google website.
We are flipping this week...those that did book clubs will be doing the argument project and argument project kids will be doing book clubs. We will be doing some friendly debating in periods one and two to wrap up our argument unit.
I do want families to know that I have been called for jury duty in Franklin county but the students will be left in good hands with Ms. Wood. She is a great district sub who is excited to have the possibility of working with your children. I am on call and will know the day before if I will be called to actual jury duty.
Now that we have learned about coordinate planes, plotting points and graphing polygons on a plane, students will apply mathematical and spatial reasoning to determine the surface areas of prisms and pyramids using nets, drawings, and measurements. Students solve a variety of surface area problems and distinguish between volume and surface area measurements.
