Admin Announcements: 

1. Thank you to classes who have started the after lunch clean-up.  Teachers, please see the google doc Ms. O'Donnell sent out last week with the schedule of class clean up.  Students, we appreciate you taking pride in your school and helping to maintain a clean campus.  While helping with the clean up, please be aware that classes are still in session.  Expectations include talking in a quiet calm voice (no yelling), staying within sight of your teacher, and participating in the clean up.  

2.  Have you been caught being Tardy?  Remember that you need to be in your seat when the bell rings in order to be on time to class.  Random tardy sweeps are happening, and they result in automatic LOP.  Don't be late! 

3.  Hopefully you have not had your PAC signed this P3 for any behavior infractions, dress code, computer violations, etc.  For those that have clean PACs you will get to join us on March 12 for the PAC party.  Please note, any student that refuses to give their PAC to a teacher or staff that is asking for it to sign, you will receive TWO LOPs.  iMiddle students are respectful and take responsibility for their actions.  Please make sure you are following the rules, and if you are choosing to not follow the rules, hand over your PAC and accept the PAC signature the first time to avoid further consequences.  

4.  Just a reminder that P3 ends this Friday, March 9.  Since this is the first 6 weeks of the new semester, no student should have any missing assignments.  However, if you do have missing work, take time this week to get that work turned in!! Organize your backpacks and binders, check your Powerschool and get that worked turned in. 

Extra Time?

Get Organized: Clean out back packs, organize 3 ring binders (no loose papers).

Check for Late or Missing Work - lets get caught up!

Genius Hour Check in - 

Each Tuesday we will be checking in with students on their progress toward their Genius Hour Project.

Teachers: Check in with student on the progress they are making.  Consider doing the round robin activity from last week if you did not use it (see below).  Teachers you can also show the video below while you conference with students.

Students:  Remember to DOCUMENT, DOCUMENT, DOCUMENT. Take pictures or video of you building/creating/making/practicing.  Take a moment today to reflect on what you have done so far and what adjustments you may need to make!

Past announcements:

2/23 - Students should continue to research, learn, make, create and document their efforts. THEY MUST BE DOCUMENTING. They can use the class time to get this documentation done, collected in one place, update their planning doc etc. Remind them that they created a plan on their yellow paper to follow! This is a good time to start with a round robin and have student briefly share their progress. "I'm researching", "I've made one recipe", "I'm building my first version of ____", "I have been practicing ____________ 3 times a week for an hour I can now ________."

2/13: All students should have selected their project and had it approved by their teacher. This is the learning and exploring time. Many students want to start creating their final product but this is TOO EARLY. Students should be researching, learning, making, creating and documenting their efforts. They should NOT be making google slides, editing iMovies or making cookbooks yet. These will be the results of their learning!

Extra Time?

Get Organized: Clean out back packs, organize 3 ring binders (no loose papers).
