Writing "Missing Work List" for Each Student: For each student, write up a list of assignments that have a 0 in the grade book. I will log into PowerSchool and open up the gradebook for you. Using half sheets of scratch paper, please put the kids name at the top and then simply list which assignments for which they have a 0 (if any). Ignore blanks since they indicate that something hasn't been scored yet. If a kid has no 0s in their row for either subject (yay), then they don't get a sheet.

Ongoing Tasks and Projects (for When Daily Stuff is Done)

Read Science World magazine(s) and Add Article Annotations to the Database ... big project that will span many sessions and people. In this project you will read an issue of Science World and enter a bunch of information into a form that adds to the database. Click here! Ongoing flex-time project for one or two parents.
Student Created Test Questions: check the student-created test questions for new items, and type them into Examview
Enter Questions from Cards: create ExamView banks for life science units and enter the questions on the cards
Scan Kids' Discover magazines: scan all pages of issues with post-its on them to one pdf
Science Question Images: search, copy, and past images into science question database
Writing "Missing Work List" for Each Student: Since I do most of my correcting of papers over the weekend, I'm hoping that at the beginning of each week one parent will routinely write up a list of assignments that have a 0 in the grade book. I will log into PowerSchool and open up the gradebook for you. Using half sheets of scratch paper (on shelf by the door), please put the kids name at the top and then simply list which assignments for which they have a 0 (if any). Ignore blanks since they indicate that something hasn't been scored yet. If a kid has no 0s in their row for either subject (yay), then they don't get a sheet.

Technology Tasks

1. The printer in room 25 is no longer printing. Many computers need the printer cue cleared out.
2. Cable management: the cords for the desktops should be in the corrugated tubes and clipped at the ends
3. The 2 macs closest to the window often lost internet connection... and they don't print to our printer
4. Need to determine which macbooks are usable and which are not (all need to be connected to power)
5. Flash player to PC closest to door

7. Get my MacBook to print to our (rm 25) printer

Student-Assistance Guidelines & Ideas

Behavior During Instruction: During any kind of whole-class instruction (from me or other student or video, etc) help chatty kids get focused onto the right stuff. Often your physical proximity will do the trick, other times you may need to tap their shoulder and point to what they should be paying attention to. For a greater impact you may need to ask them to come outside with you so that you can have a chat with them about any issue(s) you see in class.
Individual Work: Although a casual atmosphere is my preference, if the kids aren't productive and engaged, then they need some external force to get them to do so -- that force is you. :) There is always some work to be done in class. If the task at hand is already done, there is usually a leftovers list.
Group Project Facilitation: Whether the kids are working alone or in groups, they sometimes need help getting their energies and attentions put onto the tasks at hand. For group projects it often helps to ask idle kids "what can you do to help with this project", and then help them (or just watch) as they put themselves to work.

Big Projects & Ongoing Routines

Making a print copy of the daily schedule: While at school, go to my website and find the daily schedule. Copy days that are not posted on the wall. Paste into Word and format like the others (arial font, date =28pt, headers = 24 pt, text = 20 point). Maria Laughlin did this on all afternoons. All semester (or year) for one parent. That parent can also remind me to update the online stuff like the assignment spreadsheet, calendar, and "do now" list.
Inactive: Burn CDs from FlipVideo files on my laptop: When I "correct" some essays, I record the session on a FlipVideo camera and then give it to the student on a CD when I return the essay. Your job is to find the video files on my laptop and burn each to a CD and label it with the student's name and essay topic. There will be a "control sheet" to keep track of which files have been done, by whom, and when. To get to the files, open up the hard drive ("Mr. H) from the desktop. In the first column, click "apple", in the second, click "FlipShare Data", in the third, click "Videos", and then you should see a list of the videos (but without names of whose is whose. If you click on one (top one), it should show a thumbnail which will show a kids name. Insert a CD, and then press the control key as you click on the video file and select "Burn (name of file) to CD". Select that, and then name the CD with the kids name and it should be off and running. I'll also walk you through this whole thing the first time and it will be much easier after that. On the average, there will be 8 videos each day (if I keep myself on pace).
Read Science World magazine(s) and Add Article Annotations to the Database ... big project that will span many sessions and people. In this project you will read an issue of Science World and enter a bunch of information into a form that adds to the database. Click here! Ongoing flex-time project for one or two parents. Joe Gager
Writing "Missing Work List" for Each Student: Since I do most of my correcting of papers over the weekend, I'm hoping that at the beginning of each week one parent will routinely write up a list of assignments that have a 0 in the grade book. I will log into PowerSchool and open up the gradebook for you. Using half sheets of scratch paper (on shelf by the door), please put the kids name at the top and then simply list which assignments for which they have a 0 (if any). Ignore blanks since they indicate that something hasn't been scored yet. If a kid has no 0s in their row for either subject (yay), then they don't get a sheet.
Enter "Hot SAT Words" into our 1000 words spreadsheet
