Note: I will be out of the classroom on Monday morning due to Yearbook Club Picture day and on Tuesday and Wednesday due to a conference. I will still be available to answer questions via e-mail.
Hour of Code
December 4th through December 8th is Computer Science Education Week. This week, students from all over the world will participate in an activity to learn a little bit more about computer science. North will hold our own activity after school on Thursday from 3:10-4:10pm in room 300. During this session, we will work with a Google add-on called "Story Speaker". In this session, each student will have a chance to write a "Choose your adventure"-style story. Once the story is written, with all of the different options, students can have Google present the story. This program can be run via a Chrome browser and also with a Google Home device.
Unit 6: Polygons and Quadrilaterals
This week, students will participate in a little self-directed learning. I have posted videos of our lessons and students will watch the videos while completing our notes template. During class on Tuesday, students will complete a short formative so that we can check our current level of understanding. I will return to class on Thursday for face-to-face instruction to help clear up any questions that may have come up during the first three days of class. During this time, I would like to remind students that I will be available via e-mail. Some students may find learning via video to be a difficult experience. I encourage students to try their best and work together. Eventually, students will need to complete an online class as part of the school district's graduation requirement. So, this exercise gives students a taste of what that might look like.
