WEEK 1 August 17, 2020 Gaede's Classwork and Homework Opener: Ms. Gaede will welcome all and see if we can all get into our Zoom meeting and take roll. Pack Pride Pledge will be shown and discussed. Zoom expectations (including the mention of Dress code) will also be discussed. Slide presentation might be shown. Ms. Gaede will remind students always to go to Clever to get to their Google Drive then to Google Classroom which will give a link to Zoom meetings. They can also access docs and slides there. Still using Clever, students can find STEMscopes curriculum. CW: Ms. Gaede will try out the thumbs up or down about who have looked at the assignments posted already in Google Classroom. If time, Ms. Gaede will show something about Reyburn's Social media page and talk about the Photo Contest. Class will end with Ms. Gaede answering questions through chat or if students want to unmute themselves after raising hand and then they may ask a question. HW: Students should see if they can find and access Clever, create and get into Google classroom again to see Week 1 assignments, go to docs and slides just to look, and find and examine STEMscopes, their textbook and curriculum even if there are no or few assignments posted yet. August 18 and 19, 2020. Opener: Ms. Gaede will take a quick poll in Zoom to see how many students were able to look Google classroom or find STEMscopes an check how they are feeling today about online classes? Ms. Gaede will discuss the poll results. Then, Ms. gaede will go over the Period Class Syllabus discussing it somewhat and requesting that it needs to be signed and returned. This includes the Online Expectations. She also will go over maneuvering zoom (basic raising hands and acceptable backgrounds (using zoom file transfer), etc.) Finally, Students can take a piece of paper to write or go to a google document to type their first and last names. Then, choose two letters in their name and think of two words starting with those two letters that describe themselves. For example, Ms. Alison Gaede "Accepting and Loving" Students 9:15 There is an Assembly Wednesday only at 9:15 am. CW: Students will Read about Attitude is Everything as a class (it will be on Google classroom in case student was absent and needs to read.) The screen will be shared and Ms. Gaede will guide and try out the Annotation feature keeping the this as a whole class lesson and reading this article. S She will ask questions for students to unmute themselves when called upon to read aloud. She will ask for volunteers for today to speak and help her annotate this article. When they read their paragraph; they are are say what Ms. Gaede should highlight as most important. Then, students will write down or type in a google document a brief 15-20 word essay about this article and explain the importance of having a positive attitude. This will be due by Friday. HW: Students should complete all work asked of them to do so far by Friday. August 20 and 21, 2020. Opener: Ms. Gaede will open up the Google doc and ask for a thumbs up or down if everyone has been able to access this. Then, students will look at some Dinosaur Tracks projected on the doc cam and think about what has happened in all three sections of this diagram shown? Ms. Gaede will open the chat so that students may share answers about what they thought happened. CW: Students will now learn about lab equipment and try to remember what the names are of the equipment shown. They will view a slide show about important equipment. Then, they will learn about lab safety by reading aloud and silently. They will go to their Science Google Classroom and practice seeing the different assignments that are there for the first week and open them. They are to find the reading again and open to reread while they go to the google form to answer the questions on this new worksheet. HW: Students need to get parent signatures about the Period Class Syllabus including the Essential Agreements and the Lab safety worksheet. This is a very important document and is an assignment! WEEK 2 August 24, 2020. Opener: When Ms. Gaede is taking roll which take awhile to let everyone in, students should immediately finish all Science that needs to be done or look to see what we are doing this week on Google Classroom or here. CW: Ms. Gaede will briefly discuss the assignment Mystery Footprints. Then, she will show everyone their online textbook called Stemscopes. She will show that it is found in Clever. They will be able to view all the tabs and see that 4 assignments for this week are there for them to complete. Students will then write a 15-20 word essay about "Why the right attitude is so important in life" on a Google doc provided. After completing, students should make sure that they turn in. A few students already turned this assignment in and I received then via google docs already and they will not have to do it again. They should check with Ms. Gaede. HW: The Lab Safety Questions are due today so please complete. The Mystery Footprints is past due. (last Friday was the due date but Ms. Gaede will still accept but please keep up and turn it in very soon.)

CW: Students will listen to Ms. Gaede and view a few slides and take notes to help my students remember what she is teaching. Notes: See some in Google classroom discussing the Phenomena and also, the difference between Native vs. non-Native species. We also discussed important resources needed for survival for species: Sunlight Water Food (nutrients in soil include) Shelter (territory) Temperature (weather and climate) Oxygen (in air or water) The "Investigative Phenomena Question" is How does the amount of resources in an ecosystem affect populations? with 3 everyday phenomena: a. How do biotic and abiotic factors interact in an ecosystem? b. What types of cometition exist betweeen organisms? c. What can happen when interacting populations rely on a limited resource? You can get the new vocabulary in the Powerpoint about Competition in an Ecosystem. All will help my students when they are digitally complete their assignments. We are doing Investigative Phenomena introduction, Accessing Prior Knowledge, and the Hook Ecosystem Resource page. HW: Finish all three assignments by 11 pm tonight if you can.

Then and only then are students allowed to leave class a little early. Ms. Gaede will excuse every student that does well enough on the test and have a grade of a C or higher. The other students are to be working in all missing work or their Final tests. HW: Friday is our last day in class before the New Year and a New Semester. Friday, December 18, 2020.
