Zooming for all periods 1-7
Students need to attend and copy a few notes that Ms. Gaede instructs and watch a very dynamic power point for Continental Drift and Plate Tectonics and listen carefully. A lot of students are multi tasking during our class time and not learning as much as they could during this time:( Students will be told to copy the 8 questions in their journal and try to answer these questions,
Tuesday through Friday May 4-7, 2021.
Odd Classes Tuesday and Even Day Thursday: May 4 and May 6
Opener: Ms. Gaede will call students to put their award slip on the Wall of Champions for receiving an 80% or higher on either the Multiple Choice Test about Conservation of Mass. They will put their names, periods, and the title of the test or both. Ms. Gaede will put them up on the display Wall.
CW: Ms. Gaede will Review and give back The Rock Cycle. Students may have to finish the Power point given on Monday. Ms. Gaede will look at the Notes taken on Monday.
Students will then draw the different types of Plate Boundaries. Students will be given a class copy to see the different types of boundaries. A study guide for the tests next class has been mentioned and given since Monday. Ms. Gaede will go over the answers quickly before students take the test. But students have to copy the 8 questions and try to answer these questions before the day of the tests.
HW: Please finish all and study for these tests.
Odd Classes Wednesday and Even Day Friday: May 5 and May 7
Opener: Ms. Gaede will go over the Study Guide about Rocks and the Plate Tectonics giving answers for students to correct their answers.
CW: Students will take two Open Ended tests: The Rock Cycle and The PlateTectonics. They are to use their Laptops and go to Stemscopes and finish during class time. After finishing their test, then students need to go to any and all missing assignments, work on them and then turn them in. If they are in Stemscopes, they need to email Ms. Gaede of what they have finished.
HW: Finish everything that is mentioned for this week here and in Google classroom. Look at your grades and see what is still missing and if you grade is below a C still, you are requested to come to Intervention after lunch any time from 1:15pm until 2:30pm.
May 10 7th grade Science teachers away for Planning for next year. My students will watch with a Sub Zooming Nova: Hunting for Elements. Students can take notes and turn into Ms. Gaede to get some EC.
May 11- May 28
The Health and Sex Ed unit is being taught. Students who opted out will have an alternative booklet about health from the California Dairy Council. Both assignment packets or booklet will be graded.
If a student is out because of being quarantined, these students need to email Ms. Gaede and talk to their parents about possibly opting out of Health since this unit has to be taught in person during school hours if you are a hybrid student except for Mondays while we zoom. Intervention hours cannot be used to make up missed health classes. Reteaching in the Intervention zoom classes in order to improve grades is currently on Monday's from 1:40pm to 2:40pmish and Tuesday through Friday from 1:15 pm to 2:40 pm. Students can come any time during these times.
If students who are quarantined want to still take Health and Sex Ed and decide not to opt out-- they need to continue with an online class until they return to school. Ms. Gaede can arrange this as soon as quarantine begins but she needs to be notified by email. Missing Health for any reason will hurt student's grades. They should not miss any classes if possible during this time.
Please know that all missing and/or current work must be turned in before or no later than March 28, 2021. So don't forget to bring your Health packets or the Opting out Booklet to turn in the week of May 24-28th. No work will be accepted after this for any reason. I will need to grade and have your final grades for Science by the Tuesday of the last week of school. I have given my students every possible opportunity to turn in their work or go to afternoon Interventions.
