A few logistics

Focus attention to teacher

I will raise my hand and ask for everyone’s attention.

I will wait until I have it. If your partner or others are talking,

show them that I am waiting without yelling at them

AssignmentIn your planner …After we review each slide – you

will write down a summary or word that best describes what you think is most important from that slide.

Read, Read, Read

Computers and Guidebooks have all the directions you need.

It is important to read through the entire instructions before you begin an experiments or start cooking

Often you will not have enough time!

The computer screens will always tell you the directions.

Example “Where is the Narrative writing sheet?” is in the directions.

Classroom MovementLarge group class instruction

◦Please do not sharpen pencils, get tissues, throw trash away, get out of your seat, with out permission. This is very well thought-out because of

our lab. Start the practice now.

◦ALWAYS – stay seated and raise your hand for questions or to leave the class. I will come to you. Please do not come

to me. Yes, even for bathroom passes! ESPECIALLY in the lab. That can be

dangerous.

These chairs are NOT A RIDE AT ELITCH’S !!

Proper use of chairs

Special lab chairs on wheels: The height can be changed so you are

comfortable at the computers. Adjust your seat height once.

Feet must always be on the floor to move. This will help stay still in a chair that spins.

Wheels will help you move about the work area. The work area is from corner to corner of the

unit. Your chair will stay in the unit, so you will walk

to destination.

Do not push each other around in the chairs.

Asking for help In whole class discussions it is best to raise your hand.

Unless given permission, you are not to leave your unit. Wait for help.◦ Includes asking a question regarding the bathroom

The ADMIN system has a call instructor button – this way you can see where you are in line to be helped.◦ REMEMBER – I will come to you!◦ If you see you are a ways down on the list – reread the

directions. Talk with your partner about them. Ask an expert if we have one. If still unsure, continue on in the program.

Signaling you are ready for an assessment ◦ Turn on the light at the unit and continue working in

the program. ◦ Your light should not be on or played with!

VisitorsExpect to see Mr. Delgado walk in

this room to show off our lab to visitors.

objective.
