Thursday, Jan 24

We started the day by watching this video and then writing our own sentences.  Dan Pink's Question
I allowed the students to post their sentences anonymously so they could be honest without having to feel they were exposing themselves.  I wonder if we know each other well enough to be able to pair the sentences with their composers? At 9:40 we had band.


After band we did a word search puzzle that included terms/ideas that the students came in contact with after lunch during the "TCO2" taking care of ourselves presentation.  The words were: sexual exploitation, internet, image, safe people, digital dirt, reach out, safety, trust, online, computer, ismart,webcam and respect.  After that, we transitioned to math where we started with a brief quiz and then finished our mid-unit review.

After lunch we saw the last water cycle song.  It was worth the wait.  We then had the TCO2 presentation.  I thought the presenters did a very good job speaking about the issue of Internet safety, especially the topic of sexual exploitation.  The students were engaged and showed through their comments and questions that they understand the issues.  I'm pretty aware of this problem, but it's good that we all get tuned-up from time to time.  Thanks to TCO2!  We ended the day with a game of indoor soccer.  There is no homework for anybody.  Enjoy the rest of your day.
