HOMEROOM
Today in homeroom with great attendance by the way, we expanded on our inspirational Mt. Rushmore. Each 7th grader hosted a break out room, 8th graders interviewed those 7th graders. The details of the assignment are shown below.
BREAKOUT ROOM TASK
Hello 7th and 8th Graders
This week we are building in ways to get to know each other better. It is difficult in online format to meet people your age and make connections like you would if you were at school in person.
Today we will get into the things that you care about, inspired you and generate interests you might not otherwise have thought about.
We will conduct breakout rooms today (Tuesday September 15) and on Thursday September 17. Today 8th graders will choose 3 breakout rooms. In each room you will join in with possibly other 8th graders and ask the 7th graders hosting the breakout rooms. Who is on their inspiration Mr. Rushmore and ask the host about 1 of their Mt. Rushmore you are curious about and why that person inspires them.
We will keep the breakout rooms open for 40 minutes. It might take some time getting used to knowing how to do this, so I added 10 minutes to adjust. Try to spend no more than 10 minutes in each of the breakout rooms you choose.
8th graders: From the 3 breakout rooms you will:
1) Write the names of the 3 hosting students you went to and the name of the breakout rooms.
2) Choose one of the host students and one of their Mt. Rushmore people they talked about. Report what that 7th grade host said on why that person is inspiring to them. I suggest taking notes on your meetings with those students. Act is if you are a reporter learning about a new story.
3) From the 3 breakout rooms you went to, pick one of the Mt. Rushmore people you know little or nothing about. Conduct your own research about one of those people that interest you and report 3 things about them that would likely be inspiring to people.
4) Tell us what research source you used to find out about the person you choose.
This will be your homeroom assignment for the week. Post your results in Unified Classroom. If you do not have access to Unified/Powerschool to do this, let your homeroom teacher know.
7th Graders send your work to Mr. Lew
8th Graders send your work to Ms. Beyer
On Thursday, the roles will switch. 8th graders will host the breakout room and the 7th graders will be asking questions.

SCIENCE for 7th and 8th grade
We discussed use of this blog and how it can help you particularly concepts from last class.
We want to make sure you have access to Moby Max, Big History Project and later on Edgenuity when the curriculum there matches what we are learning.
So today: you should make sure you can log into Moby Max. I sent you the username and password in Unified Messages.
You should check your new assignments for Science and join the class in the Big History Project.
As long as you can do that, you will ready for Friday.

IF YOU ARE HAVING TROUBLES WITH TECHNOLOGY IN THIS VIRTUAL WORLD WE ARE PUSHED INTO NOW MORE THAN EVER, GIVE THIS PLACE A TRY!
I have never promoted advertising of any kind on my blog or ever worked with advertising before in my line of work.
So just know, this is not an advertising pitch. I just strongly believe in promoting a good thing when I see one!
Many of you know the struggles I have experienced this early school year with technology issues. With the help of "Uncle Mike" at Speedy Tech Computer Repair our family is back on track and ready for learning.
Mike owns a local computer shop and he works efficiently. He has great customer service and gets the job done at an affordable price. I used to make the mistake of hiring Geek Squad and would come away from the experience disappointed. I strongly suggest talking to Mike if you have any troubles with technology you can't figure out. He will take care of you!
Mike is not a relative. I jokingly call him Uncle Mike because I had troubles with: not getting enough access to our router, couldn't watch TV, stream videos without interruption and our internet would pop off because the router strength was too weak. I had a slow running computer, our printer broke, I couldn't use my mouse, internet and webcam at the same time and my webcam broke all in a matter of a couple of weeks. Mike even fixed our iPad! I saw Mike more than I saw family members for a while there but everything is fixed and good to go. Mike suggested good products (where you won't waste money) to buy and where to find a good price if he doesn't have it in stock.
Tech trouble? Go to Speedy Tech! Mike has your back!
