I have posted grades today for Floral Design classes. So far for 2nd period- only 2 people have gone to check their grades. Any grade below a 70 has been highlighted. All grades that are in the 70's range has a dot next to it as a warning that that could fall below passing.

ART grades will be posted by the end of the week.

Grades Update

I have been able to update quite a few grades today since I have returned from out of state. I am still in the process of getting holes filled in.

Art 1 will be having a test over their Journals later this week. Due to the fact that they have not been too successful at keeping up with their Journals.

This week will be a cluster.
Art 3s are continuing their Contour Line Projects.

Unable to Access a thing...

Today marks the 4th day, not consecutive, that I have not been able to access anything within our system/district. I am unable to get into e-mail, my online grade-book or anything dealing with having to log in.
So what does this mean? I can't communicate with anyone through e-mail. I am unable to upload grades. I can't do attendance. I am unable to do a thing.
So I am just throwing this out there, just so you know! I am not trying to ignore or not do my job.

For the Week of May 1-5

Just a reminder, I will be out all this week. I will be returning on May 8. I have updated grades up to this point in time. I entered 'Completion/Participation' grades for this most current collection of projects. Those summative grades will be entered once I return.
This week you will be doing daily Busy work. It will be collected each day, then passed back out on Friday. You are to do a check-list and create a packet of your week's work and turn it in to the sub for a Summative Grade. If you are absent or if you were testing, simply state that on your packet cover sheet.

Please behave. Clean up and make me proud.

Grade update

My mind is complete mush.
I discovered a mistake while entering grades, however, I can't fix it completely since it's too late for today. So on Monday I will do everything possible in fixing it. What happened was, instead of entering a 'mass' MISSING once I entered that grades I had, I accidentally entered a 'mass' 100 for the blanks. But I am fixing it right now, back to MISSINGS. Good thing it's just a progress grade and it can be fixed. oops....

Okay I lied....

My last blog post I mentioned that I wouldn't be able to do 'Wake-Up' Wednesday ON WEDNESDAY. Due to my new class schedule. However, I stayed yesterday and left my room at 4:45 and arrived at Temple College at 5:30 for my 6:00 Orientation. Sooooooooo I think I should be okay on keeping with my normal Tutorials. If I see that for some reason this won't work out once classes start next week, I will let you know.

Happy New Year and New Changes

Happy 2017. I hope and pray this year is a joyous one. We all have had our dealings with 2016 and are glad to see a new year.

In class yesterday I mentioned to everyone a few changes for this semester.
1st would be a new seating change. I'm hoping to move my desks around by next week. A fresh look.

Tutorials: I will not be able to stay late on Monday's or Wednesdays, which means I am going to have to move my 'Wake Up Wednesdays' to another day. I will be starting evening classes at Temple College next week. Yay Me... So starting next week, I will stay after school on Thursdays in order for those who need tutorials. I am still here most mornings by 8:15 and sometimes even earlier that that, so I could write you a pass if you need to get to my room prior to 8:15.

Art Club: for the next 8 weeks for sure, I will not be sponsoring the Art Club which is on Tuesdays. Again, my schedule won't allow for me to stay late. My Daughter is now in Basketball and her practices are on Tuesdays at 5:30. Doesn't seem like a big deal, but when you live 40 minutes away from campus, there is no way I could get her there on time. Have you seen that traffic out there....
I am not sure if the other Art teachers will take over for me or I may move it to Thursdays since I will be here for tutorials. Listen to announcements or come check in with me.


Other than that things are normal. Students are back in the swing of things and eager to learn new stuff.
