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.

Today
Art 1 kids will be working on their Value projects today. While they are working on them, I will be calling students up to my desk and letting them know if they are missing anything in the gradebook. Grades will also be posted as a reminder to those students.

Gradebook update
Today I was going through my gradebook online and discovered that my Art 3 assignments are gone.... Man, where did they go. Must be a glitch somewhere. So I will be reentering those tomorrow. Along with grading Everything that has been turned in throughout this week.
Floral projects were all finished and turned in today, so I will be grading those starting tomorrow as well.

Grade Status- Please Read
Happy Sunday early evening to you all.
I am currently 1/2 way through grading projects and getting my gradebook as up to date as I can at this point in time.
I will be contacting parents/guardians of students that have failing grades on Monday. These failing grades may simply be because a project wasn't turned into my Red Turn-in Tray on my counter, or there was no name on it. Or it could be because the student never attempted to do the projects.
On Tuesday I will be posting grades and encouraging students to check their grades and to turn in anything that is missing. I will also be doing a final Notebook check (I gave all classes a day to get 'caught up' this past Friday).

Interactive Notebooks - You've been warned!!!
Art 1 kids have been warned today, or will be warned about how their Interactive Notebooks will be graded. They were suppose to have been keeping up with their notebooks. However, I graded 5 out of 32 in one class and nobody made higher than a 52. SO... today, they are to get caught up. And when I grade them if anything is out of place/or missing, they will receive a ZERO. This is a SUMMATIVE grade.
