Tuesday. 1, 3, 5.

On Tuesday, I have 1st Period, 3rd Period and 5th Period classes. It is an odd period day and I have 7th Period as a planning period, so I am done with classwork at about lunch time.

1st Period kids are working on either getting caught up in assignments or typing (they need to have 9 assignments completed by the end of the quarter) or they are working on a Microsoft PowerPoint commercial. This assignment came out of my "circle up" last week. The kids really seem to be enjoying it. It is a fun assignment and they get to look for pictures and music and sounds on the Internet. Even the kids that usually give me a hard time and disrupt class are all working hard and staying on task. Yeah!

3rd Period, the kids are completing their "Digital Me" projects. In "Digital Me," the kids put together a flash movie, complete with an introduction, links, scenes, graphics, etc. that outlines their life: their passion, their art, their pride, and so forth. The kids are doing some good work.

In 5th Period, the kids are either completing their Flash music video or are working on their "Spirit of Christmas at CLP" video. This is the one where all of the girls want to do stories about saving puppies and finding Santa Claus and the boys all want to do movies about "Ninja Santa" and "Gangstah Santa." For the most part, we have groups of kids scattered about the school filming stuff. Apparently, one group went running down the halls the afternoon on the far side of the building, disrupting classes and causing teachers to come running to Mr. Jewett and I to complain. We told them to behave and they got out of line. I wonder what the punishment will be???

Then, in my 7th Period, I spent time in Ms. Kimball's class, showing some of her kids how to do Flash games. Then, I graded late work until the bell.
