When you come into class… 1) Get out warm up log and start warm up when bell rings 2) Discuss warm up with neighbor if you are waiting for others to finish 3) Class discussion about warm up 4) If other work is due, (lab, etc.) I will give instructions on how to turn in Start of Class
1) Check out class website (HSC calendar) for what you missed (preferably night before) 2) Go to assignment log to see if there were any handouts 3) Get handouts from little portable file 4) ….. Then ask Mr. Dressen if you are still confused Return after Absence
You are tardy if you are not in your desk starting to work on your warm up when bell rings or logging in to work on module. • Please do not try to negotiate what “tardy” looks like in this class. • Think of this as a job, not a class. You arrive late to work, you get fired. What is a Tardy?
Not a problem we have our own bathroom • One consideration is when you are doing work with gloves on, you may have to wait. I Have to go to the Bathroom!
No food in room --- this room is a lab • No gum chewing in room --- this room is a lab • Water in a closed container/drink container will be allowed in seated area … not in lab area • Your food or non-water beverage will be taken away and carefully stored in the garbage/compost can • You can retrieve it after class Food/Drink Policy
LAHS policy on electronic devices is observed • We should use them for good not evil Electronic Devices
We will often review what we have learned (cool-down) and connect it to what you will learn soon. Sometimes you will hand in cool-down (exit slip). • Students do not pack up their belongings until after the teacher tells them to do so. • Students do not even flinch when the bell rings. Instead, they wait for the teacher to dismiss them. • Students double check that they understand the homework assignment. What Happens at End of Class
I use district website, it isn’t the greatest, but it is functional • Best bet is to go to HSC calendar Class Website
Before Period 1 Room P10 (CATTS building) • Always in my room 710 during lunch (unless school meeting) • Afterschool 3:30-4:30 by appointment in 710 (Mon/Tues/Thurs) • If you have a free 2nd or 3rd we can talk Finding Mr. Dressen
Respect your physical space (room/lab/equipment) • Respect your peers • Respect your teacher • Most importantly, respect yourself Finally …. I estimate Ms. Sarraf through the district spent about $120,000 to get this class set up and move construction class outside. 120,000 / 20 = $6,000 per student for one class
