I think today is going to be a great day!! I believe sincerely that this class is going to make me proud when I check back with Mr. Hannem to find out how it went. However, just because I can't help it, I have to remind you one more time of the items we discussed yesterday:
- Please be obedient, don't complain and be respectful to each other, yourself and especially Mr. Hannem.
- "Police" each other so that Mr. Hannem doesn't have to. If you see another friend starting to get out of line, give them "a look" or "a word" or "a nod" to let them know they should tone it down.
- Mr. Hannem: We are operating under a very strict discipline code for the month of November. If a student is out of line for whatever reason (blurting out, interrupting, too loud, distraction, etc.), then please put his/her name on the board. They will stay in at the next recess. I'm so sorry, but this means you will need to stay in and supervise them as well. All students except for those in detention should vacate the room at break times (today it is 12:20ish - after lunch has been eaten (lunch recess) and 2:00 (afternoon recess) The students whose names are on the board will need to sit at their desk with their heads down or being 100% quiet for the entire break once you have ushered everyone else out. Even if you feel like you are being super mean, Mr. Hannem, you have to put their name down because we are working very hard at changing bad habits of lack of self-control and rowdiness/noisiness. Thanks for being strict with this class!!
Here is the schedule for today. It is a really lax day in my opinion!!! You have been working really hard the last little while, so I guess you deserve a lax day. :)
8:30 - Students come in to classroom and get their stuff ready for Spanish/French. It will probably take 10 minutes to read through this blog and then Ms. Y and Mr. Hrzik will be ready for their students at 8:40. Feneti will take attendance. Thanks Feneti!!
8:40 - 9:25 - Spanish/French - Mr. Hannem can go to the staff room and have a coffee break :) Students learn Spanish/French while being attentive, focused and respectful to their teachers.
9:30ish - Students proceed to Chapel in the Fellowship Room downstairs. Josiah is speaking about the topic of pornography so be prepared for a heavy topic. The students know this. This is Josiah's 3rd talk in the series. They will sit quietly and listen even if they are bored or uncomfortable!!!!
9:30-10:45 - CHAPEL
10:45 - 11:15 - Daily Physical Activity - The grade 7's walk around Ben Lee Park for DPA and they stop at the Skate Park so that those with scooters and skateboards can have some time to enjoy it. I promised them a little longer time today, so I've extended this time to approximately 11:15, but Mr. Hannem will use his discretion as to how long he wants it to be. When he blows the whistle 3 times or yells, "Time to head back!" You will honour that!
11:15 to 11:50ish - Please complete the handout that Mr. Hannem has for you on my desk labelled, "Hand out". When you are finished, you can put it in the Blue Box and get ready for lunch.
11:50ish - Lunch Monitors get ready for their lunch duty. (Gr. 1, 2, 3)
12:00 - 12:20 - LUNCH - Mr. Hannem, You can stay in the room as an adult presence in the class (preferable) or go to the Staff Room if you need to get a coffee.
12:20 - 12:50 - Lunch time detentions or, if there are none, Mr. Hannem's time to kick everyone out and lock the classroom door and go to the staff room for a break.
12:50 - 2:55 - Watch the video, "Race to Freedom". As I mentioned, this is loosely based on the novel. I will ask you later for the differences between the novel and the movie, but you will be thankful there is actually not any worksheet to fill out. :) Just enjoy the movie.
2:55 - 3:00 - You know the routine. Clean up EVERYTHING!! No garbage on the floor! Chairs up!! Only one thing plus a water bottle on your table.
3:00 - Mr. Hannem will dismiss you and be so thankful that he got to spend the day with such a delightful class. :)
