Speaking to You Beyond My Absence!

*Message for Ms. McCoy: thank you so much for doing this. Do not hesitate to call me FOR ANY REASON if you need me. Please read these guidelines to the kiddos throughout the day (in the morning and at the designated time slot.)  Please REMIND them of expectations. They know them, but sometimes they forget. (voice level- 0,1,2,3,4 y'all KIDDOS demonstrate this for her.)
*Movies= folks must stay in their seat, they can move their chair a few inches, but thats it.
*iPADS MUST ALL BE PUT AWAY AND ACCOUNTED FOR BEFORE THE MOVIE STARTS. Jerald and Ronstraco are good to help put these away.
*if at any time Jerald and Ronstraco have free time and are finished, they can finish filing papers for me like they were yesterday. (Wilson's class)

NOW FOR THE CHILL-REN:

Hey guys! Its going to be a FANTASTIC FRIDAY even though I am not here today! How do I know this? Because, YOU ROCK. That's how.  Even though we had a rough moment at the end of the day yesterday, I know that you will stand up and show Ms. McCoy that you really are the best class in the fifth grade! Don't disappoint me! Keep a check on your voice level, stay in your seat, and be respectful. I have 100% faith in you! Be awesome! Mr. Ham and Ms. Lott will be popping in to check on your behavior.  (oh snap!)

Busy day today! Here s how it will go down:

*As students arrive- Breakfast- you may watch ARE YOU AFRAID OF THE DARK (click here) Reminders- stay in your seat, only move your chair a few inches to be able to see. SILENT so others can watch Ms.McCoy can stop it and remind you of this at any time. JAYDA PLEASE FILL OUT A SNACK SHEET- 2nd shelf from the bottom behind my desk. theres a basket sitting on top of it i think.

*end of video-9:30 Reading-  When the video is over, and all has been cleaned up- Ms.McCoy will read Emya's book about Squanto (I think its on the counter by the closet) Once you are finished there is a handout called Rescuing Squanto (or something like that) on the front table.

>RESTROOM BREAK AS A CLASS

See how many you can get BY YOURSELF! I don't mind you working together as long as voice level is on a ONE (which is WHISPERING, remember? Ms.McCoy will make you stay on a ZERO if you cannot remind yourself.) Turn into Ms.McCoy to the green basket when finished and you may HOODA OR ACHIEVE.
