November 9, 2015 Though a bit chatty at times, the kids today were eager to learn and enthusiastic today.

Overall the computers were working fine, even though there are like five computers that are not working and need to be fixed or repaired. My fellow teach team member did a great job by explaining what the kids need to do and what is expected of them when they are done with the lesson plane. By:Jacqueline Samuel

September 22nd, 2015 All the groups completed their " what family means to me" sentences despite the loud entrance in the beginning of the class.

Fortunately, we had no computer problems throughout the day. Jacqueline was very good at keeping the kids' attention to the lesson. Written by: Suka Vo

June 17, 2015 All of the groups were great today and we found a way to use the smart board through a different login, so today went by a lot more efficiently. Isnino did well with keeping the slower kids at the same pace of the class. Jacqueline was helpful in completing all of the tedious tasks I gave her. Written by: Kristina Nguyen

June 16, 2015 Group C: Best group I've had since Summer Bridge began. They were so focused and entertained by the lesson plan, while still having about 10 minutes of free time.

A few of them also had about 10 minutes of free time. Group D: Even though there was an issue between socializing and being professional, the kids did not make any remarks about the lessons or my teaching so the class went a lot more smoothly. Isnino was great with sitting one- on- one to help the kindergarten and first graders finish their lessons.

The lesson was relatively simple and easy to do and most everybody finished their hats and some even made two hats. A power tool that we frequently used was label with language, by giving clear and easily understandable questions to the groups, we did not have to frequently repeat ourselves. We did not run into any new computer problems aside from the usual since the kids were not required to use them. Christina did a great job at cutting the folders into strips in advance so that we would have less waiting time for the class. By Alexis Medina

February 19,2015 The kids watched a movie. when are then:when you guys are quite then i will play the movie. i thanked the kids that were following more then one one the 4B's. no new computer problems just the same problems. Jack did a wonderful job controlling the kids when it got too noisy. -Isnino Ali

18 February 2015 There was not a lesson planned for either of the two classes, so we improvised and reviewed the packets for the 4-5th graders and played a coin game with the K-1st graders. Power Tool: Smile and Repeat - "Please raise your hands" Computer Problems: Faulty cords on some keyboards and mice. Kristina did well in showing the K-1 students how to play the coin game on the computers. -Antonio

February 12,2015 everything that was needed to be complete was completed. when and then: when you guys are quite then I will continue with the lesson plan. I thank each kid that was following one or more of the 4B's. no new problems just the same problems. jack did an awesome job! getting the kids to stay focused on me!. -isnino ali

10 February 2015 For 2-5th grade we completed going over the difference between needs and wants all students worked well. K-1 tried to do work however I believe that for the kindergartener's the workbook is extremely difficult. In an attempt to make it through the lesson plan I paired kindergarteners with first graders and then tried to complete the assignment as a class. However did not finish the workbook assignment as the class was unable to understand the assignment or work efficiently enough to finish. fill their bag smile repeat multiple computers are not functioning for various unknown reasons. Alexis did well helping individual children by Dom(that cool guy)

9 February 2015 Today's lesson was interesting to teach to the kids today. The 4th-5th grade class was able to do the lesson on dignity somewhat today; however, the 2nd-3rd grade classes struggled heavily in understanding the concepts of dignity in regards to your way of living as well as money/finances. The only two students were able to finish every single question from the pages 4-8 from the workbooks, but as we realized this, we assigned a couple of questions per page and had the class finish those specific questions. The workbooks of the kids that went to group today are in the white bin marked unfinished. 4th-5th is group C, 2nd-3rd is group B, and k-1st will be group A. A power tool that we used today was when and then. When the students have finished their workbooks, then they would be able to get a Bridge Dollar. The computer problems are the usual. Kristina worked will with the 2nd-3rd graders as they struggled through the lesson. By Alexis Medina

5 February 2015 Today we did not follow the lesson plan, instead all of the children watched a movie because of the community meeting.One of the power tools that was used today was the "when" and "then. For example When everyone is quiet then we will play the movie.The students were respectful for the most part during the movie as they were all quiet and followed directions.Most of the computers are really slow and about four or five of them dont work (like they wont turn on). Isnino did well at finding good movies for the kids to watch and to help get everything organized. By: Asiyah Shabazz

4 February 2015 In today's lesson, the participants continued writing letters to their favorite celebrities. The 4th-5th grade students finished their final copies and pasted them on the Wikispace. The K-1st students finished drawing their letters to their favorite celebrities. One power tool used was when...then. "When you are sitting criss-crossed, then you will get a piece of paper." Computer Problems: The two computers closest to the door have mouses that do not work. Dominic did well in giving ideas to the students for their favorite celebrities. By Antonio S

3 February 2015 The lesson today was no issue for the 2nd-5th grade classes; however, it proved to be a challenge for the kindergarten and first grade class. The other two classes were able to write out the rough draft and some started the final copy of their letters for the celebrities, the ones who got to typing either saved their work on the computer or on the blue flash drive. The kindergarten and 1st grade class could nor write proper sentences for their letters so we had them draw out part of it, they may have to rewrite. One power tool that we used consistently today was when and then. We used this with the k-1st class to have them pay attention to the lesson. The computer near the door says that it does not have the proper relationship in order to log into the domain. Dominic worked well with the 2nd and 3rd graders to keep their attention on the lesson By Alexis Medina

February 2, 2014 The lesson was a bit too simple for the 2nd- 5th graders, but Isnino and I were able to extend our introductions in order to make up for the extra time. Also, the kids were supposed to print out two pictures of their chosen celebrity or character and glue it onto a piece of contruction paper, but because of the whole not having a printer and/or only having black ink thing, I will print them tonight and drop them off tomorrow. Other than that, the kids did fairly well today. They knew the obstacles that came with the lesson and worked well around it. Some students during open- lab were calling each other stupid while playing Roblox, but with the help of the Fill the Bag technique, we were able to get them back to their positive selves. Jacqueline was great at doing classroom responsibilities, such as attendance and cleaning. Isnino did well with finding an alternative and more efficient way to save the kids' work onto a flashdrive.

 * We need to figure out a way to be more consistent with doing the Communication Log AND in the format above. Thank you, Isnino, you seem to be the most consistent! When you are covering for a shift, the expectation is that you are still doing the Communication Log for that person. Also, if you fill out the paper one (like Antonio and Dominic) you still need to do this online. What else will help??? **
 * Thank you, **

26 January 2015 The lesson was somewhat of a failure since the website did not work for the lesson so we came up with examples of jobs that the kids could choose as a career and we had the kids write letters for MV since she is leaving Bridge. We used when and then throughout the lessons to have the kids work on one section before moving on. We still have some faulty wires for a couple of computers. Christina was able to teach the lesson really efficiently.

January 22,2015 they completed reading a book about Washington D.C. and entered there sentences on wikispace. when and then: when you guys are ready to listen then I will continue reading the book. I thanked certain people for doing as told and also for following the 4 B's nothing new some computers still don't work. alexis did am amazing job getting the kids to listen to me -by isnino ali

20 January 2015 Today during the lesson, we completed the lesson with all classes; however, we did not have time to upload the pictures to their wikispace pages. Troy supervised the class. We used when and then as well as label with language. Dominic was able to bring the kids under control well. january 15,2015

January 15,2015 The kids watched a movie. when and then:we you guys are quite then, then i will continue talking. I thanked student for using the 4B''s. Its the same problems. jack did an excellent job getting the kids to be quite. -by isnino ali

13 January 13 2015 Lesson plans were finished although not well with the k-1st group. K-1 refused despite all attempts to pay attention. Keeping any attention was extremely difficult and very few students understood the lesson plan despite individual attention and multiple explanations. The majority of the group finished the lesson plan and participated though a large portion of children refused to co-operate with the lesson. used when and then no new computer problems only existing ones. Alexis did well controlling the first two groups of children.

12 January 2015 Today we finished the lesson with all the kids today although the 2-3rd grade group was a bit rowdy and barely finished on time. We used when and then; when you have settled down, then we can move on with the lesson. The computer on the island with the one nearest to the entrance has a faulty mouse that needs replacing Christina did well with taking the attendance and having the kids settle down By Alexis Medina

January 8, 2014 the kids watched a movie. smile and repeat: when you guys are done talking I will repeat the lesson plan. I kept reminding them of the 4 B's. some of the mousses don't work and certain computer shut at the same time at a certain time. jack did an excellent job keeping the kids under control. -isnino ali

January 7, 2015 HAPPY NEW YEAR, Tech Team! Let's get off on a good start and make sure we are completing the communication log daily. One of my New Year's resolution is to make sure I am checking it more often and provide you all with more feedback. :) Please make sure you turn in your grades to Kate tonight and that you make a new schedule with our two new tech teamers.  ~Phuong

January 6, 2015 Daily lesson was completed well had to substitute wikispace with a blank sheet of paper as internet speed was down and didn't function well enough for the lesson when writting sentences related to the 4 b's. When and Then label with laguage internet speed was terrible Alexis did well keeping the children on task by dom.

December 4,2014 they watched a movie. smile and repeat. can someone tell me one power tool. thank you for being proactive. some of the computers restart every like 10 minutes. Kristina did an excellent keeping the kids focused on the movie. By: Isnino Ali

10 December 2014 the lesson today was completed thoroughly without issue apart from not having enough scissors for everybody and the k-1 not being very good at making snowflakes. The computers did not have issues apart from the one near the did which did not read the mouse. We used smile and repeat as our most used power tool throughout the day. Tony read the story to the k-1 class well. By Alexis Medina

2 December 2014 Today the lesson was completed fairly well even though we were having our evaluations and at times the lab was left with only one Tech Team member present at the time, but in the end, it was completed. One power tool that we used during class was smile and repeat. May sit down quietly so that we can continue with the lesson? We have two computers currently with issues. WW16- seems to have a slight driver issue, but will work if you can skip past the disk check. WW14- does not read mouse Dominic was able to work well with the K-1 class while I was doing my evaluation. By Alexis Medina

December 1, 2014 The lesson was successful today even though the kids were a bit rowdy. We had to shorten introductions in order to have more time for the assignment, but the kids knew the expectations and showed that in their behavior. For the most part, everyone seemed extremely positive today, which made the day more productive. We didn't go over the 4 B's for the first class, but it was understood, and they did very well. Antonio was very quick in getting the kids' attention. His technique in lowering the misbehavior in the room was very efficient.

November 20, 2014 Today was a movie day. It was difficult for the students to behave before and after the movie, but once the movie was on they were manageable. The four B's were also went over before the movie was started, but the kid's still had many side conversations after discussing how to be respectful. I honestly had to use STAR a couple of times because the kids were still talking while I was talking. The difficulty was that there was more than one group messing, so it was harder to manage. Dominic was really helpful especially when I needed a moment to calm down before addressing the class again. Written by: Kristina Nguyen

18 November 2014 Today the majority of the kids finished the lesson; however it was done with difficulty. I shall henceforth call today's lesson the nightmare lesson as the pages were all out of order when trying to put it together as a book. Also, almost all the kids had some difficulty or another since they would either constantly run out of things to write about or in the case of the younger kids, they didn't know how to spell many of the words. I used every single power tool today trying to keep the class i order, except STAR There is one computer that says that it does not have the domain rights and has been blocked when logging in (the one nearest the door); however I was able to log into the admin account Isnino was able to manage with the class fairly well as I went to go print off more copies of the booklets for the kids. By Alexis Medina

November 17, 2014 The lesson was completely, but the video was lengthy. This broke into our introductions and review of expectations at the beginning of class. Label with Language: We very specific with instructions The four B"s were constantly reminded throughout class The computers work!! Thank you!!  Alexis did well taking over the first class because I came at 4:12  Written by: Kristina Nguyen

November 6,2014 we didn't do the lesson plan we just did surveys the whole time. smile and repeat. when and then. i tried putting in the password on some of the computer and it didn't work. jacqueline did a great job keep the kids on task and i worked alone.

November 4, 2014 Instead of doing the lesson plan today we worked on completing computer surveys/assessments with all grades. While we worked on the surveys the children not being assessed did freetypinggames.net and had 10-15 minutes of free time at the end of the block. Children behaved well overall there were no trouble makers. PBIS: When and Then same computers that haven't been working for weeks now still aren't working. Alexis managed to complete surveys extremely efficiently. by: Dominic Harris

November 3, 2014 The lesson was successful in all of the classes. The kids were able to stay on task throughout the lesson, earning them around 10 minutes of free time. We still had the occasional talkers and kids who misbehaved, but it was manageable and I am proud of the overall outcome today. We got very few surveys done today, but we set the surveys up so that the kids already have one and just need to fill it out. (A lot more organized.) The kids who weren't following directions were asked continuously if they were being respectful or responsible. When do we get our new printer? I've been using MV's computer for the lessons. Alexis did well doing the surveys while I took over the lesson. With the surveys already done, it shows that he was thorough and precise when having students prove that they knew the concepts asked of them. Written by: Kristina Nguyen

October 30,2015 um...the Promethean board was acting up 99% of the time so the 1st, 2nd, 3rd, and kindergartners didn't do the lesson as successfully as i hoped but the 3rd and 4th grade boys did the lesson successfully and beautifully. power tool: smile and repeat.i smiled and repeated the lesson to those who were not listening. PBIS: when some students stop talking then i will finish talking. Promethean board was acting up as usual and I'm really getting tired of it because it makes the lesson so much harder to do.The rest of the non working computers need to be fixed ASAP!. Jacquelien did an awesome job helping me (thank you) and i worked alone:( by:Isnino Ali

29 October 2014 For the lesson for the 4th-5th graders, we managed to go through it with ease; however, we did change the lesson slightly for the k-1st. Creating a word search and having the kids play the game would have been too difficult for them, so in place of that, we had the kids play a word search that I found on the abcya website. The 4th-5th graders pulled up the website on their computers before they left for their next class so that all the games would have been loaded by the time they got to the computers. They struggled for a bit, but they were able to solve the puzzle at least twice. The power tool that we used was label with language. Once the students have arrived onto the website, they will go to the bottom of the game in the right corner to press 'go'. After that they will click on the small board and click on the computer to play the word search on the computer. As far as computer problems go, we had the same problems as before and we really need the computers to be fixed so that we will have enough computers for everybody. Antonio did an excellent job in directing the little kids though how to do the word search on the computers By Alexis Medina

28 October 2014 Today all three classes were able to finish the lessons; however the 4th-5th class forgot to save their pumpkins onto the computers that they were working on. All three classes were rather rowdy, but they were able to pull it together in the end and direct their focus to the lesson once I told them that there might be a prize at the end of the week for whoever does the best work on the lessons. The power tool that used during the classes was when and then. "When you guys have quieted down, then I can tell you what the prize will be" Dominic was able to teach the k-1st class really well and control the kids. We currently have several computers out of commission as well as one missing tower since the summer, and two computers shut off at random points of time while they were working on them. By Alexis Medina

27 October 2014 Today both classes finished the lesson that was assigned for today with ease. There were no issues with the students throughout the classes for the most part. They were a bit loud at some instances, but they were able to bring it together in the end. The students only received 15 minutes of free time today. The power tool that we used today was when and then: when the students have settled down, then we could continue with dismissing the students to the computers. Isnino worked really well one on one with the second and third graders to help them finish the lesson. By Alexis Medina

October 23, 2014 The lesson was completed with the students that attended class today. The younger kids loved the coloring game on the turtle diary website. (Kudos to Kate for that). Label with Language: We gave clear instructions and had the kids repeat the instructions back too us. Isnino did well advising the younger kids on their coloring lessons, while took care of the older kids. Written: Kristina Nguyen

October 22, 2014 4-5 completed lesson plan without any problems all students worked well. k-1 did surveys and free time as requested by Phuong. We used when and then and smile and repeat. several computers are still not functioning properly. Antonio expressed extreme enthusiasm I was proud of him.

October 16,2014 the kids watched a movie until 6:30. i smiled and repeated the question. more then of the computer were not working during open lab. Kristina did a awesome job getting the kids quiet enough to begin the movie by:Isnino Ali . October 14, 2014 worked: Dominic Alexis Isnino Today we continued with the outer space curriculum which worked well. most children enjoyed working with stories about outer space.for all grades the lesson plan was completed. Every group received some free time and worked fairly well. 4-5 nd K-1st miss behaved slightly but worked well enough overall. when then was used. 4 computers are not functioning for various strange reasons. Alexis did a wonderful job teaching 2nd-3rd graders instructing them well so that they understood the lessson.

October 13, 2014 The lesson was completely and there was little time for playing games and getting "incentives". I give kudos to the kids today for working so patiently with lesson and being so enthusiastic. Even though there was a lot of chatter, the talking was based on the lesson and became a discussion within the class. Label with Language: The kids really understood what they were doing today. The computers are so slow and driving all of us crazy! Alexis showed enthusiasm while reading to the 2nd and 3rd graders, which was so funny to me(: Written by:Kristina Nguyen

October 9, 2014 The lesson was completed, but the 2nd graders did the kindergarten and first grade lesson because of the change in grade division today. Though the lesson was finished the kids were hard to handle. A lot of the fifth grade boys could not stop talking and Gabe doesn't seem motivated to do anything. STAR: Isnino and I had to gather ourselves when things were beginning to be chaotic. Computers are so slow and only half of them are functioning. Isnino was firm with the fourth and fifth graders when they were ignoring my directions. (That was greatly appreciated) Written by:Kristina Nguyen

8 October 2014 In the daily lesson, the 2nd-5th graders completed their lessons. We went over the exterior and interior parts of a computer, and then they were quizzed over it. After that, the children went on their wikispace, and they composed 1 - 3 sentences over what they learned in class. As for the kindergarten and 1st graders, due to their overwhelming amount of energy, we did not go in depth in the lesson as much as we wanted to, but the lesson was completed. One power lesson used was smile and repeat: "Are we ready to continue the lesson?" Computer Problems: there are a lot of computers that still do not function correctly, and some of the computers that do work are not up to date with the latest adobe flash player. Due to certain circumstances, I was working alone with a volunteer. By Antonio

October 7,2014 the lesson was completed successfully and smoothly the Promethean board got overheated for 5 minute and when i turned it back on it was working. power tool:when you stop talking then i will continue the lesson. when one of the students came in late i used the student as an example of one of the 4 B's. no new computer problems only the computers mentioned before. Jacqueline did a very great job getting the kids to settle down and focus on me By:Isnino Ali

October 6, 2014 The lesson was simple and completely finished with the 2nd through 5th grade students. It was difficult to initiate this lesson because of the little computers that we have available. Label with Language:We spent at least 15 to 20 minutes going over PBIS and the instructions for the lesson Alexis was thorough in explaining the agenda for the session. Written by: Kristina Nguyen

October 2,2014 in a daily lesson,the kids m ade a poem about fall. power tool:smile and repeat,i smiled and repeated the instruction again. If people don't follow directions we ask if they are following the 4B'S this shows them how to reflect on their actions. incompatible with the website. she did the best with the kindergartens. by:Isnino Ali

1 October 2014 In the daily lesson, the kids read the Tumblebook "A Home for Pearl Squirrel" as a class for all grades. The second through fifth graders completed their task of writing a certain amount of sentences on the talking squirrel generator about the habitats discussed in "A Home for Pearl Squirrel". The kindergarteners and first graders completed their task of creating a drawing of a habitat based on the habitats in the book on Paint. Power Tool: When everyone is seated, then we will continue. This worked especially effectively with the K-1st graders. Computer Problems: Several computers throughout the computer lab do not work. Currently, four of them do not work. One of the computers on the island that do not work is in an infinite bootloop. Christina performed well in adding enthusiasm in the classroom. By Antonio S

30 September 2014 Today during the lesson, we had the kids finish the poster competition from last week that they started as well as continue with having the kids do the computer surveys. Most of the kids were able to finish their posters from last week; however, not everybody was able to take the survey as they take a long time to do. 1 power tool that we used today was when and then: when the students have finished with the surveys, then they could have free time if their posters are finished. Currently we have 4 computers that do not work and are marked in the computer. Isnino was able to help me in having the students take the surveys in class. By Alexis Medina September 29, 2014 The students found the lesson easy to grasp and manageable. Though it was fairly simple, we were able to thoroughly go over introductions, so that the students wouldn't end with an extensive amount of free time. We also began the tech surveys today, but only got three done overall. Power tool: Focus Forward I give kudos to Alexis today for being able to manage all of the students while I did tech surveys. (They were quite long........) Written by: Kristina Nguyen

September 25, 2014 Today was a movie day. STAR: The kids don't really know how to handle a movie and the middle schoolers were not helping. I had to send a few out for reminding them too many times to be quiet. Isnino did well working with the kindergarten and first grade with Rachel. Written By: Kristina Nguyen

24 September 2014 Today Children created posters for the fire safety poster contest. All grades worked well and did as much as they could. I had trouble motivating Hamza to participate. powertool: When and then The 4 bs were used frequently. We have 2 computers that can't connect to the DU servers. I worked alone By Dominic

23 September 2014 The lesson was completed in a timely manner for all classes throughout the day; however, not all of the students were able to save their work to the wikispaces as many of them did not have one. I have started to fix this issue by redoing the Westwood wikispaces page in it's entirety. I deleted all of the links that were on the page and added the students that were on the roster for all grades, but not all of them have links to their own wikispaces yet, so that should be completed soon. A power tool that was used today was when and then. When all of the students have finished their work, then they can have free time. Apart from the computer that we are still missing in the computer lab, 4 other computers have issues. Dominic did well in teaching the k-1st class by keeping them focused on the lesson. By Alexis Medina

September 22, 2014 The lesson was completely and timing was well managed. We were able to get through the lesson, without having a lot of extra time left. Smile and Repeat: A lot kids had to be reminded of the expectations in the computer lab, but the weren't misbehaving to an extent of frustration and anger. Computer Problems: Many of the computers were locked and couldn't be logged into. We could also use a new printer. Alexis was thorough in teaching the lesson to the 2nd and 3rd graders. Written by: Kristina

September 18,2014 Today, was a movie day. STAR: The kids were really rowdy and would rather talk then focus on the movie. There were also a lot of kids that needed to go to the bathroom. Some students asked more than once or just left the classroom. Isnino and Jaclyn (?) were more than helpful with trying to control the kids, even if it wasn't successful. Written by: Kristina Nguyen

16 September 2014 workes isnino dominic kristina 4-5 worked very well to complete assignment. 2-3 very large group was difficult to keep them focused k-1 worked well but were unable to understand the lesson we had them use paint to try and draw scenarios involving the 4 bs though only one or two drawings were made. dominic awas sick and struggled. Kristina was great. by dominic

24 July, 2014 worked: Isnino Dominic Daniqua(volunteer) k-1: kids finished their posters and presented. 2-3: finished their assignments but didn't present. 4-5: finished assignments ready to present.

middle school: finished their assignments but didn't present. When and then was used computer problems: the entire back-row is suffering from internet loss. The printer says its jammed but isn't and one of the trays refuses to close. one of the island computers seems unable to connect to the du login/server. Isnino did a good job "filling their bags" for students. by:Dominic

23 July 2014 k-1: The class was a bit rowdy, but they were able to finish their posters more or less, they should start presenting next class 2-3: No class 4-5: They still have some more work to do so they can present next week Middle School: No class Power tool: The tool that we used the most today was When and Then: "When you are quiet, then we can continue with the lesson" Computer Problems: Whole back row of the computers do not connect to the internet because of an invalid IP Configuration. One of the computers on the island is still not logging in to the primary domain on the computer. Daniqua was able to quiet down the class really well

22 July 2014 K-1: The K-1 group continued coloring their posters, but they are running out of things to do. 2-3: They were a bit rowdy at first, however when they started the project, they really got into it 4-5: They have a good portion of their presentations completed, Chris and Brian still do not have free time. Middle School: They started on planning their project for the next two weeks. Most have finished their plans for it, however, if they do not have much work done next class due to distractions, then they have to be separated. Power Tool: The tool that we used the most today was When and Then: "When you are quiet, then we can continue with the lesson" Computer Problems: Whole back row of the computers do not connect to the internet because of an invalid IP Configuration. One of the computers on the island is still not logging in to the primary domain on the computer. Antonio was able to handle the K-1 class really well to continue the lesson and quite down the class. By Alexis Medina

17 July 2014 K-1: They worked on their "What Home Means to Me" posters and finished them. 2-3: Worked on the posters and finished. 4-5: Worked on the posters and finished. Middle School: Worked on the posters and finished. Power Tool: Smile and Repeat: "Please sit down" Computer Problems: Whole back row of the computers do not connect to the internet because of an invalid IP Configuration. One of the computers on the island is still not logging in to the primary domain on the computer. Isnino did a good job at aiding the children with their coloring on the poster and with their sentences.

16 July 2014k-1: The kids have finished their letters and they are saved on the flash drive. I placed the flash drive in the black bin in the top compartment 2-3: No class 4-5: The forth and fifth graders should have finished except for Bryan and another student, everybody else should have finished with their letters. If Bryan does not finish his letter by tomorrow, he gets no free time next week at all Middle School: No Class The Power Tool that we used the most today was when and then. When the students have completed the first part of the lesson, then they could proceed to typing the second part. We are still facing problems with the back row of computers with them not connecting to the internet, also one of the computers on the island, the one nearest the back closet door, does not want to log in with the Bridge.lab account and admin. Daniqua was able to teach the first class fairly well after the kids learned that there would be consequences if they misbehave. By Alexis Medina

15 July 2014 K-1: Although some of the letters were not finished, we had all the kids work on drawing their heroes. 2-3: The kids finished at least 2 letters with 4-5 sentences each. 4-5: They typed up their 8-sentence letters on the computers. They should be saved on Documents Middle School: They began typing their letters on Word. Their letters should be saved on Documents as well. Power Tool: Smile and repeat. "Please focus on me" Computer Problems: One computer on the island does not log in with the administrator or Bridge.lab. The back row of computers does not connect with the router because of an invalid IP Configuration. Alexis did a good job at staying calm with the hyper children and teaching as well. By Antonio

July 10,2014 k-1:took a while to present their superhero poster to the class because they wore talking too much and got at least 20 minutes of free time. 2-3:also got done with the lesson plan did a little better with quieting down and letting their classmate present and at least got 10 minutes of free time. 4-5:most of the boys were impatient and kept calling their classmates slow and it took a while to get them to be quite but other than that got the lesson plan done and got 10 or more free time. middle school:talked too much and didn't let antonio get done explaning the lesson plan but got to present their superhero poster to the class and got 10 minutes or more of free time. smile and repeat:they didn't do what i told them to do in the first place so i smiled and repeated what i told them last time. PBIS:I used my voice in a understanding way and clearer then i said it the first time. there is no computer problems the computer that is connected to the promethian board is now up and woking one thing antonio did well was be patient with the kids who were talking too much.....and also explain the lesson in a way group A could understand it by:isnino ali

** k-1:they did great they got done with the lesson plan. **** 4-5:they also did good too and mostly everyone got done with the lesson plan. **** smile and repeat: the kids didn't understand what I was saying so I smiled and repeated it in a better understanding. **
 * July 7,2014 **
 * the computer that is connected to the promethean board is acting up and not working correctly it keeps doing the same thing over and over again **
 * Alexis really kept the kids focusing on the lesson plan. **
 * by:isnino ali **

14 July 2014 K-1: Because the lesson that the kids finished last week was supposed to be for two weeks instead of one, they had to go ahead and start the lesson for the following week. I had the class make a rough draft of a letter to any hero of their choice (including superheros) that was at least sentences before they were allowed to type it on the computer. The majority were able to finish the rough draft, but they would have to work on the same computers in order to reopen their files since we lack a working flash drive to save all of the kids' work 2-3: No class 4-5: Same as the the K-1 class, but they had to write 8 sentences instead of 3 Middle school: No class I used smile and repeat in order to get the unresponsive students to follow direction eventually and to have the kids line up quietly. The computer problems that we are currently facing is that the entire back row of computers are not connecting to the internet. A wire could have been moved or damaged that connected all the computers to the internet, but I was not able to check in its entirety. Isnino was able to teach the K-1 class with very little problems. By Alexis Medina

July 2014 K-1: Today the students glued pictures of their faces on their super hero and wrote a paragraph about their super hero. 4-5: Today half of them started on their "blabberize" and the other half needs to do it because they're just finishing up their super hero pictures and their paragraphs about their super heros. A power tool I used today was focus forward. "Today you guys did well, but let's try to do even better tomorrow." Today Alexis did a great job teaching class. By: Daniqua Perkins

8 July 2014 K-1: The group colored another superhero worksheet while we went around and took pictures of the students to have them ready for the next class 2-3: They worked on completing the superhero job application and coloring their hero. They also have finished taking the pictures to print out. 4-5: The class was able to finish another drawing for the superhero so that they could choose which one they liked best. We also finished taking their pictures Middle School: Most finished with their drawings, but some still had to finish. They also have all of their pictures taken. A power tool that we used today was when and then. When the students finished cleaning up, then they could have free time. The computer problems that we have been facing were that the main computer is still freaking out and we are still missing the computer next to the door. Antonio was able to taking the pictures of all the students even the ones that refused to take a picture. By Alexis Medina 3 July 2014 Each group had a free day today. Power Tool: When...then: "When everyone is tracking the speaker, then we will continue." Computer Problems: We are still missing a tower for one computer. Isnino did a good job at watching over the kids. By Antonio

July 2, 2014 4-5: They finished up their "What I am" PowerPoint and presented them in class. A power tool used was label with language. "when your done drinking water and using the restroom, please walk and line up quietly in front of the computer lab." PBIS strategies we used was going over the 4 B's before and during class time. Alexis did a very good job helping the kids stay on track when they got distraced. By: Daniqua Perkins

1 July 2014 K-1: The group finished the PowerPoint in class. The PowerPoint should be saved on the main computer's desktop 2-3: No Class 4-5: Everyone is either almost finished or finished with their PowerPoint. Middle School: The PowerPoints are finished and should be ready to present tomorrow. Power Tool: When...then: "When everyone is seated and quiet, then we will continue with the lesson" Computer Problems: We are missing one tower and not all the computers are connected to the printer properly. Alexis valiantly charged (metaphorically) into the masses of kindergarten and 1st graders after waves and waves of brutal class time. By Antonio

30 June 2014 K-1: The K-1 group finished with the song as a whole class, it was typed up on the computer and a few kids came up to sing the song for the rest of the class when we had finished it. We could start working on the class power point next class with them. 2-3: No Class 4-5: They all finished with rewriting the song with their lyrics in it and preformed it for the class, and they may commence working on the glogsters/ power points next class Middle School: No class One power tool that I used today was when and then. When the students settled down and payed attention, then we could continue with the lesson. As for computer problems, we have a few, the computer on the island that is closest to the printer restarts for no reason and we are still missing one more computer (the one next to the entrance) and the majority of the computers refuse to cooperate with the printer (they show that they are connected however the printer would not receive the print jobs) and not all the computers have the Bridge.lab login that the students need to use. Isnino was able to pull through with the 4-5 class in order to finish it with a little extra time for the kids to have free time. By Alexis Medina

26 June 2014

Mariamo, Eqra, and a few other students accidentally lost their work for various reasons however monitoring them I can confidently say they were near completion or were at completion when they lost their work. I believe everyone has their animoto video thankfully. K-1: Lesson plan was completed. we went over what they did this week and I had them link the class video into their power points which still remain generic up until this point. 2-3: All students did their work; completed an Animoto video and pasted the link into a powerpoint. 4-5: originally students were meant to use Glogster however the website kept logging students out and didn't want to function properly so I had students make a power point instead. Most finished however some didn't. Middle school: Middle school students worked well enough. They were a little noisy and didn't always want to co-operate. grievances:

recommendations: power tools: when and then, smile and repeat, and label with language. Isnino did an amazing job of fitting in with middle school students; she kept them entertained and helped them feel commensurate to her. by:Dominic Harris
 * The flash drive became corrupt and all saves of work were lost. All power points need to be re-saved. they should all be on the computer desktops 2-3 on each. K-1 have a generic powe point so far so it shouldn't matter too much if their power point was lost.
 * Many of the USB ports on some of the computers are dysfunctional. (potentially what caused the USB flsh drive data corruption-in my intuitive opinion-)
 * Glogster didn't work well at all. The website frequently timed out or logged out students causing them to loose all of their work. Many of the templates didn't work and caused a server connection problem.
 * Isnino wasn't feeling too well today.
 * Back up flash drive data onto the main computer after each set of saves.
 * use lunch time and the end of the day to save student work.
 * Don't give lengthy explanations of the assignment.

25 June 2014 K-1: The lesson was completed properly as it should. The lesson was done all together as a class, they worked together to answer the questions for their superhero and answered the questions from the Super Hero Report. It was not too much for them, if their attention was on the lesson at hand, they were able to finish it with my help in making the video. 2-3: No class today 4-5: They started and finished the animotto video, although some said that they needed to finish up touching some of the things on their videos. Middle School: No class today Power Tools used: Today I used when and then, label with language, smile and repeat, and focus forward in order to maintain group A's attention long enough to finish the lesson since I was working on my own today. I carefully explained the lesson to lessen the confusion amongst the kids as well as smiled and repeated the directions until the students processed the information and followed directions. Focus forward was helpful with the younger kids since some of the kids had a little too much energy in the morning and were distracting the rest of the class.

List of Grievances: List of Recommendations: By Alexis Medina
 * Tech Team members should call in advance to say that they are unable to work as well as find someone to cover their shift.
 * Work must be left organized for the following day for the tech team members to pick up the lesson from where they last left off
 * Two people should be in the computer lab to help with the lesson
 * The work completed should be added to the flash drive (power points, word docs, etc)
 * Thursdays should be used to finalize work and add them to the flash drive
 * The animotto's link should be added to the end of the power points that the students were working on and saving them
 * The following week's lesson should NOT be started on Thursday since it only causes confusion and throws the lesson off for the next week.

24 June 2014 K-1: This lesson was not very suitable for the K-1 class. We filled out a Super Hero Report as a class and even formatted how each slide should look, but nearly everyone needed help with spelling, adding slides, and working their way around PowerPoint. It is too much for them 2-3: The lesson was not as difficult to go through than with K-1, but their energy was still too high from lunch, so not too much work was finished. Some reports were finished and some were unfinished. 4-5: Most of the students did a great job finishing their reports. Reports were finished, and they began to work on their PowerPoints. They should focus on the Animoto presentations next Middle School: The Super Hero reports were finished too quickly. If needed, give them more questions to answer so that the project is not finished too early. Power Tool Used: When and then was used the most. "When everyone is quiet, then we will work on our reports." Computer Problems: One computer in the island is in an infinite bootloop. Oanh's (Group C) finished PowerPoint was on that computer, so I allowed her to partner up with Tien. Printers, although connected to a printer, are not connected to the HP Laserjet 5Si in our lab. My fellow Tech Team Member, Dominic, was able to push through a difficult and unexpectedly unorganized day. List of Grievances:
 * PowerPoints should be over the Super Hero Study, What I am, the cartoon, interview, etc. Check the lesson plan. Because of this misunderstanding, the PowerPoints now only have slides over the Super Hero Study. Considering that we are this far into the week, it would be best to continue this rather than scrap their work
 * Google Safe Search should be turned on in all the browsers.

List of Recommendations: By Antonio and Dominic
 * A network drive should be used instead of a flash drive or the desktop; it will prevent further documents from being lost and should reduce the time with its auto-save feature (Google Drive)
 * Windows 7 Recovery Disc is needed to fix the infinite bootloop computer
 * Connect the printers to HP Laserjet 5Si
 * The kids should clean up and then have free-time; it will give them an incentive to clean up faster and better.

23 June 2104 k-1: Today the kids just used the day to look up superheroes, but proving this to be disastrous, it would be best if they do one as a class next time. Captain America would be easy enough to do and most kids should be able to accept doing the video about him without much protest. 2-3:no class 4-5:The majority finished researching and started a power point, they should be able to start working on the video next class. Students should also work on the same computer that they did today if they want to use the information that they researched today.Chris and Diondone can have no free time this week if given the chance, but they can earn it back if they behave, Diego gets no free time on Tuesday Middle School: no class A power tool that we used was when and then. When the students lowered their voices and listened to the speaker, then I could continue giving the directions for the lesson. Issnino was able to teach the k-1 class well through all the chaos.

June 19, 2014 k-5 had a lot of work to do on their posters therefore we ran out of time and weren't able to save their power points. They had enough time to make the power points though with only one flash drive we were unable to save all of them. Instead we have a single save of the power point they were supposed to make and saved it as "template"; this way next week we can copy and paste it in for them and then save it under their name at the end of class. 6-8th grade had time to customize slides a bit and we were able to save them. The flash drive is in the unfinished work bin. k-1:Finished presenting their posters and making power points. Students worked well though they were distracted at the end of class. 2-3:Finished presenting their posters and making power points. Students were great, worked well. 4-5:Finished presenting their posters and making power points. Students were extremely restless and hard to keep focused. middle school: Students finished presenting posters and setting up their super hero power points. We had time to save each student's power point. Students behaved well though slightly restless at times. Mary brought back the main computer connected to the projector. She has stated that it would be nice if we sent broken computers in to be fixed on a more regular basis so that there is no build up computer problems like their have been. Power tool: smile and repeat. Isnino kept students focused on the task at hand. by: Dominic Harris June 17, 2014 K-1: Today the students finished their posters for internet safety. They also worked on and practiced how they will present tomorrow. 4-5: Today all students finished their posters for internet safety. A PBIS strategy we used were positive acknowledgement slips. One power tool we used today was focus forward. When they got a little chatty at the end I told them let's try again tomorrow. Today Alexis did a good job cleaning the lab. By: Daniqua Perkins

17 June 2014 K-1: These students began working on their posters for internet safety after reviewing the videos. Most of them have finished the posters, and may or may not need to add more to the posters. Their posters should be in the Unfinished bin in Group A. 2-3: These students also began their posters for internet safety after watching the videos. Most of the posters were finished and may or may not need more detail. 4-5: The students reviewed the digital citizenship videos and began to work on their posters. Most of the class finished. Middle School: These students watched the digital citizenship videos and began to work on their posters. It appears that some more time may be necessary to finish these posters. I allowed the students to review the videos for ideas, but I did not allow them to use the same words unless they could define what those words meant or put it in their own words. 1 Power Tool used was When...then. In example, when Group A was making a lot of noise, I repeated "When everyone is quiet, then we will go to snack" Computer Problems: We are missing a couple of towers, more importantly the main tower that connects to the board. Some of the printers are still not connected well with the computers (error message). My fellow tech team member Dominic did well with instructing Group A (K-1), who had trouble understanding the instructions. By Antonio S

16 June 2014 K-1: Today we had the kids go over the scenarios as a group, we watched the internet safety video around a computer, and we had the kids introduce themselves since many are new. We also went over the lab expectations. They should start on their posters next class. 2-3: No group today 4-5: The kids went over the the scenarios in small groups and they presented to the class why the scenarios were good or bad. They also saw the videos of digital citizenship and talked about what they learned. We also went over the class expectations explained the project that they will be doing this week; however, they did not start due to lack of supplies. Middle School: No group. I recommend to split the students into groups of 4 One of the power tools that we used was smile and repeat. When the class did not understand the scenarios, we repeated them again slowly so that they heard them correctly. Isnino was able to take control of the class well with the younger kids Computer Problems:We are missing two computers and the computers were not connected to the printer, but I connected them all. Also, there is a new method to log into the computer. If the computer does not give you the option for a Bridge.lab option then you have to switch the user and manually enter it, similar to the administrator log in. The password is still Bridge12 By Alexis Medina

29 January 2015 Nothing was really complicated today. everything was very self explanatory to the tech team and to the student's. One of the power tool we used was repeating ourselves when kids did not have a clue of what we were talking about concerning the lesson plane. One of the PBS we used was being polite and using the word, "please". when kids got a little louder and out of control, we used nice and respectful words to tell them to stop. . We didn't have any computers problems, but three of the computers are not working, But overall the computers are working pretty well. *Isnino helped out a lot. She helped around the class room and kept the kids under control, and helped students who were having a hard time getting to a specific website. By Jacqueline Samuel

5 March,2015 The kids did an extraordinary job. they finished the lesson plan and everything. Beside from that the K-1 did not at all know how to do the worksheet, it was so hard for them and half of them do not know how to write. on the other hand the 2-5th know what to and they understood what they were really doing. The behavior was not bad, they were handle right away. everything was under control. Some of the computers are not working, its either the mouse or the keyboard, and some just freeze at times. regardless of some ups and downs everything was done in a timely manner. By: Jacqueline Samuel

April 9,2015 Today was a fabulous day. The children knew what they were suppose to do. The lesson was self explanatory to the big kids and somewhat to the small ones. Kids were polite to each other and they knew all the four B's. Tech team member asked the kids nicely to settle down when they were being a little bit loud and rude to each other.Some difficulties we had was some of the computers were frozen when kids were doing there work and being proactive. My fellow tech team member did an extraordinary job by handling her job and explaining what to do with the kids. By jacqueline
