3. How am I getting home? Schedules Lunch numbers Yearbook forms
Preliminary Agendas
Other paper, lots of it

4. Entering the Classroom
Walk into the room quietly
Go to your assigned seat
Sharpen your pencil, if necessary
Begin your warm-up

9. What is “Text?”
What is Literacy?

10. Personal Reading History
Think about some key moments or events in your development as a reader. Using 2 sticky notes, jot down answers to the following questions:
What reading experiences stand out for you? High points? Low points?
What were there times when your reading experience or the materials you were reading made you feel like an insider? Like an outsider?

11. What kinds of things do we report as either hindering or supporting our development as readers?
On one side of your index card, write down some Red Lights to reading…these are things that make it difficult to improve reading and learn through reading different texts.
Under the Red light section, write down some Green Lights to reading…these are things that make it difficult to improve reading and learn through reading different texts.
Teacher text sharing

12. Norm something that is usual, typical or standard
Part 1:
Divide the other side of your index card in half
Safe:
List things that make you feel safe participating or sharing in class
Unsafe:
List things that make you feel unsafe participating and sharing in the classroom
Part 2:
What are some Norms we should establish that will guide how we work, interact, and share in class?

13. Scientific Method review & Norm practice!!
Observations and resulting questions
Research
Hypothesis if/then/because
Experiment
Conclusions and next steps
What makes a good observation?

14. Observations We combined the two things and it bubbled for a while
It got foamy
Immediately after the two substances were mixed, gas bubbles were produced. They were the size of 7up bubbles. The bubbles/foaming traveled up most of the length of the test tube and then subsided after 30 seconds. The temperature of the mixture also decreased (the test tube felt very cold)

15. Mooooo-ving Milk You will be completing the lab with your seat partner
Make sure your observations are COMPLETE…recording one observation does not mean you are done!
Silently read through the directions on the yellow paper

17. The Chemistry of Milk and Dish Detergent
Milk is mostly water, but it also contains vitamins, minerals, proteins, and tiny droplets of fat suspended in solution. Fats and proteins are sensitive to changes in the surrounding solution (the milk.)
The secret of the bursting colors is the chemistry of that tiny drop of soap. Dish soap, because of its bipolar characteristics (non-polar on one end and polar on the other), weakens the chemical bonds that hold the proteins and fats in solution. The soap’s polar, or hydrophilic (water-loving), end dissolves in water, and its hydrophobic (water-fearing) end attaches to a fat globule in the milk. This is when the fun begins.
The molecules of fat bend, roll, twist, and contort in all directions as the soap molecules race around to join up with the fat molecules. During all of this fat molecule gymnastics, the food coloring molecules are bumped and shoved everywhere, providing an easy way to observe all the invisible activity. As the soap becomes evenly mixed with the milk, the action slow down and eventually stops.

19. Clean up
Send one person to the sink with your petri dish. Wash and rinse, set aside to dry.
Make sure your desk area is clean and all materials are as you found them
LAB RATS:
Circulate and refill the lab bins
Check for clean areas

20. Exit Ticket
Write a brief conclusion of the milk lab retest. Make sure you reference the hypothesis and cite at least one piece of evidence from your observations.
Reflect on the classroom norms we began to establish. Which one will make the biggest difference in how comfortable you are in participating & sharing in class? Why?
