Mandated Reporter

I have this one student who who, everyday after I say "Hi", says, "Can I just go to the office?"  I always tell him to take a seat and then try to teach him something.  He talks a lot during class but does not usually cause any serious problems.  Today was different.  Today when I told him to take his seat he turned to the rest of the class and said "My mother raped me."  So, I walked him out of the class room and had him sit outside the room until the assistant principal came by to get him. He was picked up by a sheriff's deputy.  I don't know where they took him.  After school I called DCSS and faxed in the report.  I feel sorry for the boy's parents if it isn't a true accusation.

Lesson helps from Cal Academy

While searching for lesson plan ideas (Because my district doesn't have NGSS compliant textbooks or other materials) I came across this from the California Academy of Sciences  in San Francisco. It looks like something I can cobble together with some other stuff and have some good lessons.

A Cool NGSS Resource

The Concord Consortium has this interesting website that provides computer simulations/models for scientific concepts.  The student can select a practice, a core idea, and a crosscutting concept then the website provides several models to play with.   At least, that's what I thought it did. I selected as follows Practice: analyzing data Core idea; Earth and space science Cross cutting concept: energy The website gave me a whole bunch of different simulations but it also gave me a really cool real-world experiment on evaporative cooling .  Since this week is college and career week at my school I think I'll do this with my class and talk about skipping college and working as an HVAC technician instead.
