Med Occs Motto

"For learning to take place with any kind of efficiency, students must be motivated. To be motivated, they must become interested. They become interested when they are actively working on projects which they can relate to their values and goals in life." - Gus Tuberville

Cats and Dogs...

It sure is RAINING, please DRIVE SAFE!



FOR WEDNESDAY - IMPORTANT

  • Be ready to present your patient ed project if you have not already gone.  Sam & Cinthia - can we do this during ASE on Wednesday? I think so! Please let me know
  • QUIZ - I have just finished grading the quizzes :( - Ouch! Some are not so good.  You will have an opportunity for test corrections, but it is looking as though some of you are not checking the blog. You MUST be checking it! (But I guess if you are reading this, you already are! LOL! So please pass the word to your classmates to pick up the MT vocab!
  • Timesheets are once again due! Make sure to completely fill out.  If you forget to total or tally the daily hours column in the correct place I will take 5 points off! 
  • I will be collecting/checking off AM goals and returning PM goals.  Did you not have yours last week? If so they MUST be turned in Wednesday - no exceptions!


MED OCC HOLIDAY CARDS
Just wanted to remind you all that I am merely encouraging you to bake some goodies for your site, to bring with our Med Occ Holiday card.  This is not a requirement but a nice gesture.  I realize that money is very tight in many households so please do not feel pressured.  A card from our Med Occs class will certainly suffice, but if you want to go above and beyond then I would definitely encourage it as it will not hurt!

DONORSCHOOSE
We just received $2750 for our donors choose project! WooHoo! If your parent or someone you know works for a corporation that matches fund please pass our donors choose info on to them so we can get some much needed and great technology for our classroom!  DonorsChoose info is a link on the right hand side of our blog!

CONGRATULATIONS
*Have you been accepted and have decided on your college of choice? If so let me know so I can congratulate you and we can post in our classroom!

DAILY BLOG THOUGHT

Have you ever had to work with someone (either partnered in the classroom) or at a job site that just was difficult to work with?

How did you handle it?  What tools did you use to cope with a difficult co-worker or partner?
We will discuss this further on Wednesday.


HOMEWORK
Please make sure you have made an appointment with your supervisor to set up a time to go over your goals for the month of December. Remember this is something both you and your supervisor should discuss and agree on.  It is IMPORTANT to communicate what you want to learn to your immediate supervisor.  For example, say I really want to learn how to properly chart or sterilize equipment, let your supervisor know.  It may not happen this month but hopefully you can work up to it.  The month of December is all about your site supervisor learning to trust you and feel comfortable with you!
