EAGLE CAFE
Eagle Cafe is a "mandatory opportunity" for students who do not have their homework assignment completed and in the classroom to hand in to their teacher at the time it is collected. Eagle Cafe is held during a student's Lunch/Home Base time, which is an hour block of time in the middle of the student's day.
Purpose of Eagle Cafe: To ensure students are completing the needed practice to reinforce their learning and provide time for students to complete the assignment if they did not do so. To reinforce the responsibility of time management, self-management, and organization needed to complete assignments in a timely manner and have them ready to turn in to the teacher when asked.
Process:
When a student does not have a homework assignment completed the FIRST time for a class:
1. The student will be informed he/she will be assigned to the Eagle Cafe the following school day.
2. The student will receive a pass the class period before he/she is expected to be at Eagle Cafe.
3. The student will be allowed to leave a few minutes early to get lunch, then go to the room assigned for Eagle Cafe.
4. The student is expected to take the materials/books needed to complete the assignment during the Eagle Cafe or to take a book or other work, as needed.
5. The student will turn the completed assignment in to the supervisor of the Cafe when leaving. The supervisor will give the work to the appropriate teacher.
IF the student does not have the assignment completed, they will return to the Eagle Cafe until the assignment is completed.
When a student does not have a homework assignment completed a SECOND time for a class:
1. Eagle Cafe is assigned.
2. The teacher will inform the student that they have a 30-minute detention after school with that teacher.
3. A phone call will be made to the parent to arrange for the detention at the first night possible (preferably that day or the next day).
When a student does not have a homework assignment completed a THIRD or more time for a class:
1. The teacher will write up a formal discipline referral to the main office and the student will see Mr. Harrington or Mrs. Hofmann for problem solving and consequences.
2. Parents will be called.

ReplyDelete'Coming of age' means that you are growing in your personality and wisdom. One example of 'coming of age' for Charlotte is when Charlotte starts to read the Bible to the crew because it shows that she is getting closer to them. Another example of 'coming of age' for Charlotte is when she takes the clothing from Zachariah because it shows that she is getting comfortable on the ship and she is changing. Charlotte changes by getting along with the crew but also staying in touch with her previous life by having tea with Captain Jaggery.
The 'coming of age' means when you enter a part of you life where you are able to look at people and yours and others belonings in a different way. You are also able to handle problems and opinions with wisdom and respect that has growen into your personality. In this book Charlotte shows this by doing little but helpful things for the crew. An example of this would be where she sets some time aside to read to the crew from her bible. By doing this she notices how it calms them and how they are being over worked. So she goes to captain Jaggery and asks if its very nessecary, in this process even though she might not know it she stands up for them. By doing these little things she shows respect for the crew and could possibly gain the trust of the crew in the future and if anyone were to turn on her no matter what she would have someone on her side.
ReplyDeleteComing of age is when you learn about life and grow through events that take place within your life.Charlotte expierianceing this in a way because she is no longer a snooty proper girl who sees only wealth and class.She understands that what is in the heart really matters.
