Log into Typing club.
3. School Newspaper - this is a chance for you to share what you are learning in all of your classes. It's a paper for the students, about the students and by the students! This was started in 2015 and gets shared on the Oscoda School website and Facebook page. I also print them super big and post them near the office for everyone to see.

- Always carry the robot with 2 hands. One hand on the top and one on the bottom.
- Plug and unplug cords gently. Never yank them out of the robot or computer.
- Take turns when using the robot. Don't grab if from someone, wait for it to be handed to you or set down on a table first.

FRIDAY - MORE ROBOT PROGRAMMING
I can disassemble my robot and put the pieces away where they belong.

2. Today you are going to take your robot apart very carefully. Placing the pieces as you remove them into the correct sections of the red storage bin. The batteries or battery pack do not need to be removed. Do not force pieces apart. If you need a tool to help you, there are pliers at my desk. Use another axel to push difficult pieces out of holes.
