8/12/13 - First Day of School!

English 8:  Students were given school handbooks, calendars, and a parental signature sheet (stating the parent has read the handbook).  We went over most of the handbook in class, but will continue this tomorrow.  In addition, students received a brochure for my classroom, as well as a signature sheet. Please add any emails that should be attached to the grade book on the signature sheet for my classroom. We specifically discussed differences between 7th and 8th grade English as well as changes to the AR program.   Homework:  handbook sheet signed - brochure sheet signed/emails added

Geography 7: Students received a brochure for my classroom, as well as a signature sheet. Please add any emails that should be attached to the grade book on the signature sheet for my classroom.  We discussed classroom rules, went into detail on how AR will work in 7th grade, and took at a look at my blog for reference.  Homework:   brochure sheet signed/emails added

English 7: We discussed English 7, classroom rules, and then wrote an "English Contract" that will need to be signed by a parent.  The signed contract will be worth a participation grade in the writing category of the grade book.  This also functions as an initial writing sample showing ability to correctly write dictated language in cursive.      Homework:   signed English Contract
