Welcome to the first two days of school. Yesterday (8/9/12) we discussed class procedure, school rules, and schedules. Students did not receive homework, but they did receive brochures for my classroom. Along with the brochure was a blue paper that needs to be signed (and add any emails that you want included in the online grade book registry). Thank you for all the students/parents who returned these right away. My 7th grade had 100% of the papers returned signed - yay!!!
8/10/12
English 8th:
We discussed the grading system and class makeup of 8th grade English (how it differs from 7th). Students wrote in their journals, and several read them to the class. No homework over the weekend.
Geography 7th:
We spent the majority of the class getting to know each other with a fun activity. Students started a geography graphic organizer detailing places they would like to visit in the world. This activity is not homework - we will continue it on Monday (they may certainly work on it over the weekend - complete sentences please). No homework over the weekend.
English 7th:
We spent the majority of the class getting to know each other with a fun activity. Students started a graphic organizer desribing themselves with interesting adjectives. They used a thesaurus to "upgrade" their adjectives and be more descriptive. This activity is not homework - we will continue it on Monday (they may certainly work on it over the weekend). No homework over the weekend.
