HW: Course outlines signed, letters home
RJ 1.1 School Trip p. 1 - 27

Welcome to our first class blog! Way back on Monday, the first day of school, my fifth period class came in at the end of lunch. They found their way into seats at tables around the room, and we were ready to get started. 

The first thing we did was introduce ourselves. I introduced myself, and each student introduced themselves.

Next, I passed out the course outline, and we talked about materials, grading, homework, and rules. Students signed their understanding, and we moved on to the course syllabus. 

Each table did popcorn reading of the units we will study fall and spring semester. 



The last paper I handed out was my first day letter. I started to read that, but then class was over for the first day. 

On the second day... 

We took a minute to do box breathing, and then we named our blog. 

After that, I collected course outlines and although most everyone had them, a few were missing. 

We moved on to first day letters which was our first writers workshop. Students settled in to writing their letters to me, and I passed out copies of books for students to take home. 

That was it for the first two days. Such a good start to the year, y'all. We got this.

  AGENDA Take a minute Blog corrections Week 17: G-Q-Q-L Poetry Submissions HW: Poetry Submissions due Friday 5/9! RJ 17.2 read toward your IRP! 30 iReady lessons ---------------------------------------------------------------------- We started off the class by taking a minute. Then, we read the blog and me and Lanaja were chosen to do the one you're reading, basically by default. After the blog, we moved on to our week 17 question. Our question this week was: Who do you look to for understanding the difference between right and wrong? Lanaja wanted to share her response. It was God and Dr. J (pastor's wife). We all know one of those. Once we discussed the question, and our morality, we moved on to our poetry submissions. We worked on our poetry submissions for the rest of class. Finally, the bell rang, we packed up for class, and left to our next period. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------...
