2010/2011 School Year

Here we go everybody! The 2010/2011 school year has begun. It was great working with everyone of you today. I was very impressed with the work you did around creating community agreements. I noticed students thinking, listening to others, and negotiating respectfully.  The three community agreements that we came up with were:
  • Keep a Positive Attitude.
  • Take Risks in Your Learning.
  • Respect Your Surrounding
The next stage in this process will be for two representatives from our class to meet with representatives from the seventh and eighth grades, decide on the final three community agreements.

Homework:
Reading; ongoing. Students should read for 30 minutes five days a week. Remember to fill out your reading log.

Cultural Studies; due Wednesday, September 8th. All students should finish their spider identity charts.
