Week 1: First Week of School

The first week of school has been great so far, and we've already hit the ground running.

We've reviewed the handbook!
We've already received two homework grades!
One participation grade and one classwork grade!
And today we began our first project grade!

The project is to motivate people to read! They could create a poster, write a song/rap, or write a poem dealing with motivating students to read. They watched a music video doing the exact same thing in class, and they saw several posters hanging in the classroom as examples.

If they do not finish them in class, they can bring them home to work on. Tomorrow when they come to class they will present their projects. They are being graded on creativity, presentation, and following directions.

Also tomorrow, students will participate in a school PBIS Kick Off Pep Rally in the afternoon, so make sure you ask them all about what they learned in it!
