First Day of School

We had a great first day today. I have an awesome class and am looking forward to a great year. We spent a good part of the day getting organized and reviewing expectations. One of the students asked me to post the different sections that should be in each binder on the blog so the can label the sections at home. So here it is!

Reading/Writing Binder Homework/Tests and Quizzes/Handouts and Grammar/Drafts
Most reading work will be done in the notebook that I gave you which should be kept in or with this binder.

History Binder Notes/Tests and Quizzes/Projects (DAR and History Day)/Homework

Science Binder Homework/Outlines/Dictionary/Quizzes and Tests/Class Notes/Lab Experiments/Research Paper

Since I do not have all of you for Math, Foreign Language or Wordly Wise you should check with your teacher for that class and ask them how they expect your binder to be set up.

We have also scheduled all of the quizzes on your summer reading and we will be seeing some movie versions of those books/plays as well. The dates are as follows:

Friday 9/11 Quiz on The Elephant Man/Movie will be shown during elective time that day.

Tuesday 9/15 Quiz on Les Miserables or The Pearl

Wednesday 9/16 Movie on Les Miserables or The Pearl

Friday 9/18 Quiz on How Angel Peterson Got His Name

Thanks everyone for a great first day!
