It has been a pleasure getting to know all of my new students. Each group is settling in to our classroom routines. All of our work so far has focused on getting to know each other, building a safe learning community, and helping students develop self awareness:
• We used extended name tags to get to know each other.
- We talked about and practiced good listening and speaking behaviors while we shared some of our summer books.
- We each rated one of the books we read over the summer.
- We explored the High Rock Effort Rubric and talked about how it would guide our work and our grades in this class.
- Students completed a "Getting to Know You" survey.
Check out two important documents posted under "Resources:"
- Effort Rubric
- Syllabus
