In Language Arts today the students spent time reviewing our team syllabus as well as the specific suggested supplies for Language Arts. The students were also sent home with a syllabus slip and movie permission slip which need to be signed and returned no later than Tuesday, September 4th. I have attached all of the materials that were given out in class today to this blog post.
We also continued to get to know one another during class by playing a modified version of Silent Seat Ball. The students threw a ball with questions around the classroom and wherever their thumb landed, they answered that question about themselves.
Tomorrow the students will be signing up for a communication system called Remind 101. I will use this tool throughout the year to send text message reminders of important things going on in class or at school. For this reason, I did ask the students to bring their phones to class tomorrow. For students who are not allowed to bring their phones to class, I have printed out directions so this task can be done at home by families.
Remember, tomorrow is Team Building Day so please wear something comfortable since we will spend a lot of the afternoon outside.
Have a wonderful Wednesday!
