Monday August 31st - Getting into the swing of things!!!

Today we had our first set of daily questions.  This will become a routine for you guys.  Each day you will come to class and a set of daily questions (DQs) will be on the board.  You will write these out in the DAILY QUESTION SECTION of your 3 Ring Binder.  At this point you will generally be looking at what we did the day before OR this is a way to see what you ALREADY know about a section.  You will receive 1 point a day for doing your daily questions.  At the end of each week we will have our "DQ2" - Daily Question Quiz - This is a quiz based off of the daily questions for that week (It is NOT an open notes quiz!!!)

Here were today's Daily Questions:

I then showed you a "Movie Trailer" of sort that introduced the first unit:

Today I had you sign up to my "Remind" Account.  The instructions for that are here:

This will allow me to send out "Reminders" about assignments, quizzes, tests, etc (or just Random notes of encouragement!)

We then did a little bit of an interesting.... and maybe odd activity.  You wrote a letter to yourself.  This letter was to include the following things:

You sealed it up and I will give it BACK to you on one of the last days that I see you.  I think it will be interesting for you to see how you have changed over the course of the year!!!

Tomorrow you have a half day (YAY YOU!!!) and I will have you fill out a form online that gives me a little more information about you!!
