To increase collaboration this year, my blog will be updated via Edmodo. Thank you.

Good afternoon! If  you have brought back the two required documents with parent signatures (to homeroom) you received your locker today.
You will get your syllabus and Edmodo sign up information tomorrow.
There is no homework tonight. See you tomorrow!

Lockers will be issued tomorrow morning for students who have brought back their Receipt of Parent Information and Edmodo forms.
I will be distributing Edmodo information to sign up for our class later this week. Once Edmodo is up and running, I will not be updating this blog.
There is no homework tonight except to get your supplies. See the previous post for details.
Your syllabus is forthcoming. I will distribute it on Wednesday.

You survived your first day of middle school!
Until we get Edmodo up and running for your classes, I will be updating this blog regularly. You will take home a letter tomorrow about Edmodo and all of the advantages it has over a traditional blog.
We did a variety of activities today including Canned Soup Economics Intros, mini-time capsules, painting the BIG PICTURE, and finally a  sticky note "doing" shirt.
Don't worry about having your supplies until next week (after the sales tax holiday this weekend). We will go over what you need in class tomorrow.
Homework: By Friday complete your  your "All About You" sheet. A parent signature is required on the "All About You' sheet.
First period, please complete your SS Interest Inventory. I made the wrong number of copies on accident and will have to give these to 4th & 5th periods tomorrow.
