Today's Quote:


Recap:

Yesterday we eased the ship out of the dock and went over our syllabus and some class procedures. Students learned about some of the techniques we'll use this year to "up the game" in learning by focusing on how they learn.Students reviewed the Big Three, and expectations such as dress code, being on time to class, and treating others the way they want to be treated. We went over following directions and realized sometimes, we don't always read them all thoroughly before leaping in on a task and we learned the proper way to enter the classroom and prepare for class. 

I pointed out that I would slowly be releasing some of the class management responsibilities to the leadership cadre so they can gain valuable experience. Several students asked about how they might earn responsibilities and the answer was, "Work toward being a leader." We also had a discussion about peer pressure and whether it can be both positive and negative. (It can be both)
