First day letter - Blog name

HW: Return C.O./A.U.P./E.C.

It was the first day of school at Emerson! It was finally sixth period and as students made their way into the room, they found seats based on the letter I assigned. Then, I passed out binder reminders and students labeled them and wrote down the agenda. 

After that, we went over the contents of the Welcome Packets with all of the forms that needed to be returned. We also saw reminders about the uniform and phone policy (along with a new "don't order food" policy). 

With that school business out of the way, I passed out the Course Outline, and we went over that this was everyone's last first day of middle school. We talked about making sure you have space and quiet to get school work done. 

We proceeded through the Course Outline and reviewed materials needed for class. We talked a little about equitable grading and expectations for work habits and cooperation. 

The fire alarm went off, again (it also went off in second period). We made our way out to the field and then came back. 

After the simple rules for the class, we took a quick look at the syllabus before naming our blog: "Shadow Wizard Money Gang."  

Everyone put their chairs up and left school for the day! Welcome back, Class of 2024! It's going to be a good year.
