Back to School...
Our status is back to school and progressing well. We have worked on getting our materials organized and setting up our routines as well as our structure in order to increase effectiveness throughout the semester. Our notebooks are put together and we are doing our daily journaling. Tomorrow we will begin our first reading of The Most Dangerous Game and start our first Vocabulary unit.
We have discussed some of the issues the freshmen are having and they seem most bothered by the overcrowding they are experiencing in the hallways and across campus. The transition from an outdoor campus to interior hallways packs the students in tightly but as people get adjusted to the routine the paths will be more direct and the passageways will open up. The anxieties of the move to high school are slowly falling away as the students become more accustomed to the campus, their teachers, and the coursework.
I encourage you to check back often and see all the things going on in class and check out the homework on the classroom calendar. Being in the know is a sure way of ensuring success.
