Wow! What a great start to the 2015/2016 school year grade 7/8's! I really enjoyed meeting you all today and starting to get to know each of you. Thank you for being so respectful during our two assemblies today! You are the leaders of the school, remember to exemplify role model behaviour- little eyes are watching and doing and saying what you do!
Today we:
-played an icebreaker to "break the ice" and learn more about our classmates
-had 2 assemblies (school-wide and 6/7/8)
-we reviewed school policies and procedures and heard how we can GET INVOLVED this year!
-formed our own classroom expectations and watched a couple of short videos for inspiration:
Minion RULES video #1
Minion RULES video #2 with music
-watched a RESPECT YOUTUBE video- because respect is an all encompassing rule- you've got to give it to get it, it's a two-way street:

-had a very short French period as the 2nd assembly was during most of French
-started and some completed a self-survey so I can get to know everyone- looking forward to reading, due for homework if not completed during class time today
-started graffiti hip hop name cards- so I can learn your names, so supply teachers can learn your names, and because they look awesome. We have some artists in the room I can tell already!
-watched a pep talk video from Kid President:

-watched "How to Change the World (a work in progress)" from Kid President:
How to Change the World- Kid President
-had our first computer lab session where we checked out this blog, and signed-up for individual Edmodo accounts, your parents/guardians can get a parent account too. Parents/guardians please read this parent letter pertaining to Edmodo- your child can request a hard copy from me if they wish: Edmodo parent letter
-and of course had nutrition breaks and fitness breaks!
See you all tomorrow! :)
