First Day of School

Welcome to our grade 8 class blog.
I am happy to report that we had a great first day at school today. We had a number of activities that allowed me to see how the students worked independently and as part of a group. I have sent home a newsletter with a contract that needs to be signed by both the parents and the students for our classroom behaviour. In class today we listed how we would show respect in the classroom. The students also got their first little homework assignment - complete their coat of arms (in colour). This coat of arms will go with their picture in front of our classroom until after Open House night.
Over all a very good day and it was a pleasure to meet everyone...now the real work begins tomorrow :)
