Today, in class, we:
Greeted students at the door using the threshold technique.
Watched and discussed CNN10.
Looked at tangleworld.org and the course syllabus.
Conducted the sacred naming ceremony (see picture).
Formatted the interactive notebook by:
- Numbering every side of every page.
- Creating a title page on page 1
- Adding a security feature
- Creating the IB to HISD Scale on page 2 (see below).
- Creating the Table of Contents on page 4 (see below).
Used Call and Response, Whiparound, Modified Whip Around and Timed Pair Share and Response Cards during our lesson.
Handed out HW 1.1 - Parent Sign-off. This is due next class (see below).
Went outside to "the gator" under the giant oak. Students crossed over the gators' back towards the school, pausing to place their expectations for their 9th grade self in the Gator's mouth, before crossing towards Tanglewood and their middle school experience (see picture).
