Students,
Today we talked about my classroom expectations, and we also spent time talking about the CHAMPS system.
1. We addressed the fact that you should not be tardy, and the procedure of signing in on the clip board if you are.
2. We wrote in and discussed the procedures for our daily geojournal. We enter the room grab our journals from the appropriate box and begin working on the topic that will frame the days discussion.
3. You as students heard in everyone of your classes today about RED, YELLOW, and GREEN champs and what they mean for classroom assignments. For parents (red = silent individual work) (yellow = partner work) and finally (green = group work).
4. we discussed how grades will be determined with:
daily grades = 50%
major grades = 50%
5. We also took a quiz asking for information on major oceans and continents. Overall you performed well and should be commended.
As a general reminder to all students who do not yet have their composition notebooks, or their 3-subject notebooks, please have them available and ready to use by next week.
Today was a fantastic day, and tomorrow we finally get to dive into World Geography proper, so if you would like to get a head start you can review latitude and longitude lines and what they are used for by mankind. Here is a hint, tomorrow and Friday's theme will be location.
Homework:
3rd, 5th, 6th, 7th: Don't forget to show your parents your AP contracts to get signed and returned to me.
