Welcome Back!

Here is a recap of what we did today in class.

Agenda/Objective

1. Do Now Instructions: I gave the class instructions for how to complete the Do Now.
   
2. Chain of Events Chart: The Do Now was to fill in a Chain of Events chart to explain what you did during Winter Break.
   
3. Wrap Around: Everyone took a turn an explained two of the six things they wrote in their chart.

Classroom Essentials

In this class, students will ALWAYS need a few things (even if we do not use them everyday).

1. A respectful attitude and a willingness to learn.
2. Timeliness which means, get to class on time!
3. 1 spiral bound, college ruled notebook.
4. 2 pens (just in case one runs out).
   
5. 1 Gluestick.

The appropriate procedure for walking into class is as follows:

1. Come in quietly.
2. Sit down and take out your notebook.
3. Begin working on the "Do Now" assignment which will be posted on the wall.

These things must happen for the class to run smoothly. They are essential. Thank you very much.
