Today we read Mary Oliver's The Journey. We talked about the journey we are going to take this year in our growth as readers and writers. My goal this year is to help all students find their true inner voice. Our work from here on in will be reflective of the different paths one can take to reach this goal.
I reviewed my expectations with both 7th and 8th graders, passed out the course syllabus, the parent letter and the parent/student contract. Students generated a list of expectations they have for me and Ms. Black (my co-teacher this year) and brainstormed a list of rules they would like for our class.
HOMEWORK: Please bring back the Parent/Student contract signed by both parties. Due Friday, August 15th.
