1-29-2008 (B Day) Happenings

I welcomed the new students to second semester and introduced myself as a Packer fan. We watched a clip from Sesame Street called "First Day of School History" and compared that to school and technology in today's world. I took attendance. Students were instructed to go to the front of the room and I randomly created a seating chart (alternating boy-girl). Students filled out the seating chart. Students were given a note card and filled out their name, class, team (by science teacher), favorite class, sports team, book, TV show and movie. I handed out the LRT Course Outline. Students read the course outline and I highlighted some important information. Students signed the Confirmation of Mr. Buckley's LRT-Buckley Guidelines, Expectations & Policies. I handed out the Semester 2 Packer Pass and explained how students could earn extra credit. Students received the February LRT Calendar detailing what we will be doing for the first 5 weeks of LRT. I handed out the Student Information Sheet and Parent/Guardian Sheet. We watched a video called Did You Know? Students then paired and shared their thoughts about the video. I offered some comments and students recorded the homework in their planner. Any remaining time was spent filling out the Student Information Sheet and Parent/Guardian Sheet.
