1-31-2008 (B Day) Happenings

I welcomed students, took attendance and reviewed the seating chart. I checked for supplies, RIF material and collected the Student Information and Parent/Guardian Sheet. I handed out the Journal Guidelines and discussed the expectations for journal writing. Students then completed a journal and paired-and-shared their writing. We reviewed the Content Reading Strategies. I assigned individual students a computer and students logged in. I introduced blogs with a short video called Blogs in Plain English. I handed out Blogging Basics, reviewed the sheet and students signed the Confirmation of Mr. Buckley's LRT Blog Guidelines, Expectations and Policies. We then set up a new LRT Blogger account for each student.
