2-12-2008 (B Day) Happenings

I welcomed students and took attendance. I checked for supplies and collected any outstanding Student Information and Parent/Guardian Sheets. I handed out an updated Calendar for the remainder of February. I also handed out Mr. Buckley's LRT Class sheet to be given to parents. This sheet explained much of what we do in LRT and encouraged parents to follow LRT class by checking our blog. I also demonstrated how to complete the blog entry Parent Signature. I explained the FBI-Safe Online Surfing (SOS) Internet Challenge. Students went to www.fbi-sos.org and registered for the challenge. I collected their registration sheets. Students then worked on the FBI-SOS Scavenger Hunt. Some students completed the Scavenger Hunt and finished the day with RIF.
