1. Nametags
Grab a piece of paper and markers. We are going to create name tags so we can get to know each other.

2. Government Journals

• We're going to set up our Gov Journals.
• You will use these journals each day in class for your Daily Journals (at the beginning of class) 
• I will give you a brand new journal and you will set it up as follows: 

3. About You Forms  

• Please fill out this About Me Form to help me get to know you before we start the year. 
• I want to know what technology you're already familiar with, especially since we use technology a lot in this classroom. 
• This also helps me with where you need to sit, especially if you have glasses or have a hard time seeing from far away. 

4. Syllabus Review 

• I have uploaded a copy of the syllabus HERE. 
• You can preview it or make a copy and save it to your drive. 
• It is also linked in the "Syllabus" tab of the blog above. 
• I am going to ask you questions and you will write down the answers on your whiteboard tables (get used to doing this - it will happen often!) 

5. Expectations 
Let's set our expectations for the quarter together.

Reminders: 

• Wednesday: Pajama Day 
• Thursday: Halloween Costumes
• Friday: School colors (maroon and silver)
