Procedures and diagnostic

Today, we buried our "killer statements" and discussed why these statements are not a part of our classroom environment. We continued to go over class procedures and practiced several of these procedures. Students completed a writing diagnostic and chose between 4 different writing prompts to write about an important experience in their life. This diagnostic will be used to set writing goals for the school year. Students who did not take the "8 kinds of smart" test during orientation did so today in class while the rest of the class completed an activity discussing the 8 kinds of smart and the different talents that individuals may have. Each student had their picture taken today.

There is no homework.
