Welcome to our first class blog! Way back on Monday, the first day of school, my sixth period class came in at the end to a long, hot day. They found their way into seats at tables around the room and we were ready to get started. 

The first thing we did was introduce ourselves. I introduced myself and each student introduced themselves.

Next, I passed out the course outline and we talked about materials, grading, homework, and rules. Students signed their understanding and we moved on to the course syllabus. 

Each table did popcorn reading of the units we will study fall and spring semester. 

The last paper I handed out was my first day letter. I started to read that, but then class was over!

On the second day... 

We took a minute to do box breathing, and then we named our blog. 

After that, I collected course outlines and although everyone had then, a few were missing. 

We moved on to first day letters which was our first writers workshop. Students settled in to writing their letters to me and I passed out copies of books for students to take home. 

That was it for the first couple of days. Such a good start to the year, y'all. We got this.
