It's the first day of school and already second period. Wow. So, all of my second period students came to class and were assigned seats. Danika was less than impressed with hers, but, you know. I'm sure she'll survive.

I signed program cards as students wrote the agenda. Then students read over the course outline and syllabus for first semester making annotations to the text as I called roll. We then went over the course expectations, materials, homework, grading, and rules. We turned the paper over and talked about the books we will be reading to start the year. We will look at questions like "What is home?" and "What does it mean to take a stand?" as we read Inside Out & Back Again, A Young People's History of the United States,  The Outsiders, and To Kill A Mockingbird.

Once we finished we came up with our blog name and this is it! I happen to think it's one of the best blog names ever...

Here is second period before they were dismissed to nutrition. Happy first day!
