Every teacher I've talked to has really been impressed by the behavior of this year's students. They really seem to be a great group of kids. I have had to given some warnings and office referrals for Dress Code violations, we've had a few tardies, but the biggest thing today was the number of students who had not done their homework and had not come to class prepared. I suppose they are still just trying to get into the groove of things.

Today, we turned in our writing folders. Some people decided not to follow the directions regarding decorating them. We took an open note quiz over the short story terms. Some students had decided not to complete their terms. We took a quick reading check quiz over "The Sniper," but some students had decided not to read it.

Then we took notes over the Plot Outline. The calendar has a link to that.
