The Great Backpack Clean Out

Today we spent some time either cleaning out backpacks or helping other students to clean out and organize their backpacks. Students were reminded that their notebooks for this class belong in their folder in the back of my room. It’s one less thing in their backpacks.

Last Friday’s quiz and homework was also returned. Quiz corrections are due tomorrow. I did have a few questions from students about whether or not they can use their homework to make those corrections: YES! Some of them seem to feel it was cheating to do so. I explained that my goal is that they see where they made their mistakes and learn from them.

We also had library today. Some students checked out biographies for our upcoming unit. Most students will pick from my selection of biographies tomorrow.
