--Please find your name card and sit in the corresponding desk (still alphabetical order--these are your assigned seats for now) where you will find a Post-it Note.

Jump Off (8-10 mins.)
--concept of the Jump Off explained yet again as a reminder
- Write your first and last name on the Post-it Note located on your desk. Then, stick the Post-it to your "Artifact Bag." Finally, turn in your bag by placing it in the appropriately labeled box located at the front of the classroom.
- If you have already turned in your "Artifact Bag," but it is not labeled, see me at the front table.
- Turn in your "Letter to Yourself" assignment by placing it in the black basket on the front table. I will return these letters to you before class ends.
- Open your notebook to a clean page. Put today's date (9/12 or 9/13) in the lefthand margin and label the page "Establishing Our Classroom Environment: Rule of the Room." The overarching rule in Room 203 is "RESPECT EACH OTHER!". Based on your understanding of the concept of respect, think about some of your past experiences in classrooms and make a list of behaviors that you have witnessed that could be considered disrespectful (and, therefore, would be breaking our key rule). For example, in my notes, I might write down the following: "Talking while the teacher is talking." Good luck--raise your hand if you need these directions clarified.
