Today in class we used play-doh to create symbols. First we created symbols of how we felt about last quarter (and then had to explain the symbols in writing), and then we made symbols of our hopes for this next quarter (and explained those in writing as well).
We then filled out a self-evaluation checklist of our work habits for last quarter and received a printout of our approximate grade for last quarter to compare how our work habits influenced our grade.
Using that information, we wrote letters to our parents explaining our grade, describing what work habits led to that grade, what we hope to do for the next quarter, and how our parents can help us achieve those goals.
We turned in the play-doh writing, the checklist and the parent letter.
Our final activity was to take notes on "Class Secretary" -- a person responsible for taking notes on class activities (as I am doing now), posting them to the class blog, and passing back papers during class. We also used the last two minutes of class to practice writing up the events of class. We were told to keep the class secretary notes for use tomorrow.
Tomorrow, we will sign up for days to be class secretary, and our only homework is to make sure we come prepared with our folder, journal, writing utensil, and any textbooks that have yet to be turned in.
