Fly Me to the Moon (rough draft)

Fly Me to the Moon - This is the Rough Draft, so you can't hear the
students too well. I hope you like it.

First Two Weeks

What a wonderful first two weeks this has been. It has been a whirl-wind for me, and it seems that it has been so for the students also. I am happy to report we are settling down into most of the routines and procedures that will be in my classroom.

For parents that were volunteering, I will be ready this next week, I just have to work out some scheduling and details. It is wonderful to have your support.

Hopefully, you have been receiving feedback on your students assignments (that they have been bringing them home to show you). They have been working hard in class, but we are just barely scratching the surface. The routines and structure of the class are being solidified, and the best possible result is that the students are responding. The assignments will get harder and I will be enforcing the highest of expectations as I push and pull the students into compliance.

The first thing I will establish is the communication bridge, so you might read this on the internet, some of you will read this as a printout. Let me know what works best for you.  Next, I am getting into the routines myself, and I promise to have updates weekly, starting this next week (Labor Day was just too nice).

P.S. Check out a slide show from the first day pictures. To be posted by morning.

This week we are working on procedures, routines, and habits.

For instance in Mathematics the homework is called "Drop in the Bucket." The biggest complaint will be it is too easy. (Reverse psychology - start out easy so they get in the habit).
