Today we began establishing a social contract for the class. This included establishing what an ideal class is for us and defining our bottom line (what can't happen in our class for our ideal class to happen). We discussed how human beings construct social contracts to prevent violence, harassment and chaos. Syria and our neighbour to the south were used as a very real global example. The Dark Ages were also referred to as an example of when humans lose their social contract and give up their ideals. This was a Social Studies day.
Tomorrow we will be doing a class rotation and discussing binder and interactive notebook systems. Make sure that you come prepared with your supplies. The gentlemen from facilities were fixing lockers this afternoon and I believe all our 4 homeless 8s will have somewhere to store their stuff by tomorrow.
Don't forget to give your parents the letter and the office envelope. The secret word is: Raspberry.
