Today we went over the class outline and expectations, and started to get to know one another. You seem like an energetic, positive group of people and I look forward to working with you.
Quick follow-up on our end-of-class conversation about classes you enjoyed. It sounded like many of you value independence, and classes that you can be social in. If you can show me that you are willing to engage and work hard, I can offer you plenty of independence. You will work hard - no slacking off, please - but I will do my best to make the work you do valuable. I also agree that having a social community in class is important, and that's why we'll spend time this week getting to know one another, and eventually, spend a lot of time working collaboratively.
Homework: please have a parent/guardian complete the parent letter, and bring it back to school. Also, please say hello beneath to confirm that you understand how to comment. It looks like you will need to create a Google account. If you already use Gmail or Blogger, you have one; otherwise, go to http://www.google.ca/, click on "Log in" in the top right corner, then click on "Create an account now". It will lead you through a simple process, then, when you're ready to comment, you'll log in with your username and password. If you are confused please ask me and I will help you.

This is how the world ends, not with a bang but a whimper.
