If you haven't done so already, turn in your Netbook Agreement handout and find an Independent Reading Book to bring to class. 

We're getting our textbooks in the library tomorrow, so remember to have your school I.D. or your planner AND your class schedule.

In groups, we gave advice on how to be successful in school; that advice was written down in your notebook, so copy it from someone if you don't have it.  Label it ADVICE.  We also talked about consequences for not following the rules; 1st time is a warning, 2nd time is lunch detention, 3rd time is a phone call home, and the 4th time is a referral.  The exception to this list of consequences is the electronic device policy: 1st time is a warning, 2nd time is the collection of the phone to be given to the office and returned to your parent or guardian; if you refuse to give me your electronic device, you get a referral for defiance. 

We began the 6 Word Memoir.  Create a saying or slogan that illustrates something about you.  Examples: "Every day is a new experience."  "Argghh!  A pirate's life for me!"  Write your 6 Word Memoir creatively on a strip of construction paper.  Due date: 9/5
