WELCOME BACK! 

There is a lot of information to absorb on the first day of class.  First, make sure you have the following internet addresses in your planner: jbgardham@gmail.com   and  
 jbgardhamsblog-o-rama.blogspot.com/

Also, we went over the syllabus and netbook agreement handouts; get these from the podium if you don't have them.  The classroom rules were discussed and we made a name tent.  To make a name tent, do the following: fold a regular sheet of paper in half by width; in the middle of the half-sheet, write your first name, big and bold; in the upper left-hand corner, write an adjective that describes you; in the upper right-hand corner, write something you like to do in your spare time; in the lower left-hand corner, write a future goal; and in the lower right-hand corner, write your favorite or least favorite subject.

The HW is to find and write down a college-level word that describes you.  I will collect that word at the door as you enter class.

Lastly, we did an exit slip answering the following questions: Which classroom rule will be easy for you to follow?  Which classroom rule will be difficult for you to follow?

CONGRATULATIONS! WE GOT THROUGH DAY 1!  WHOOP WHOOP!
