Homework for 8/28 A-day and 8/31 B-day

No Homework!!! (Everybody say Woo Hoo!!)

Thank you to my A-day classes for being so well-behaved for the substitute on Friday. B-Day classes, I'll be out on Monday as well so the substitute will have your assignments for you.

Remember to be good leaders!!!

Homework for 8/26 and 8/27

This is not a written assignment so I didn't put a due date in the title of the post.
Your homework is to think about all of the good habits you already have. Focus on the good habits, don't worry about the bad habits now (we'll talk about those later).

Supplies

Here is a list of the supplies the students need to bring to class each day:

Paper
Pencil or pen (not green)
Folder (it doesn't matter what type of folder as long as it has prongs and pockets)
Planner
Student ID
Independent reading book

Homework due 8/26 A-day and 8/27 B-day

Answer this question: What's a habit?

I don't expect a long answer. If you can answer the question in one or two sentences, that will be fine.
