Checked for the Learning Styles Inventory Reflection, but did not collect.

We began the 'Getting to know your textbook' worksheet and will finish tomorrow in class. I showed a model of the Big Bubble Poster and explained what it should be about.

We continued with the multiple intelligence surveys and discovered what type of learner we are.
Homework Learning Styles Inventory Reflection. (a) What had you already known? (b) What surprised you? (c) What 2-3 things (from the strategies section) can you do to make sure you'll have a successful academic year? (Use what you learned from the Descriptions and Strategies paperwork.)
Monday
Welcome back! Today we spent time reviewing the syllabus, classroom rules and procedures, and getting to know each other. We did the youth version of the Seven Intelligences Checklist - the corresponding half-sheet was collected; students kept the original survey.
Homework is to get the paperwork signed and returned. Tomorrow we pick up the textbooks (assigned to each student).
