Today:
If you are checking out my blog on the first day of school, welcome!  I had a great day meeting the students I will have this year, and I excited to get this year rolling!  The main discussion for today was about my expectations for my classrooms' behavior.  This is not to say I read them the riot act.  Not at all.  We discussed how I want my classroom to be positive and supportive.  We will accomplish so much more this year if students have a secure learning envirionment.  In my classroom, students need to take risks, so the first lesson they must learn is how to be positive and supportive.  And yes, you did hear right.  We will be studying Barney!
