Social Contract

We made it through the first day! It was wonderful to see all your smiling faces and begin to learn all of your names. I will try my best to be quick about the learning names part.

Today you are going to turn in the 10 to 1 facts about yourself and the signed parent/guardian information sheet (if you have it) and then we will be creating a social contract for our class.

The 4 questions you will ask yourself are:
1. How do you want to be treated by me?
2. How do you want to be treated by each other?
3. How do you think I would like to be treated by you?
4. How should we treat each other when there is conflict?

We will compile all our answers and come up with a set of guidelines that we would like to follow as a class and hold each other accountable to.

Then we will work in groups on an activity called The Martian vs The Car.

This sheet deals with the characteristics of all living things. These 8 things can be found on pages 16-19. Each one will be defined and or described in notes that you will write as a class.
