First Day of CLASS for Juniors and Seniors

I met with the Juniors today. They are a great group, very friendly and supportive of each other. There were 5 students in the class and each of them attends a different school! We have students from SOTA, Bellarmine, Curtis, Foss, and Stadium. They are mostly concerned about the difficult classes they are taking and having the time to do their homework and keep up with their studies. But overall, they are a happy group. I met with Andy and Nelson before tutoring started because Nelson has to go to karate and can't make class and Andy needs the uninterrupted time from 3:15 to 5pm to do his homework.

In the Senior class there are only 3 students, but all 3 have been with us a long time. We have worked with Lisa since 8th grade! It's hard to believe she's a senior. The seniors are worried about managing their time and getting into college, and they are very excited about graduating high school at the end of this year.

The agenda for both classes was:
Introductions
Expectations/Grading/Attendance Policies
Binder Organization Preview
Raid the School Supply Cabinet.

Next week we will only have one class for each grade because Monday is a holiday and Thursday we are closed for a staff retreat. So we will actually get our binders organized next week during class and also learn to use our planners and our assignment logs.

Here we go!
