Intro to Mindfulness. We talked about how mindfulness means being fully present and aware of what's going on in your mind, body, and surroundings. Benefits of mindfulness include increased patience, focus and productivity, compassion, body awareness, and a decrease in stress and anxiety. We'll be practicing mindfulness each Monday to give you skills to be more successful.
After our mindfulness practice, we put together our binders. Please check the absent bin in class for handouts you may have missed. You will label your 5 tabs in your binder as follows: journal, agenda, toolkit, assignments, and binder check. There is a master binder in the front of the room so you can make sure your binder is organized correctly. HOMEWORK: None. Finish the multiple choice Diagnostic Test if you didn't finish yesterday.
Once you're done, there is an assignment on Google Classroom titled "Grammar Diagnostic and Practice". Follow the instructions for logging into No Red Ink. If the class code doesn't automatically appear the first time, you may need to click on the link in Classroom again. Grammar is part of our Language standards. While the practice activities will not be graded, I highly recommend that you complete them. You will take a quiz on Building Compound and Complex sentences and that will be the score that is entered into the gradebook. You may not retake the quiz for a higher grade unless you finish the practice. HOMEWORK: Make sure you bring your binder and all school supplies tomorrow. You will need it in class. Grade 11 Diagnostic Test - Multiple Choice
This multiple choice exam is on StudySync and only open during classtime. If you didn't finish during class today, you'll be able to finish in class tomorrow. HOMEWORK: None. How are you smart? We took a multiple intelligences quiz in class. Then you went on Google Classroom to record your answers and read more about your results. (Hard copy in absent bin.)
ESLRs - Expected School-wide Learning Results We looked at the ESLRs again today (remember PSHS?). You chose one to make your goal for the first quarter and then we played a Quizlet game. (2 hard copies in absent bin.) HOMEWORK: Bring me your signed syllabus if you haven't already. Finish writing your goals if you didn't finish in class. We wrote personal narratives today. Write a full page (to the bottom of the front side) about yourself! What are you most proud of? What’s a challenge you have overcome or are in the process of overcoming? What do you like? What do you dislike? What are you most excited and/or concerned about for this academic year?
We then went over the syllabus. Please review with your parent/guardian and bring back the signed sheet tomorrow. The syllabus can be found on this page under "Important Info" HOMEWORK: Book selfie due tomorrow. Bring back your signed syllabus.
