Introduction

Today we got to know each other.  I told students about myself and began the process of learning their names.  I introduced students to this website and showed them how to answer the problem of the day.  Today's homework is for students to take home the Million Words "assignment."  I would like parents to tell me about their child in a million words or less.  Also, students need to bring their binder, tabs/dividers, and loose leaf paper to class tomorrow as we will be setting up our binders.  Below is a link to the Million Words assignment:
