We will begin with reading and tracking our reading, and a housekeeping item: Acceptable User Agreement.

Today, we are going to set some semester goals for ourselves. You will decide on four goals including your mark, a learning skill, an English skill, and a growth mindset goal.

We will then create a plan for each goal, using the long-term goal planning tool.

Post each goal separately on Sesame.

Also, attach an avatar to s Snap too and I will add it.

If you finish, please update the tracking sheet.

EXIT SLIP: Have I met my reading goal for this week?

Today is handshake day!

As we move into the #craftreconciliation challenge, we need to connect with the other students who we are learning and collaborating with.

We will be discussing our ideas and posting our work in a space called Desire to Learn (D2L). 

Soon you will have login information for this space.

To connect with others in this project, you will each be making a handshake—a short audio or video introducing you.
