Objective: iPad rules, get to know you

In class we reviewed the policies and procedures of the class and signed an iPad expectations contract.  Students picked an animal (tiger, eagle, fish, butterfly, lizard, or monkey) that they thought best represented their personality.  We colored the animals and wrote 3 reasons why they chose that animal on the back and hung them on the wall.  Now my wall is nice and bright with student art!  Please remember to sign and turn in the bottom portion of the blue disclosure if you haven't already.  Have a great weekend!
