It seems we've survived the first ten days. Forms (oh those forms!) are all in and school is settling into a comfortable pattern, right? Great!
I just wanted to post a reminder to use homework live. It is a great website for keeping track of your assignments not just for Blue Team, but for other classes as well. More and more JCMS teachers are taking advantage of this site. Not only can you set up an account where you can have all your classes (if the teacher has made an account) to check assignments, you also get the Agenda Book calendar. Best of all, teachers can post extra copies of assignments. If you are absent, or lose your assignment, you don't need to wait until the next day to get a new copy!
I hope you'll all take advantage of this new service. I know I do!

Welcome (back)...
Okay! It's the big day! Are to ready to roll? I am. New books, some new posters, but it was getting a bit boring being in the classroom with no students. It's time to fill those seats.
If you are a 7th or 8th grade Blue Teamer this year, check this link from the Blue Team Web page for a welcome letter you can share with your parents. It contains a list of supplies you'll need as well as the (ahem) rules of the Blue Team classrooms. Here it is:

If you are a former Blue Teamer, hope you enjoy high school (as if you wouldn't!).
Mr. Starks will be teaching at North this year. Too bad you're going to South. But try to get a class with Mr. Hoagland or Mr. Combs. Not only are they both friends of mine, they are excellent teachers and I know you'll enjoy their class.
Current and new Blue Teamers, be sure to check the Blue Team web page frequently, especially the Social Studies link, since it contains things like the class syllabi and links for the units we'll be doing first.
Finally, don't forget to have the various papers and forms you received in A-A completed and signed. I know it can be overwhelming at first, but it is important to return those ASAP. In addition, you'll be receiving from me a form that allows you to use the internet at school. Until that is signed and returned to me, we can't let you on line, so you'll miss reading this amazing blog!
See you in school!
