Welcome to Vistas! This first day of school was pretty uneventful, but I’m excited for all of my classes. It may take me a little bit to get all of your names, but just bear with me. Especially if I have already messed up your name.

Today, we only worked on the character sheet and did normal first day activities. If you missed today, this is the first grade in the gradebook. You can get a Character Sheet from me. You will need to fill in the following:

• Name
• Nature
• Deameanor
• the 4 R’s (Respect, Relationships, Responsibility, Rigor)

To fill in your Nature and Demeanor, go First Day Stuff in Blackboard. Find the list of Nature and Demeanor Archetypes. Read through them. Find one that is your TRUE SELF – your NATURE. This is the CORE of your being, it never changes. People may not always SEE it, but this is who you truly are.

You demeanor is the mask you wear. You will find there are lots of masks you wear – choose the one you most often wear at school.

For example, my nature is Architect and my demeanor is Jester.

The the four R’s, you have 10 dots to spread among the four categories, YOU CAN ONLY USE TEN DOTS – NO MORE. This may be confusing, so either ask me or ask a classmate if this isn’t making sense.

We then did the First Day survey – this can also be found in the First Day folder on Blackboard.

In first block, we were able to watch Wear Sunscreen and Sneeze about it, and we were also able to do the #’s Activity. We’ll try to do those things in Second Block tomorrow.

Please note that I am teaching an A and a B section at the same time, so don’t assume that all of these posts apply to you.
