Welcome! • Welcome to Language Arts with Ms. Barker • Take a seat. • I know you’re full of questions and we’ll answer them. For right now, just
Attention Signal • There will be times that you’re allowed to talk amongst yourselves and I need the whole class’ attention again. • When I raise my hand and say, “Show me that you see me” I expect you to raise your hand and become silent. • Let’s practice.
Housekeeping • Supplies (What do I do with all this stuff?)
