8th Grade week 1 - Class Orientation RESPECT, JOBS, ETC...

Hey Gang,

Day one (Monday, January 3rd and 4th)) I was not present.  Students did a series of three drawings with a substitute, and created their port folio folder (where all of there art is to be stored for the six weeks period of my class.

Day Two:  November the 3rd, we discusses the class expectations and points about organizing.
     - Respect and the three different types.    
               1.   Conditional:   Manipulative and self-centered, on the surface.  Given to get something in
                      return, like: forgiveness, favor, etc..
               2.   Compliant:  Given out of benevelance, kindness, sense of duty.  Given considering the needs
                      of others.  It's not fair to the giver.
               3.   Relational:   Based on love and kindness.  This type is the only one that is EARNED.   It is
                       earned over time knowing a person, and based on a very high regard (opinion of that person).

We also will go over (review) the math involved in figuring out your grade at any time you need to during the six weeks.
