Summer Over and a New Beginning

We did it. We started a new year and we are in the third grade.
I can't wait to see how and when the lights will come on (in the little mind).
A few minutes late but pretty much ready to go, we were in to full swing.
Things will go a little different this year than last. I learned a few things last year.
This year we will not only earn points for special things, but we can we can loose them as well. OUCH..
But the concept is an awaking to 'effort pays'.

I was new to all of it last year and drew different ideas from different folks. I am applying what I think may help us this year. I am still open to ideas, but we have begun and the ground rules are on the table. Which can change at the discretion of the teacher, who happens to be me. Not that I will change things unless forced to do so.
