A WORD ABOUT HOMEWORK - ANY WRITTEN HOMEWORK THAT IS ASSIGNED IS DONE TO EMPHASIZE IMPORTANT CONCEPTS/TERMS/NAMES/IDEAS STUDENTS NEED TO KNOW - IT ISN'T RANDOM "BUSY" WORK. STUDENTS NEED TO PAY CAREFUL ATTENTION TO THEIR HANDWRITING &/OR TYPING, SPELLING AND GRAMMAR, PROVIDE DETAILS AND CONTENT, AND ANSWER IN COMPLETE SENTENCES. TIME MANAGEMENT AND ORGANIZATIONAL SKILLS ARE CRITICAL COMPONENTS FOR ACHIEVING SOLID GRADES.
*** I WILL ALWAYS PUT IMPORTANT ASSIGNMENT INFORMATION ON MY GOOGLE CLASSROOM &/OR USE "REMIND" MESSAGES TO COMMUNICATE WITH STUDENTS. STUDENTS NOW HAVE ACCESS TO A DIGITAL PLANNER TO HELP THEM KEEP TRACK OF THEIR HOMEWORK AND ASSSIGNMENTS IN A VARIETY OF CLASSES OR THEY CAN PURCHASE A PLANNER THEY CAN WRITE ON.
*** #911GoodDeeds will be an forthcoming assignment in September. Many students may not be aware of September 11th, and this assignment will focus on doing something positive, good and meaningful. You may visit the website 911day.org, Twitter @911day, facebook/911day or Instagram @911_day to read information about how the founders of this federally recognized organization wanted to gradually transform the anniversary of the Sept.11th attacks from a day of tragedy into a day of doing good. This particular day affected me personally since my spouse is a FDNY firefighter who was training at Randall's Island and responded to the call for help as thousands of others did on that tragic day. His house suffered a great loss of life and many were left with physical, mental and emotional scars. Sept.11th changed our state, country and the world and it is an important historical event that should not go unnoticed. Let's live our lives with purpose and positivity, and that we can all make a difference in this world - thank you.
