The Outstanding Chorus of PS 22, NYC

So, towards the end of class I was showing you some of the chorus of Public School 22 in Staten Island.  Well, first of all...I think we can all agree how amazingly talented these students are.  Secondly, (and this is from my perspective), what an amazing teacher...obvious dedication!

I always talk about being inspired by something and running with it, letting it guide your lives.  Well, it is obvious that the students have the inspiration!  Teachers can lead students so far, but it is amazing what people can do when they are inspired!  And, like we said, the students are singing their songs...and look what happened!

Anyway, feel free to check them out here...and take a look at some of their appearances...Oprah, Today Show, and live performances with Beyonce, Tori Amos, etc.  Unreal!

Current Events Rap? Sure!!

Hey all...hope you're having a good night!  Im home, watching Jeopardy (one of my guilty pleasures) and found this video.  It's a current events montage of events from the summer..pretty cool, if I say so myself.  Enjoy!

(Oh, and thanks for all the nice words!  Keep it up...and good to hear from all my students, past and present!)

SQ3R notes

In case you forgot your sheet at school, or just want a reminder...


sq3r

OK, 4 days in...

Good evening everyone!  Hopefully we are all finished with our "SQ3R" notes for Social Studies, as well as the Math homework as well.  It's a beautiful evening....Im sitting on my back deck, enjoying the diminishing amount of days that I can do so.
Anyway, just a few things on my mind....I certainly hope everyone is enjoying their time in class.  I know we've started slowly, but rest assured, we will be flying soon.  Additionally, I hope everyone is feeling comfortable in class...and if there is anything that is ever bothering you, please let me know ASAP.  I don't want anyone feeling like that, and always do my very best to make sure that there is always respect shown towards everyone.  If you don't feel comfortable talking to me in class, please write me a note, send me an email, have someone else tell me...whatever works for you.  Just, don't wait!

So, to email me....

See that arrow?  Click there, and it will open up your email and my address magically appears there.  Neat, huh?







And, to comment on something I say...

That's right....you can comment on something I say!  Please do...I love hearing from you!

(And yes, you can even post this to your Facebook or Twitter, too!)







So, there we go!  Enjoy the site, as it will be updated often.  See you tomorrow!
