Also, I would like to thank Jamie Rubin for heading up our multicultural doll showcase. What a great depiction of the rich cultural diversity that is present on our campus. We wish Andi Matthews good health and happiness as she retires at the end of this school year. We are certain that she will find many interests to fill her day.

Extractions: Session 14 Feb.5,1999 Integrating Technology into the Classroom FAQ for Teachers of Primary and Secondary Students By Mary Connors , M.A. How to deal with varying computer skills of my students? ~ Addressing a fear of computers. Avoid telling your students that the computer is easy to use for everyone. This may make the child who is having difficulty feel inept and discouraged. It is not easy for all students to grasp the logic of computer programs. Bring some humor and understanding to a potentially humiliating experience. Let the student know that in time they will, step-by-step, become more comfortable with the computer. Positive reinforcement can never be overestimated in the learning process. ~ Allow students to work together. ~ Educational activities online. Use educational games and positive feedback to ease the reluctant student to try their hand at computer assisted activities. Arrange a fun class activity on the computer such as an online treasure search or other educational game to include all students in teams or pairs of varying computer skills. Competition can be motivational for some students, however some students are stressed by competition, so be sensitive to this dynamic in your classroom. ~ Clarify what a computer can and cannot do.

Extractions: SATURDAY BASEBALL SPRING PREVIEWS 2004 Four-year starter hopes to take team to district finals By LOU RUSNOCK A right-handed fireballer who throws so hard he's inspired his coach to purchase a radar gun. A classic big-game lefty who relies on pinpoint control and accuracy. And the consummate leader, a four-year starter who hopes to take his team to the district finals for the first time since 1992. Combine them and you've formed the perfect pitcher, yet Marian's TJ Lawrence, Panther Valley's Frank Maurer, and Jim Thorpe's Derick Reis are all trying to leave their own impressions on the 2004 baseball season. The trio will certainly have an impact in the race for the Schuylkill League Division III crown. "In high school baseball, you're only going to go as far as your starting pitching," said Marian coach Jeff Neitz, who knows first-hand how important a quality starter can be. "He didn't pitch in many high-profile games during the year so he was a little bit of a secret," said Panthers' coach John Cooper. "You don't see lefties often and he relies on movement a lot. His biggest asset is his composure and demeanor. He just doesn't get rattled."

Extractions: Mesa Public Library This paper offers practical help to the busy professional who lacks the time to search the Internet for authoritative and appropriate information. The intended audience for this presentation ranges from upper elementary to junior college school librarians, public librarians, and teachers who are interested in using the Internet to help students with reports and homework assignments. The focus is on hard-to-find information, and the factors that were considered in selecting the sites were currency, availability, reading level, language, source reliability and subject popularity. All the sites that were selected for the presentation were evaluated by librarians who work in a large public library, using guidelines established by professional sources. The Internet is not an easy tool to use at a reference desk. While offering seemingly limitless information, search results are not always comprehensive, readily found, or easily validated . Speed of connectivity and a lack of organization also present challenges. However, what makes it worthwhile in the reference arsenal are the benefits it offers over traditional sources: breadth (not aways depth), currency, statistics, and primary sources. Consequently, a busy library must determine how to use the net's strengths without being snared in its problems. One answer is to impose a structure based on your organization's reference needs.

Extractions: PRACTICAL ENGLISH FIRST YEAR I ntegrated Skill s Winter and Summer Semesters, 4 hrs LANGUAGE LEVEL: FCE INSTRUCTOR: Maria Brenda, MA FORMAT: Class work OBJECTIVES: FORMAT: Variety of listening, speaking and reading activities and techniques. ASSESSMENT Attendance - students are allowed two unexcused absences per semester and the total of five is acceptable; they will be taken half a grade away for each additional one. If the grade is unsatisfactory and the signature is refused, students will be evaluated during a re-sit session. Individual projects - students will be asked to prepare 5-10-minute presentations on the latest news followed by a discussion. The following aspects of the presentation will be evaluated: content (how interesting and varied your project is, how stimulating your discussion questions are), accuracy (how correct and accurate your grammar, vocabulary and phonetics are), presentation (how clearly you present your material, does everyone has access to the aids, do you speak audibly, do you speak not read). Short tests will be given once a month. They will consist of regular reading, listening tasks and vocabulary exercises based on the material covered in class. If students fail a test or do not take it (they get a '0' for a not taken test unless the doctor's certificate is provided) they will be asked to retake it at the end of semester unless the average is satisfactory.

Extractions: Every wonder what school is like from a teacher's perspective? A look in from the "other" side :-) I left here in a hurry yesterday, tired of spending my holiday at school, humbled by those parent notes I'd read, depressed at the amount of rain pouring into my classroom through the leaky roof/window, and OH HEAVENS ...when I came in this morning I almost had a heart attack!! The mess was absolutely overwhleming! Don't get me wrong. I WISH I was a "clean desk" person but the clutter always wins over but I was absolutely appalled that I'd left such a huge mess. And, then, when I realized another teacher had been in here to drop some things off..embarassment... What was I thinking Wouldn't it be great if our classrooms just miraculously cleaned themselves, all those books and boxes, and miscellaneous stuff just found their way into the cupboards In orderly fashion of course, in contrast to the way my usually gets packed away...shoved quickly into the largest available spot with the door closed in wait for the unsuspecting person who accidentally opens it to a avalanche of exploding STUFF...No, not an avalanche, a volcano!!

American Immigration Past And Present 1990s, immigrants have arrived at a pace that at times has exceeded 1875, and review peak periods of immigration since the colonial era. H/ss Content Standards http://score.rims.k12.ca.us/activity/immigration/
Extractions: American Immigration Past and Present: A Simulation Activity Historical Overview Throughout its history, America has served as the destination point for a steady flow of immigrants. During the colonial era most migrants came from northern European countries. Their numbers declined with the onset of the Revolutionary War during the 1770s, but immigration later picked up strongly again during the 1840s and 1850s. New arrivals came from several European countries during this period, but most came from Ireland and Germany, where devastating crop failures forced many residents to leave their homelands. Many settled in New York City, where the population increased from 200,000 residents in 1830 to 515,000 in 1850. By 1860, New York was home to over one million residents. More than half of the city's population at that time were immigrants and their American-born children. After the Civil War, America's growing industrial economy required the addition of many more workers, and this need was filled once again by immigrants arriving from Europe. Approximately 25 million arrived between 1866 and 1915. While earlier immigrants had come mainly from northern European countries such as England, Germany, and the Scandinavian countries, by the 1880s most new immigrants were arriving from southern and eastern European countries such as Italy, Poland and Russia. Like their Irish predecessors, most of these new arrivals were poor and uneducated. Many were peasants from rural regions who were being pushed out by Europe's industrial revolution.
