Lessons+From+Class

==You are now on the __Lessons From Class__ page. The calendar will give you the topic, class aim/objective, class activities, and the PowerPoint notes from the day's lesson (not all of these will be there, but parents will know what their child is learning that day.) This is a great tool to use if you were absent from school, or you lost your notes. Follow the calendr, by locating your class, and if you have any questions, please ask or email Mr. Kanowitz.==

Class Reminders: 1. Come to class prepared (PENS/PENCILS, PAPER, NOTEBOOK) - Being prepared will save you time when you begin class, and it is a good way to show your teachers and your classmates you are serious about your education.

2. Come to class prepared (This is not a typo - I want you prepared for class)

3. Pay attention, and listen. The number one reason you are in school is to LEARN.

4. Ask your teachers question if you do not understand something about the lesson. Its always a smart thing to ask and get involved in the classroom, but try to stay away from questions that have nothing to do with the class: For Example: asking a teacher what their first name is, how old are they, and if they saw the Knicks' game last night. All of that talk can be done when class is not in session. If you really want to connect with your teachers, try the mornings - before homeroom, after school or during your lunch break.

5. Go to the bathroom during your lunch break. You shouldn't need to go to the bathroom or get a drink of water, periods 5,6,7,and 8. You are going to miss important class time.
