Do U complain about technology?

Do u complain when u can't find a wifi hotspot? Is your cell driving u nuts? Planes can make u lose your temper? You better stop complaining! Why? Watch this video!




So what do you think? Should we complain so much?

It's time to go back to school!



Hi Everyone,

It's time to go back to school and there are a few things u can do to make your life easier:

What if you don't like your new teacher? Get to know your teacher... getting to know people takes time ... so ...one class shouldn't be enough for u to hate someone! :)

Do your best. You won't believe how much u can improve if you get engaged in classroom activities!

Develop good work habits, like writing down your assignments and turning in your homework on time.

If you don't understand something, ask the teacher. Teachers are there to help you!

Keeping a a sense of humor makes school fun!

If something is bothering talk to your teacher! Teachers sometimes aren't aware of everything that is going on.

Try something new! Studying with a classmate, writing for the class blog,etc.


and the most important tip of all:

Enjoy your semester!

TIME DOES FLY!




WOW...I CAN'T BELIEVE THE SEMESTER IS OVER...CAN U? WE HAVE DONE SO MUCH, BUT STILL...IT SEEMS LIKE WE HAVE JUST STARTED ...I JUST WANTED TO SAY THAT IT HAS BEEN A PLEASURE TO TEACH YOU AND EVERYONE WILL ALWAYS BE IN MY HEART...I WILL LEAVE YOU WITH SOME QUOTES...CHEERS!!!

"Some people come into our lives and quickly go. Some stay for a while, leave footprints on our hearts, and we are never, ever the same."
Flavia Weedn

"Don't be dismayed at goodbyes. A farewell is necessary before you can meet again. And meeting again, after moments or lifetime, is certain for those who are friends."
Richard Bach

" Why can't we get all the people together in the world that we really like and then just stay together? I guess that wouldn't work. Someone would leave. Someone always leaves. Then we would have to say good-bye. I hate good-byes. I know what I need. I need more hellos."
Charles M. Schulz


I WISH EVERYONE A VERY HAPPY 'HELLO' NEXT SEMESTER..AND REMEMBER ...IF I AM NOT YOUR TEACHER, COME BY AND VISIT!
