This is a great way to use technology to help students finish assignments on time!

 
 
 These sites are fun, will engage them creatively, as well as intellectually and keep students who finish early on the right track. Students will love using the laptops and I think this will encourage the students to finish assignments in a timely manner.

Quotes to teach by.

I like a teacher who gives you something to take home to think about besides homework.  ~Lily Tomlin as "Edith Ann"


" To teach is to learn, again.
People don't care how much you know,
Until they know how much you care.
Remember this when dealing with your students,
Especially with the challenging one's."
