September 8, 2012

Today we talked about Habit 4: Think Win-Win, Habit 5: Seek First to Understand, Then to be Understood, and Habit 7: Sharpen the Saw. It's important for all of us to have balance in our lives. We need to do activities that will help our mind, heart, body, and soul.

*Parents: We are sensitive to the availability of the Internet.  The large majority of the students have access at home. There were only a few students who mentioned that they did not have access. However,  upon further inquiry,  we have been made aware that the students had access to smart phones at home.  On line assignments can be completed from any mobile device.  Students can also use free Internet service at the public library.  "Online homework" can be submitted in the traditional manner i.e. written on lined paper.   Students just need to make sure that the assignment is labeled with their name and homebase color.  Please be careful about typing the URL addresses we give you and make sure you know when your student is online. We cannot control what is on the Internet.
