Bright Flower - Poem

 

This summer I have been exploring writing. This is my poem of the day

Bright Flower

The bright red flower sustaining the dry heat 

Among the urban buildings short of green trees

Attractive to the driver’s eyes

When they wait for the traffic light to turn green 

Bright red petals bring a break

From the polluted air suffocating the burning streets

Opportunity to Polish Your Teaching Skills at 2019 NYCDOE School Technology Summit

As teachers we always need opportunities to borrow ideas and strategies to be more effective teachers in the classroom. It's better to invest our time and energy in attending PD sessions to enrich and polish our instructional skills rather than struggle in the classroom on everyday basis. The Department of Education offers 2019 NYCDOE School Technology Summit this July 31, 2019. It's a great opportunity to build your Professional Learning Network #PLN.

Ms. Kaplan and I will be co-presenting session Demonstrate Learned Content Through Infographics with Easel.ly.
