Four Corners!!!

Today in class we did a four corners activity. In this activity you had to agree, strongly agree, disagree, or strongly disagree with a statement that was made. This is a great way to see how all of our opinions may differ on certain topics. What I would like you to do is agree, strongly agree, disagree, or strongly disagree with the statement below. I would then like you to support your argument in about 3/4 of a page to a page. Good luck, and remember, there are no wrong answers.

Hoops of Hope - Charity event

Every day over one thousand African children lose a parent to HIV/AIDS. These children become orphans and their lives are changed forever. MS 582 is trying to raise money to help build a medical facility to help a community in Africa. On May 17th, students at MS 582 will shoot thousands of free throws to help raise awareness of the cause. If you would like to support MS 582, Hoops of Hope, and most importantly the thousands of African children who are affected, please talk to me personally or make a small donation at www.firstgiving.com/ms582. You can also click on the link on the right side of this page. Thank you for your support, and remember "Make what you Believe in, Happen".

The March on Washington Reflection

On Friday we did out what we set to do. We re-created the historic 1963 March on Washington. Shaiasha, Genise, Briona, Yarritza, Ruthie, and Javon were outstanding speaking in front of such a large crowd. The signs everyone made in Ms. Cappellino's class were amazing, and the whole event went pretty smoothly. You all did a fantastic job. Now I would like to know your thoughts on the experience. Did you feel like you were a part of something? Was it moving at all? What did you like about it? What could have been better? I'd like to know your thoughts. I value your opinions and could use your feedback to make it even better next year. Thanks.
