25 Feb '16

Dear TIME 2000 Students, Dr. Artzt's annual reunion dinner will be held on campus in June. At the dinner we honor mathematics teachers who inspired QC students to become secondary school mathematics teachers. If you would like to nominate one of your past mathematics teachers for an award, please send your name, the teacher's name, school, and email address (if you have it), and a few sentences explaining why you are nominating the teacher. I look forward to reading your nominations. Sincerely, Naomi Weinman TIME 2000/SEYS Powdermaker Hall 002 Queens College, CUNY 65-30 Kissena Boulevard Queens, NY 11367-1597 Office: 718-997-5377 Fax: 718-997-5173 TIME2000.qc.cuny.edu

by Naomi Weinman 23 Feb '16

A private tutoring service in Port Washington called the office because they are in need of tutors. Visit porttutoring.com to learn more about them. The Web site says you need a college degree to tutor but since they called and requested students, you should contact them if you are interested. Ronni Swain called the office and said, "I need emergency placement for students who can teach Common Core algebra 1, 2, and geometry." She said she has 13+ kids and the number is growing. Her contact information is: Call: 646 299-0066<tel:646%20299-0066> Email: info(a)porttutoring.com<mailto:info@porttutoring.com> Naomi Weinman TIME 2000/SEYS Powdermaker Hall 002 Queens College, CUNY 65-30 Kissena Boulevard Queens, NY 11367-1597 Office: 718-997-5377 Fax: 718-997-5173 TIME2000.qc.cuny.edu

I teach Algebra at Hillside Arts and Letters Academy in Jamaica, Queens. We are holding our annual Portfolio Day on Friday, February 26, 2016 from 11:30-3:00. On Portfolio Day our students in grades 9 and 10 showcase their best work from the first semester to guests and parents we invite from the community. It is always a challenge to bring guests in since most people are working during this time period. I thought this would be an excellent opportunity for undergraduate education majors to see a real classroom in NYC, interact with our 9th and 10th graders in round table discussions where they talk about their classwork from the first semester, and see different projects from our project based learning curriculum in all subject areas. Last year we had the pleasure of having one of your undergraduate students attend our event and I know she enjoyed it! I emailed you last year about this and was hoping that you would pass this email along to your undergraduate students again and encourage them to RSVP and attend Friday, February 26th. I also encourage all secondary education students to participate, since students will be presenting projects from all subject areas. My principal is more than happy to sign off for observation or classroom hours that are needed for education classes or certification. I just ask that if a student RSVP's that they will attend they plan to come to the entire event from 11:30-3. A lunch and reception will be held from 11:30 am - 12:30 pm. I attached the formal invitation to the email which explains more about Portfolio Day. As a Queens student myself, I would be honored to have my fellow classmates as guests at Portfolio Day. It is a truly inspirational day for students and educators. Please RSVP to MMilana(a)hillsidearts.org<mailto:MMilana@hillsidearts.org> by Wednesday, February 24th. Thank you, Meghan Milana Mathematics Teacher Hillside Arts & Letters Academy 167-01 Gothic Drive Jamaica, NY 11432 718-658-1249

Dear TIME 2000 Students, See below and attached for an interesting opportunity! The event will be this coming Wednesday, February 10th during free hour in PH 130. Mrs. Weinman From: Naomi Weinman [mailto:qcnweinman@aol.com] Sent: Monday, February 08, 2016 1:51 PM To: Naomi Weinman Subject: Fwd: Queens College Mathematics Students Partner with Cents Ability My name is Samantha Shlimbaum and I am a graduate from Queens College, Class of 2013. I currently work for Cents Ability- we are NYC based 501(c) 3 nonprofit organization that delivers education and engaging financial literacy workshops to high school students free of charge. Estefania Heriera copied on this email is also a graduate from Queens College, she graduated with a Mathematics Secondary Education degree, and works for Flushing International High School. My nonprofit is accepting one of her current students as an intern. She had informed me to reach out to you both in order to facilitate an event we are throwing at Queens College. We are seeking to make a Cents Ability Chapter at Queens College to connect current college students with high school teens, through our financial literacy program. As a volunteer they are trained to teach 45 minute modules on Goal Setting, Budgeting, Savings and Banking, Credit Cards and the Stock Market. We also have a class on college loans, for student to be understand the debt they are taking on, and finance options for college. Financial literacy programming within high schools is very limited throughout the United States and there has been a push since the recession to better inform teens on money management skills. I was hoping you would be able to facilitate this flyer throughout your department, and possibly email your students information on our event. This is a great opportunity for your future Mathmatics teachers to practice instructing in a classroom alongside our trained volunteers from within the finance industry. Our partnership with QC will help in our outreach to high need schools in Southeast Queens. The event will be this coming Wednesday, February 10th during free hour in PH 130. Look forward to hearing from you. -- Samantha Shlimbaum Programs Coordinator Cents Ability, Inc. c/o Societe Generale 245 Park Avenue, 5th floor New York, NY 10167 Direct Line: 212.278.7646 www.cents-ability.org<http://www.cents-ability.org> -- Alice F.
