[Time2000_t19 0036] FW: Hillside Arts and Letters Academy Portfolio Day

Dear TIME 2000 Students, Please read below for an opportunity to build your resume, earn observation hours, and get to know people at a school for future connections. Sincerely, Mrs. Weinman -------- Original message -------- From: Meghan Milana Date:01/30/2017 8:29 PM (GMT-05:00) To: Alice Artzt , frcurcio(a)aol.com<mailto:frcurcio@aol.com>, Naomi Weinman , Theresa Gurl Subject: Hillside Arts and Letters Academy Portfolio Day Hello! I hope everything is going well at Queen's College and you are excited for another semester. I can't believe it has been almost a year since graduating. Teaching without going to school at night is a little strange but I am enjoying my extra free time. I wanted to invite you and your students to my school's Portfolio Day event coming up on Friday, February 10, 2017 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 or graduate education majors of any content area 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 curriculum projects from all subject areas. (We are a problem-based learning school.) I was hoping that you would pass this email along to your students and encourage them to RSVP by Tuesday, February 7th. 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. Lunch will also be served. I attached the formal invitation to the email which explains more about Portfolio Day. I really hope students at Queens College can make it to the event. It is truly an inspirational day for all students and educators. Please RSVP to MMilana(a)hillsidearts.org<mailto:MMilana@hillsidearts.org> by February 7th. Thank you! Meghan Milana '16 Mathematics Teacher Hillside Arts & Letters Academy 167-01 Gothic Drive Jamaica, NY 11432 718-658-1249

by Naomi Weinman 27 Jan '17

27 Jan '17

The Writing Center continues to provide support for student writing at Queens College. Individual, in-person tutoring will be available during the semester: Monday-Thursday: 10 am-2 pm and 3-8 pm Friday: 10 am-1 pm Saturday: 10 am-2 pm The Writing Center is located in Kiely Hall, Room 229 and can be reached at 718-997-5676. Actual tutoring begins on February 14, but students should apply for "standing" weekly appointments as soon as possible because the Center follows a first-come, first-served policy. Please direct to the center the students you think need extensive assistance. Students who want help on a specific assignment or for a particular problem can stop by the Writing Center or call 718-997-5676 to schedule a one-hour drop-in session, or they can just walk in and hope that a tutor is available. Of course, it's best to arrange an appointment in advance. Students may also submit work online via our e-tutoring option, which also begins on February 14. To find out more about this service, as well as the Writing Center's philosophy, policies, and procedures, you can go to the Center's website, http://writingatqueens.qc.cuny.edu/the-writing-center/<http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001st9zDUKzbylJgliyBQvu089x_vyPXz6DhmZ-1jyy9GDg…>. The website can also be found by clicking Quick Links on the college's homepage, then clicking Writing at Queens on the menu that drops down. Once there, click on The Writing Center under Related Links.

Bridge to Enter Advanced Mathematics (BEAM), a project of the Art of Problem Solving Foundation, is seeking undergraduate students or recent graduates to be counselors and teaching assistants for a summer program that gives everyone a chance to excel in mathematics. During summer 2017, we will run two programs, a residential program on college campuses in the Hudson Valley, and a day program in New York City. At our residential program, counselors will live with the students in the campus dorms. At both programs, you'll create a vibrant social experience for kids who are discovering for the first time that there are other people who like doing mathematics; you'll also be a TA for classes on topics such as number theory, combinatorics, problem solving, and computer science. Be a role model and guide for students who are just beginning to set their educational path! Counselors must be strong mathematically, be reliable, and take initiative. They should be charismatic and able to help the kids have fun. All counselors must be at least 18 years old by July 9, 2017. Residential Program: Compensation: $2,600 for four weeks, plus room, board, and a transportation stipend. Location: Bard College and a second campus TBD Dates: July 6 to August 2, 2017 Non-residential Program: Compensation: $3,600 for six weeks, plus an unlimited MetroCard and breakfast/lunch on weekdays.
