NEW TO THE WEEKLY
BULLETIN…THE ANSWER IS IN THE ROOM
Each week, Mr. Kearns and Ms. Paz will work with
colleagues from all over the building to share out instructional best practices
with one another. Each week will focus
on a different instructional topic connected to our Problem of Practice.
Here are some highlights of the best practices
shared after the last round of intervisitations; all are focused on DIFFERENT METHODS OF SCAFFOLDING.
In the Science Department, Ms. Herrick created graphic organizers and exit tickets to facilitate students' understanding of experimental design.
In the Science Department, Ms. Herrick created graphic organizers and exit tickets to facilitate students' understanding of experimental design.
In the Math Department, Ms. Dye and Ms. La Tanza used partially
completed proofs with various levels of difficulty to emphasize vertical
angles and the reflexive property.
In the Social Studies Department, Ms. Looser created a scaffolded handout to
teach The Articles of Confederation to her self-contained 9th grade students.
She includes images, scaffolded questions, and a challenge task.
In the English Department, Ms. Eisenberg tiered reading passages,
and use texts that students are likely familiar with to teach her 10th grade
students the literary element "point of view"
In the CTE Department, Mr. Carranza used very
general questions that all students could answer, which created a strong sense
of participation among students. Gradually, Mr. Carranza asked more specific
questions. He then used a Venn diagram to have students organize all of the key
similarities and differences between fashion in the 1910's & 1920's. This
visual aid allowed for students to have a strong understanding of which
characteristics belonged to the corresponding decade and provided them with an
informational reference when designing their creative look inspired by the time
period.

best practice, send it to Ms. Paz at SPaz@schools.nyc.gov or Mr. Kearns at kkearns@schools.nyc.gov
PBIS
CALL TO ACTION
● WHERE DID THE TIME GO? END OF THE 2ND MARKING PERIOD
COMING SOON
The second marking period ends
next week on December 6 – please make sure your students know; explain
cumulative grading once again; and make the necessary National Honor Society referrals.
● CONTACT PARENTS YOU DID NOT SEE AT CONFERENCES & NEED TO SEE!
It is important to get in touch
with the parents that you needed to see and did not see at Parent-Teacher
conferences.
● IMPORTANT HOLIDAY REMINDERS
(1) Many of our students do their
holiday shopping at our FLY school store – make sure you are giving out Fashion
Dollars every class, every day
(2) The holidays are a sensitive time
for many people, young and old, if you see a dramatic change in mood or
behavior, fill out a Guidance referral
(3) Let a counselor or supervisor
know if you see a student without a warm coat as they enter or leave the
building
(4) Secure your personal and DOE
valuables in your classrooms and offices
OPERATIONAL
NEED TO KNOW
● CHECK YOUR DOE & HSFI EMAILS EVERYDAY
● HSFI STAFF HOMEPAGE LINK - https://sites.google.com/a/hsfi.us/hsfi-staff-portal/
● MESSAGE FROM THE GRAPHICS &
ILLUSTRATION DEPT. – ADOBE EXAMS BEING ADMINISTERED
The CTE department has begun administering the Adobe
Photoshop certification exam to all Senior Graphics & Illustration
students. The exam runs longer than 45
minutes unfortunately. We will be giving this exam weekly on Thursdays until
most of the students in the Advanced Digital Photography class have been given
a chance to pass the certification. Students will be given a late pass to 5th
or 8th period if they have taken the exam the period prior. Thanks for your understanding, please allow
the student to make up any missing work.
● RECYCLE USED PRINTER CARTRIDGES TO BENEFIT
THE GLEN SEARS SCHOLARSHIP FUND
Please return your used printer cartridges
that will go towards the Glen Sears scholarship fund. The more we return, the more money that goes
toward the scholarships in June. To
date, we have returned approximately 40 tons of used cartridges. There is
no doubt that any other city high school even comes close to that! Used printer cartridges should be returned to
Room 244. They can be left outside Room 244 before 3pm if the
door is locked.
● COLLEGE RECOMMENDATION DEADLINE
INFORMATION
There are many colleges that have December 1st deadlines. Please make sure if you are writing a
recommendation for a student who has a deadline of December 1st, that you
submit all documents necessary (recommendations, common app teacher evaluation)
no later than November 28th. This will
allow the counselors to send off all documents by December 1st.
● HSFI SHIRTS
If you are interested in
purchasing one of these HSFI shirts with your name embroidered on the front,
please fill out the form that was placed in your mailbox – we need more
customers to get the best price. The
cost depends on how many staff sign up - 24.00 from 36 - 72 shirts / 22.00 from
72-143 / 20.00 from 144+.
