"Words are singularly the most powerful force available to humanity. We can choose to use this force constructively with words of encouragement, or destructively using words of despair. Words have energy and power with the ability to help, to heal, to hinder, to hurt, to harm, to humiliate and to humble."
—Yehuda Berg
My classes are hybrid, so they are partially digital. However, students will also receive instruction and assignments in person throughout the school year. Important papers are on colored paper; these should not be thrown away and will be stored in their folder or portfolio.
Just remember: if it's bright, it shouldn't leave your sight!
