Homeschool connection is essential to supporting the academic and personal growth of all students. This connection takes the work of educators, parents, volunteers, the entire community, such as the attitude of Gaston Gomez, who is making sure that some of our youngest learners get a great start in their school journeys. Through a bilingual instructional group held at glen, burnie regional library, it.

Is so important to reach out to these families because a lot of our families, especially Hispanic families, we are of low income or little resources. They don't have the opportunity to expose their children to other places or other families. So what I have decided is for them to have the exposure and also we increased literacy, which is very important, and so hopefully these families will be coming continue to control group and this children will be able to succeed in school and the goal is for us to close the achievement gap.

Ability to have these additional resources that are provided to us by the readers and leaders library project allows students to explore things of their own choosing to take a direction that they might not otherwise have the chance to take with a traditional classroom, setting they will be more able to or better able to take action in their communities based upon their learning. What we want is students to become so interested in what they're doing that they want to find out more about it and take some action to make things better in their world. The project.

B

Began over a year ago, when dick franjo owner boatyard, Bar and Grill in eastport suggested that the eSport community wanted to make a positive impact in their community school I like.

G

Doing things where we can make, we can do something good, but then someone can take that and shame someone else into doing it. So I said first of all, I know, eSport will do it and, secondly, maybe you could take that and go to other neighborhoods and say see what eSport did. Maybe you should do that so I, like things that you can scale eastport.

Plan to have the students in my class go around the building throughout the next couple weeks and share their projects with the different classes around the building, so that all students can be exposed to the information that my students learned in.

A lesson that plays off of the name mercaptan, which is a chemical used to smell. If there is gas in the air, the students became experts through a superhero-style graphic book to.

B

The community outreach effort to raise funds to bring digital technology to many classrooms. Local businesses, through the northern and Arundel Chamber of Commerce are vigorously working to help. Students have the necessary technological skills to be successful and more efficient students, so.

O

Far we're getting a lot of positive feedback not only from the teachers but from the students themselves, many of them, at least in the middle schools that we've dealt with, don't have the technology at home. So this way that they can keep up with the other kids in the class right.

P

Now my child development, two and three students are creating portfolios, that they will be able to use for future scholarships that they might apply for colleges and they will be able to digitally send their portfolios to the organization's rather than bring in a three inch binder with lots of papers all over.

Talked about several things in here, making good choices and making good decisions, but if you make a bad choice that don't compound it, we ask them to consider things that are just drinking and driving, not just drugs, but also speed and, as you heard today earlier, we're concerned about use of phone cell phones is now a big issue for us.
