My name is Mr. DeGennaro and I would like to welcome all of you. I know this year will be a positive and productive year for each student. I will help make sure each student maximizes their potential to allow for success academically and personally.
The three goals I strive for in this classroom to ensure
that you…
q have
a positive learning experience.
q develop
the necessary skills to succeed as a student and as an active citizen in the 21st
century.
q have
a learning experience that is safe, varied, enjoyable, and rigorous.
Classroom Snapshot:
Inquiry Learning—Students will take an active part in their
learning through the use of inquiry. Inquiry will require students to conduct
active reading, annotate sources, and analyze essential questions, which will
in turn allow them to form well-supported hypotheses.
Discussion—Through discourse in the classroom, students will
have the opportunity to engage their peers and teacher in thoughtful dialogue
on concepts/ideas. In turn, discussion will contribute to their development as
listeners and learners in the classroom and beyond.
Hands-on Activities—Students will be engaged in
numerous hands-on activities throughout the course of the semester. In taking part in hands-on assignments
students will have the opportunity to synthesize and apply concepts in a
creative fashion that will aid in the retention of skills and material
