The last thing I see before I sleep





This is the last thing I do before going to sleep every night of the school week. I took this picture after I turned off the lights, just before sleeping to make the point how necessary it is to make charging your electronic devices a part of your normal routine.   I make sure to plug in my laptop and iPad in the evening and remove the charge in the morning before heading off to school.

Gentlemen, I have stressed throughout the school year the importance of coming to class with your electronic equipment we use in class fully charged at the beginning of the day; moreover, I have made G210 available during both breaks to allow students to recharge their devices securely if necessary in order to be prepared for their classes. Please make sure to follow IAT's rules and regulations regarding the use of your electronic equipment, secure it during the school day and keep it charged for use during classes.

Reading Summaries

One of  our daily tasks is to spend 20 minutes reading books from ATHS' Learning Resource Center, more commonly known as the "library" and to write a report about the text we read during that time.  The summary of the daily reading should focus on the main idea that you read, and condensed or shortened to be approximately 3-5 sentences focusing on the setting, main characters, and the main action that occurred.  However, the summary that you write after you've read the entire book must be written with these minimum length requirements in mind; if your story was

20-100 pages long -10 sentences
100-150 pages long- 15 sentences
150-above- 20 sentences
