I have been very happily married to my wife, Allison, for 3 years, and we welcomed our son, Logan, 17 months ago. Our little man is quite the "travieso" (mischievious one) and keeps us on our toes and very busy with swim lessons, music classes, and Sid the Science Kid! Together with our 10 year old Beagle/Bassset Hound, Dora (I let my students at the time help me name my puppy), we live near Allentown, PA. I look forward to continuing to work with everyone at Mosaica and helping our students succeed.
Thank you Eric- we appreciate you so very much!

For the First Week of November we are going to practice the art technique
of Zentangle! Zentangle is a word that describes, the use of lines,
shapes and patterns drawn in a set of shapes or abstract forms. Zentangle
is basically a fancy way to Doodle!

TEACHER TIP OF THE WEEK!
- Teachers must finish inputting all PSAP information by the end of today (Friday, Nov. 8th). Please be sure to get this completed before the end of the day.
- If you teach any Ohio students, please stress the importance of attendance logs with them. They need to be putting in 30-36 hours per week, but we have noticed multiple students are not coming close to this amount of time.
- Our next Enrichment Day is Wed, Nov. 20th, and it will take place in the Paragon classes. No work should be assigned in other subjects on this day.
- Learning Environment tip - Please make sure that all of your students can view their final calculated averages in the course gradebook. You will know that a student can see his average if he has the "open eye" icon next to his grade. Don't forget to release the averages for new students when they enter your class. (To release the final average, click on the drop-down arrow at the top of the "final calculated grade" column. Select "Grade All". Select all of your students and then click on "Release/Unrelease" to give them access to their averages. If you need help doing this, please contact your instructional coordinator.)
