[Sharon Chung]

Hey All,

 

Here is the agenda for the study session this Wednesday.

Sorry for the delay!

Suzy is facilitating the discussion, which means she is doing ALL the readings:)

Therefore, Meejin and Rej, assigned readings are split in half for you two.

 

We strongly urge all the readings be completed prior to the study!

Please, just try to read all of the readings though!

 

I posted the agenda below.  It is also posted in the NYC resources folder.

Plese note the location of the study is at Columbia - Teacher's College again,

Betsy, thank you for reserving the room.

 

See you all Wednesday!

Hey all,

 

There was a mix-up w PST vs EST and unfortunately, Debby is not longer joining us for the study.

 

And as I am writing this, I am realizing that Meejin will not be at this study as well.

 

So Rej, oddly enough, it looks like it is just you as a "participant" as Suzy will be facilitating the study discussion.

 

So, as it is standard, just please get through all the readings as much as possible.

 

See you all on Wednesday!
