Celano’s Page: “Soaring to Know” Just as an eagle flaps its wings with great force to reach higher altitudes, we must stretch our minds in order to know more. As your teacher, I encourage you to think beyond the ordinary and to push yourself to work beyond “basic expectations” so that you learn more and as a result “soar to higher knowledge.” Some ways you can work on the skills of reading and writing are the following: Read something in addition to what we are reading in class every day. You could read a novel, a magazine article, a newspaper columns, on-line articles, etc. Just read, read, read! Don’t allow one day to go by without writing. Write a letter to a relative; type an email to a friend; keep a diary or a journal in which you capture important events of the days; write and explain one thing for which you are grateful each day. Just write, write, write! As always, let me know if I can help with your academic pursuits.
