Happy Numbers--Math Learning

6/1/2020

0 Comments

 
We have a NEW learning platform for Math called "Happy Numbers". This was originally in addition to ixl Math, but since there have been some technical difficulties, Happy Numbers is now taking place for independent work time for the remainder of the school year. 
I am sending the link and passwords to each student/family. Please look for the e-mail! It is VERY easy to navigate. Your student will do a type of assessment as soon as he/she logs in, then it will provide activities to work on the skills that your student specifically needs.

NOTE: I set the "grade" to "Grade 1" for the class (it will not let me choose multiple grade levels). This MAY make questions either simple or difficult for your student. I believe it will adapt to your student's current level as he/she completes the initial assessment.

Please don't hesitate to contact me if you have additional questions/concerns. Enjoy Math learning!! :)

Student E-mail!

5/19/2020

0 Comments

 
That's right....I said STUDENT E-MAIL! Every student in the Issaquah School District now has an e-mail! The e-mail can be accessed through Office 365. The login is the student's school login (first four letters of last name, first 3 letters of first name, graduation year--hummren20--and then @issaquah.wednet.edu) An example would be hummren20@issaquah.wednet.edu. The password is either the usual password OR a password that your student has created. Click below to watch a student friendly video. Also below is a link to the Secondary Digital resources provided on the ISD Website.
Student Friendly Video
Secondary Digital resources
Students will receive e-mails for invitations to TEAMS meetings. Please also have your student (if able) use this e-mail to e-mail teachers. I would LOVE to hear from your student--have him/her send me an e-mail! :)

Please don't hesitate to contact me if you have any questions or concerns.
Take care,
​Mrs. H :)

Post BEAUTIFUL Mother's Day weekend

5/11/2020

0 Comments

 
I hope everyone had a wonderful Mother's Day weekend and spent some time outside enjoying the sunshine. I was thankful to get 3 yards of topsoil and work out in our yard all day with my family! Garden pictures to come (eventually).

On to this week--weekly assignments are posted under "online resources". A few new slides this week (both located at the END of the presentation)--"Just for Fun" and "Daily Check-out". The "Just for Fun" are activities that your student may enjoy and most can be done independently; this is NOT REQUIRED. The "Daily Check-out" IS REQUIRED. Please have students complete it EVERY DAY. This will give me an idea of what your student did for the day and if I can help in any way.
If your student is having trouble accessing Websites or learning platforms, PLEASE let me know so we can work together. I can "show" you/your student how to access sites by having a meeting in Microsoft teams and sharing my screen.

Also, please be sure to check on TEACHER WEBSITES for assignments. Every teacher should be updating the Website for his/her class at least weekly. Here is the link to Ms. McIlwain's Website
 https://mcilwainc.weebly.com/ 

And lastly, a survey for parents/families will be going out on WEDNESDAY, 5/13/20. The survey will have questions about priorities for YOUR student and family until the end of the school year, specifically to create personalized Continuous Learning Plans (CLPs). Please look out for this e-mail with survey and complete as soon as possible.

Until next time, stay safe and take care!

Here is information from a Website about online vocational exploration. 
​
Learn About Real Jobs and Careers from Employers across Washington
Join Industry Leaders for a Series of Online Discussions — With Live Q & A’s!
Every School Day in May                                      Live and Online at 3:30pm
Every day at 3:30 pm, starting May 4th, students can engage in 30-45 minute live sessions hosted via Zoom and live streamed on YouTube. Students will hear about Washington-based jobs that might align with their interests and goals, and engage in employer-created challenges.
Information and recordings of previous discussions will be posted here: https://www.careerconnectathome.org/
Each week, sessions will have a different theme, and different companies will share information about their jobs and answer students’ questions.
Here’s the breakdown of each week’s theme:
  • Week 1 (May 4 – May 8): Technology and Information
  • Week 2 (May 11 – May 15): Manufacturing, Construction, Energy
  • Week 3 (May 18 – May 22): Entrepreneurship and Start-ups
  • Week 4 (May 25 – May 29): Education, Health Care, Government, Non-profits
    (note: no session on Memorial Day, Monday, May 25)
Employers will receive coaching and assistance from former teachers to develop their content to ensure it is engaging and relevant for 7th-12th grade students. To ensure safety, students will access the sessions each day via a live YouTube link. Only employer hosts will have access to the audio and video stream, secured by unique login credentials for each day’s session.

5/4-5/8 Remote Learning

5/5/2020

0 Comments

 
We are up and running with remote learning! YAY! Here are a few points about the remote learning for this week:
*Weekly assignments are posted under "Online Resources" tab in a PDF format
*Click on the links provided to go to the assignment
*Raz Plus, Boom Cards, and L3 take data of your students work ONLINE.
*Students DO NOT have to do ALL the work everyday. This is a guide for the day. Some students will be able to do lessons and activities independently, while others may need more 1:1 assistance.
*Students that are only in 1 or 2 of my classes (i.e. Vocational, Independent Living) can pick what they would like to do, but I recommend focusing on Community and Vocational.
*ALL students should at least do the Social/Emotional Health activities. This is essential for everyone (including myself)!
*The Physical activity assignments are ONLY suggestions/recommendations. Most students have other PE assignments, but are more than welcome (and encouraged) to participate in the Special Olympics "Stay Fit at Home".
*To turn-in assignments---files can be uploaded into Microsoft Teams (in the general channel or private channels that I have created for students--I am working on relaying this information to families). The other option is to send it as an attachment to my e-mail.

NOTE: I have decided to change my office hours to Tuesday 9-11am and Thursday 12-2pm. I took out Wednesday because I would like to leave it open for individual meetings with families and students (like Monday's).

Like always, do not hesitate to contact me if you have questions, concerns, and/or suggestions!
Take care!
Mrs. H :)

    Welcome and hello! This is my 2nd year teaching LRCII at Skyline High School. Go Spartans!!! :)

    A little about me~I have been a certificated teacher since 2003 and received my Master's in Education; Special Education in 2013. I originally started teaching students with moderate to severe disabilities at the elementary level, but moved to the Issaquah School District and high school (eeek!) in 2018. I LOVE high school!!! I have a husband (10 years married!) and 3 wonderful girls, Asia (18), London (9), and Ireland (4). In my "spare time" I enjoy scrap-booking, reading, anything 80s, sewing, and gardening.

    I am SO excited for this school year and all of the fun learning that is in store for students in the LRCII program!
