It is graduation week! :) Graduation will be held on Friday, June 12, 2020 at 6pm on YouTube. I encourage everyone to watch the virtual graduation to support our Seniors. We have a total of 8 Seniors this year--4 from Mrs. Hummell's class and 4 from Mrs. Mackonya's class.
Graduating Seniors (Mrs. Hummell's class) Michael Popa Rose Pitney Utkarsh Pathak Chris Jeong I want to extend a VERY large CONGRATULATIONS to all our Seniors. I am so very proud of each of you!!! I know this year has been tough, but I also know that each of you are strong and will move on to do doing AMAZING things at the ACT program and in life. THANK YOU for being my students and teaching me how to best teach all of you!!! Mrs. H :) 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!! :) Mrs. H Hello families and students!
I have some exciting news to share!!! News 2 You now provides you access to the weekly stories and games that we have played in class!!!! All you need to do is log in to your News 2 You account (also L3 Skills) and choose "News 2 You" (it looks like a newspaper). I have already selected your level. If you click on the "?" or speaker, then it will read it to you as well!!! Please look for the 'assignments' in the weekly PPT or PDF. Happy learning! Only 4 weeks left of school! Even less for our Seniors!!! :) 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. 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 :) Please follow the link below to complete the Parent Survey regarding needs and priorities for your student during remote learning. Please respond at your earliest convenience. Thank you!
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! Mrs. H :) 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:
Link to Website is below.
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 :) This post is an "extra" post for the week to focus on "staying fit at home". Special Olympics of WA is hosting a new challenge that starts TOMORROW, May 4, 2020. The information is below. I will be integrating some of these activities and links into the weekly PPT assignments that will be going out soon! I also will include the following information in the weekly e-mail.
· Request access to the private Facebook Group we’ve set up specifically for the Stay Fit Challenge. · Download the weekly Stay Fit Tracking Sheets keep a record of your activity (reminder: challenges change every week!) o You can also draw your own sheet if you prefer! o If any athlete requires printed copies, they can request them from dnorton@sowa.org · Grab an exercise mat or rug, your water bottle, and a chair or other sturdy object to lean against. · Share your progress by submitting the online survey each week for a chance to be featured on the leaderboard! Stay safe, healthy, and fit! Mrs. H :) |
