Week 3 Reflection from Mrs. Dush:
Honestly I’ve lost track... time seems to be standing still. I just keep going through the motions. I’m losing track of what month... week... day it is. It’s easy to focus on the negatives. But sitting outside on my front porch this week, soaking in some sunlight, I was reminded that there are good things still happening.
In a world that is constantly telling me ”Don’t do this!”, I’m going to focus on what I can do. So... I’m going to hug my kids a little harder today. I’m going to intentionally reach out and try to make someone smile each day. Just like the spring flowers around my front porch that are breaking through the cold ground from a long winter, I’m going to choose to find the light.
Today's Spring Fever Reliever Challenge is "Mile Monday"!!!! Take some time to get some exercise! Walk, bike, jog . . . just get moving! Make sure you post to your favorite social media with #hornetsr2 or tag us on Twitter @HornetsCHS! #milemarkers #milemonday #socialdistancing

Students complete course requests for 2020-2021 online! Yep, we keep moving forward! #hornetsr2
The election must go on! Our student council members have become creative in how they campaigned and ran an election while completely following the social distancing rule. The officer candidates prepared speech videos which all member of student council saw prior to the Town Hall Meeting on Zoom. Members joined on Zoom to hear the candidates answer questions given by the moderator Callaway Chapman. The students then voted using Google forms for their new officers for next year. #hornetsr2
Week 2 Teacher Reflection from Mrs. Kennebeck:
“My teacher reflection is it is really really hard to be a special education teacher via telephone or email. But not giving up and hoping our students aren't giving up either...sending emails all day with simpler, easier to read directions and calling kids to check on them to see if they need help. Watching all classroom videos and lesson plans that I have access to so I can take notes and help a student better understand the content. Emailing teachers to work with them on goals. Sometimes that is an all day endeavor.....Keeping the lines of communication open is a must in our situation. We will endure!!”
Week 2 Reflection from Mrs. Tipton:
“Classroom presentations for enrollment are easier than digital presentations. Recording my voice on slides is no fun, but it works! I would much rather see student faces instead of talk to a screen! As I was wrapping up today, however, I was reminded about the Grit to Great assembly we had a few weeks before school was dismissed. Wow...we have so many students that are showing ‘grit’ right now. When this is over, I know they will be able to say, ‘It was hard, but I didn’t give up!’ I’m so proud to be part of CHS!” #hornetsr2 #grittogreat #yesyoucan
Week 2 Teacher Reflections from Mrs. Keller:
"1. Coffee tastes so much better at work. All along it must've been the friends-- not the coffee.
2. As soon as I saw my students' faces on Zoom, I had so much less worry. It was sooo good to see them.
3. After my first 3 Zoom meetings, I received the Inter-office memo on Zoom Etiquette. Oops! It's so hard to contain excitement when seeing students and colleagues!
4. Our district sure was on the ball with this online Distance Learning business. Other districts near and far are still dilly-dallying wondering what to do. Thank you, Mr. Nagel and Dr. Watkins and tech people.
5. Pets are living their best life right now!" #hornetsr2
Week 2 Teacher Reflection from Mrs. Forbes:
“I am so thankful for technology because it has allowed me to connect with my students even though we aren’t at school. I’ve been conferencing with kids about their rough drafts this week, so Zoom and the screen sharing option has saved my life. Even though we can’t be in the same room, this is definitely the next best thing!” #hornetsr2
Week 2 Teacher Reflections from Mrs. Duckworth
“I have learned to adapt my style of teaching from one that I see my students on an everyday basis to an online format. I love seeing my students and talking with them, and that is what I miss the most.
In my curriculum I was already utilizing a lot of online tools for my class, but this online situation has made it to where these are now essential for me to communicate with my students.
This week I decided to create a schedule and share it with the students of when I have "Live Lessons" utilizing zoom 2 times a week. This is open for everyone in those sections to join. Each time we meet we go over the material together so we can clear up any questions the students may have. Each time we meet we have a few more students join.
I send presentations out everyday with videos explaining the activity that is assigned for the day. I have found this helps the students who need someone to verbally say what it is they need to do.
I am amazed at the creativity and the drive the students have in their current situations. Our students don't give up...they strive to succeed. We are creating students who are taking ownership of their own learning and working hard to make sure they learn the content, not just pass a class.
Here is an example of how we learn during social distance. We completed a 25 question Jeopardy game that ended with a final jeopardy of the students finding a food in their home and writing 5 sentences about the food to try to sell it to me.“
What do you do when kiddos need help on homework? Take a cue from Mrs. Shipp and Zoom! Mrs. Shipp and students are video conferencing in small groups and one-on-one! She can share her screen, and they can see her model the problem and work through the students’ questions. One Algebra B student asked for refresher on some material, so Mrs. Shipp creates a review video lesson and sent to the class. Thank you to our students and teachers for being problem solvers and working together to continue to learn! #hornetsr2
Today was Advisory Check and Connect day! Here are some pics from Mrs. Wheeler and Mrs. Constant Zoom Advisory meetings!
“Teaching looks a little different these days, but it is so refreshing to see their faces, or in some cases their walls... We will keep connecting!”—Mrs. Wheeler

Week 1 Teacher Reflections from CHS: “What I've learned this week:
It's not about what's going wrong. It's about what's going right. Our district is working so hard to continue the education and engagement of our students and I think we will look back on this time and be so proud of ourselves. It would be so easy to just throw in the towel and take the easy path. Instead I feel like we have taken a "Rosie the Riveter" stance. We can do this. It is hard, but we aren't going to give up. #grit” — Ma. Figg #hornetsr2
