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
Thought for the Day: The world needs more leaders right now. True leaders do not always look like movie moments. Leadership looks like simple practices in patiencs; it looks like quiet moments; it looks like kindness.-Esteban Gast from Character Strong #hornetsr2 #kindnessmatters
Join us as we encourage our students to engage in Character Strong Kindness activities over the next few weeks! Take pics and tag your posts #hornetsr2 and #kindnessmatters!
Week 1 Refections from Mrs. Forbes:
“Here is a picture of my workspace—what I’ve learned:
1. I really appreciate that when I’m in school, kids can ask questions face-to-face. It’s so much harder to help kids online. 2. I’ve learned that teaching online is more work than being in school. I would rather come to school everyday! Plus I miss my students!”—Mrs. Forbes
Teacher Reflections: Mrs. Adams
“Reflections from this week:
1. My students are amazing, and they have worked harder than I could have imagined to keep themselves moving forward.
2. Staring at screens all day is hard on the eyes. This pic is of me working on a “kitchen chemistry” lab experiment to share with students next week to “mix things up” a bit! 😊” —Mrs. Adams #hornetsr2
Teacher Reflections from Week 1:
“I’ve learned that my coworkers are amazing people! They are making sure students stay connected and on track and they have even helped me use technology to continue with enrollment for next year! I am blessed to be part of CHS!”—Mrs. Tipton #hornetsr2
Teacher Reflections on Week 1 from Mrs. Rule:
“Something I’ve learned about Flex learning: you need chocolate and a fluffy dog.” #hornetsr2
CHS Teacher Reflections: Mrs. Surber
“I'm missing the faces of my freshmen advisory so I asked them to check in with me and send video of something they are doing to stay sane....Hudson Corzette and Clayton Shanks are camping- in the Rain! And doing their schoolwork while camping! Both said they are done by 11am every day. How cool is that??” —Mrs. Surber

CHS Teacher Reflections Week 1: Mrs. Constant
"I am certainly learning a lot! Thanks to my English colleagues and Dr. Watkins, I have learned how to invite parents to see what he or her kiddos are doing on classroom! I have also learned that MOST of my students have been performing at a rock star level! I spend most of each day responding to student questions, and grading completed assignments!" --Mrs. Constant

Week 1 Reflections from CHS:
“I’ve learned this week that my students are rock stars! I also learned that I need to alter my email notifications... over 100 students x 5 notifications... 😳 I love that my ‘quiet’ students are now communicating so eloquently! ❤️” —Mrs. Wheeler

Reflections from Mrs. Dush:
“I am using Zoom to video conference and answer homework questions. Here are several Algebra A students talking through and practicing exponent properties.” —Mrs. Dush
#hornetsr2
Check out how Mrs. Kieffer is helping kids online this week!
“I am communicating through Remind with students who may need assistance.” —Mrs. Kieffer

Week 1 Reflections from Mrs. Marsh:
Mr. Roger's said, "When I was a boy and I would see scary things in the news, my mother would say to me, 'Look for the helpers. You will always find people who are helping.'" I am looking for the helpers and am finding them everywhere...from the group delivering meals to our students, to Mrs. Hill, my daughter's teacher, that is corresponding with her through videos. I am being reminded that our community is resilient and can tackle anything together! #hornetsr2
If you wonder if our teachers are still teaching, let me put your worries to rest! These teachers are #rockstars! 👇🏻
