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
#hornetsr2
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

Check out how Mrs. Kieffer is helping kids online this week!

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! 👇🏻
