6th Six Weeks

Happy beginning of the final six weeks of the 2020 school year!

I finished inputting grades from the first two weeks of the 5th six weeks, before going to spring break. That’s a that is counting for this grading period. Please know that you ARE ABLE TO COMPLETE MISSING WORK to bring that grade up if necessary. Ask me If you are interested.

Grading for the 6th 6 weeks will be different. If you are doing the work satisfactorily, you will get an S. If it’s not satisfactory, you get an N. If you don’t attempt it, you get an I.

  • S = 100
  • N = 69
  • I = Incomplete and you’ll have to make it up or it becomes a failing grade.

PAAVTC, Audio/Video 1 & 2, Graphic Design 1 & 2 – you should be working on your Adobe Spark Journal with 3 entries per week, for a total of 12 by the end of this week. Each week you need to punish and share to copy that link and paste it into the Canvas Assignment. That’s the only way I know you’re done. Posts can be videos, photos, drawings, poems, and your words about what you are doing, thinking and feeling during this time.

Audio/Video 2, Graphic Design 2 – in addition to the journal, you are working on Adobe certification test prep. You can look up the instructions for it in the 2nd week of at home learning.

Computer Science Principles – you are working on lessons 3 – 5 in Code.org this week.

  • Lesson 3 is extremely timely and important at this point in time. Make sure you spend time reading through the articles and watching the videos in bubble 1.
  • Lesson 4 is a one pager on Data Innovations. Pay attention to Data as it’s important for your Explore PT.
  • Lesson 5 is more research on Data concerns.

You’ll save the activities as PDF files and turn in to the Canvas assignments.

Zoom meetings aren’t necessary this week. However, if you have questions you email me at or call/text me. You can find my info on the Canvas posts.

Zoom Meeting Week 1

I was so glad to be able to talk with so many of you this morning. I know that some of you had conflicting meetings with other CTE classes, and others had conflicting meetings with your pillow, but I hope you’ll get into a routine here soon so that all of you are meeting on Wednesday mornings. We won’t necessarily meet every Wednesday, so I’ll send out an email and Canvas Announcement when we do.

Here’s a recap of this week’s meetings:

Here’s the district’s Zoom schedule – those of you who are sleeping until noon or later should work on getting back on schedule. Just sayin’! 🙂
