Online HS Options - Student of the Month!
We are so pleased to introduce Rie Merriman as our October HS Online Options student of the month. As an eighth grade student at Port Gardner she has demonstrated what it means to be an exemplary online learner who sets the bar high not only for middle school but for all online learners in the district. Rie utilizes her stellar time-management skills to balance her sport and academic schedule maintaining an A in her Biology and the Environment class.
When asked the following 5 questions, this is what Rie had to say:
- What are your academic endeavors?
“I haven’t decided yet, but I’ll keep working hard and putting effort into my studies.
- What are your strengths?
“I am good at focusing on my schoolwork without getting distracted.”
- What sports or hobbies do you enjoy?
“I do fencing as a sport, and I enjoy drawing, crafting, and reading in my free time. I also like listening to music.”
- What would you like people to know about you?
“I have been fencing since I was 9 (I am 14 years old now). I am traveling a lot because of my tournaments. Sometimes it is really difficult to handle school and fencing, but I want to keep a good level for both of them, and I want to reach my goal.”
- What makes you a successful online learner?
“I like to look at upcoming assignments ahead and make a plan to complete each of them before the due date. Making a to-do list is very helpful.”
Did you...
- Arrange in numerical order?
- Verify all reader books are there? (Full list on the inside of the box.)
- Confirm the Teacher Guide and Discussion Guide paper folders are there?
- Once steps 1 - 3 are completed please return to the Library cart in the gym.
Thank you for your help!
Mrs. Johnson's students designed their own wooden tops to see how the patterns changes when spinning.
Students used doodle tops to study the path of a spinning top.
Students learn about the different forces applied to make an object spin - a push or pull, a wind or unwind.
Thank you Ms. Sherry for a wonderful luncheon!!
