Support

This site (& Ms H) are here to help EMPOWER you in your learning.

A mindset is the most important aspect in your learning process.

Motivate yourself to do your best and stay on the right track. Mistakes help you learn and are a tool to show what you do not understand yet. You will improve with practice.

You can learn anything as long as you TRY ... hence chemisTRY. Are you ready to embrace the challenges?!



Support for Students

Congratulations on giving yourself ways to improve on your learning. Don't take this simple step for granted ... that takes a lot of self reflection and inner power. Listed below are links, reminders, and ways to support yourself.


  • Look over your observations, work, and notes in your notebook especially when examples with thought process are listed

  • Reread that section on CODE.org OR the uploaded notes from the class calendar

  • Use codeacademy for programming support ... do the FREE version for explaining different program sections

  • Contact classmates in Google Classroom to discuss HOW to work on problem - don't go for a quick answer but understand HOW to get the answer

  • Come get support - Zoom meeting, come in at lunch, or make an after school appointment

  • Tech issues: cleaning cache video; reset password link

  • Remember to stay with the debugging cycle

*Walk away for a few minutes

*Relook at symbols on the left that give you a notice that something on that line is a problem

*Look at the syntax of your code for little differences that mean a huge difference in the code, not the idea

  • AP Playlist Videos - Great for reviewing main topics before the AP test ... but pace yourself so you can review

Parent Support

Thank you for taking the time to support your student! Please help us empower your student in their learning process instead of enabling them with an answer. This is never an easy task and one that teachers are always balancing between. Listed below are some supports for you to help your student.

  • Remind your student that they can ask Ms H for help: in person help, email, text, or get a zoom meeting

* You can always email Ms H and ask for good questions in a unit

* All notes are digitally accessible through the class calendar for you as well as your student

  • Your student has access to CODE.org which is their digital textbook including helpful hints

  • Listed on the left are ideas for students to use - I hope they learn these ideas now to empower themselves to learn beyond this class

  • Ask your student EMPOWERING questions:

*How did your teacher OR CODE start addressing this problem?

*Explain to me the steps you need to take in order to solve this problem?

*What portion of the problem is confusing you? If it is vocabulary, what does that term mean?

*What do the symbols on the left say when you hover over them? What direction is that symbol trying to show you?

*What are the common mistakes on this type of problem discussed in class?

*Is one of your classmates not doing their part? Have you given them a timeline for their part?


Keep moving forward!

Hurting the computer will not program it faster - just annoy you more.

You can do this!

Always stay POSITIVE like a PROton!
