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 in your textbook OR the uploaded notes from the class calendar
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
Review examples online - FOCUS on thought process, not answers with CrashCourse; Khan Academy; Herrington's YouTube; ChemCollective Tutorials
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 should have a textbook which will have main topics defined with examples
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 start solving a problem like this?
*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 units of the question tell you must be included in solving this problem?
