Attendance and the LAST Assignment

Good Morning Chemistry,
 
You have made it, the end of school is in sight.  I will take attendance this Friday at 2.  I will mark you present if you submit an assignment, email me, and/or comment on the post in GC.
 
I am sorry our school year was cut short.  I admire all of you for hanging in there during this difficult time.  It will get better.  I read an article from an Italian doctor today who insists that he is noticing the virus becoming less deadly.  Hopefully this thing is mutating in a beneficial direction for the human race.
 
I hope you all get to have a somewhat normal summer and I look forward to saying hi next year face to face!
 
Thanks for all of your hard work throughout the school year, whether you like Chemistry or not, I appreciate your effort at good cheer and critical thinking :)

Attached you will find COVID15!
 
Enjoy your long weekend :)

Good Morning Chem,
 
Attached is your new assignment about acids and bases.  I have also posted it in the GC.

I hope everyone is getting comfortable wearing their masks outside :)

COVID13 and Attendance

Hello Chem,
 
Attached is your next assignment, COVID13.  Good job to all of you who continue to do work!  It's never to late to turn something in.  Tomorrow I will begin evaluating your work again, I've been busy with AP Chem.  Their exam was today.  I wish you all the best of luck who are preparing for ap exams.  Actually, the best of luck to everybody in dealing with this difficult shelter at home!
 
I will take attendance tomorrow at 2 pm.  You will be marked present if you email me, submit an assignment on GC, or comment on the GC stream.
 
Take care all of you, try to stay positive, this won't last forever :)

Due:

Hello Chem Students,
 
I have posted a new assignment and new comment thread on the GC.
 
I will take attendance on Fri May 15 at 2 pm.  You will be marked present if you email me, submit an assignment to GC, and/or comment on the GC post.  
 
Thank you!

No More Canvas and COVID11

Hello Chem,
 
I have unpublished the Canvas site, we will not be working there for the duration of the school year.
 
For tomorrow's attendance I will count you present if you comment on the stream in GC (even if it's "no opinion"), turn in an assignment in GC, or email me.
 
Attached is COVID11, it is also in the GC.
 
Good luck to all of you preparing for AP exams and to everybody, do something helpful for your Mom on Sunday :)  

Due:

COVID10 in Google Classroom

Good Morning Chem,
 
I have added a new book assignment on google classroom, as well as posting it here.  Please take a photo of your handwritten answers and submit.  There is an easy way to do it that I wasn't aware of!!  Get the mobile app for Google Classroom!  When you click at the bottom "Your Work" you can add a file, choose photo, and take a photo using the app.  Sorry I wasn't aware of that at the beginning, electronic submissions are new to me :)    At least you know another way of doing it by emailing the photo to yourself.  It's a learning process for all of us.
 
I will start grading work again this afternoon.  I have been spending a tremendous amount of time with AP Chem.  Any of you taking an AP exam know that the technical issues associated with testing are real and AP Chem will need to photograph and submit handwritten answers.  Do you have any questions about AP testing?  Email me, I have been studying the testing guide for the last 5 days!!
 
Stay cool and have a good day!

Due:

Grades and Discussion Thread

Good Morning Chem,
 
I hope this finds you all doing fine.  I have posted a discussion thread on the google classroom about how we should proceed from here.  Leaving a comment will count for your attendance next week.
 
I'm submitting grades today, as of March 13.  I used attendance for March 4 - 13 to determine your citizenship grade.  I used your joining of google classroom or logging on to Canvas for your attendance this week.
 
Have a good "weekend" and try to stay positive.  I miss you all (yes, really!)
 
Questions, concerns, thoughts about all of this, email me :)

Due:

Canvas

Hello Chemistry Students,
 
Good job to everyone who has joined the google classroom and submitted work.  I will begin grading and giving credit this afternoon.  Not joined yet?
classroom.google.com   join code  w3bhxij      Also, get the app Camscanner.  Easy to use for taking photos of work and submitting!
 
For the next 6 weeks all of your assignments will be on Canvas.  The district has created lessons about climate science.  We can at least do the first week and then evaluate together whether you would rather have book assignments like I've already done or continue with the district stuff.
 
I'm anticipating some problems today!!  The only luck I'm having is using Chrome as my browser, explorer and firefox are not functioning well at all.
 
As far as I can tell it looks like you sign in with your district user/password and it takes you to your dashboard, which shows all your classes.  The Chem 2 curriculum should appear.  Everything that you complete I will receive and respond to.
 
OK, let's give this thing a try.  Email me with questions/concerns, [email protected], we will do our best.  And.... don't email me with your "district" email, when I responded to one Saturday, (Gerry), it bounced back.  Use a gmail or a yahoo or something else, but not your sandi.net.
 
Stay safe, thank goodness it has cooled off!!!

More Canvas

Hello Chem Students,
 
I'm glad to see that many of you were able to navigate to Canvas,  https://sandiegounified.instructure.com
 
Thanks to all who are emailing me, it's the only way for me to help you troubleshoot.
1.3, those questions are thought questions.    1.5 In order to submit you have to click the blue "submit assignment" button first, then you get the text box that allows you to respond.
 
Some of you are frustrated with the submission format in the google classroom.  Download the free app, Camscanner, it makes it really easy to photograph with your phone, then access their website with your computer, to get your photo (or pdf) to submit.
 
Email me with any concerns or questions that you have.

Due:

w3bhxij

Hello Chem students,
 
It looks like we have a functioning google classroom!
 
Please join at  classroom.google.com     join code  w3bhxij
 
This is where you will turn in the work that I have already assigned from the book.  Email me with any concerns/questions you have.  I have not assigned anything new, I just posted the old assignments one more time.  It's ok if you printed out the pdf and wrote directly on the paper like a worksheet, OR, answered the questions on a separate sheet of paper.  You are going to photograph your work and upload it.  Look at the directions for COVID1.  I don't want any typed answers.
 
Starting on Monday we will be doing assignments on Canvas.  But you can turn in the old assignments (COVID 1-9) until June 1 on the google classroom.  More instructions about Canvas on Monday.
 
Have a good weekend and stay healthy!

Please join    w3bhxij
 
Again, please spread the word to anyone in period 1 or 6.
 
Email me if there are issues, I'm keeping my fingers crossed!  [email protected]

Hello Students,
 
I hope this finds you all well and coping with staying home.  
 
Attached is your next assignment.  I have decided to use Canvas as your way of turning assignments in to me.  It is similar to google classroom except that you log in using your powerschool ID and password.  I will give you more information about that next week.  For now, keep working!!
 
Hang in there, again try to be helpful :)

Assignment

Good Morning Chem,
 
I will be uploading two assignments this week, Tuesday and Thursday.  I will continue to assign two until April 27.  After that I will be giving you four assignments per week for the rest of the school year.  Until April 27, I will not be asking you to turn in these assignments, but.... anything that you do right now you can use as a substitute later.  For example,
COVID#1 can be used in place of any assignment after April 27.  If you end up not having to use them as a substitute I will give you extra credit for turning them in!
 
More on the mechanism of turning in work as we get closer to April 27.  If you don't have a computer or internet connection MAKE SURE you check out a laptop from San Diego Unified.  Click the link on PLHS homepage.  You can pick up a computer, with an installed wifi hotspot, on April 9 at San Diego High School.
 
Email me with any questions.  Hang in there, this is a tough time!

Assignment

Hello Chemistry Students,
 
I am signing off for spring break.  I will still be checking my email.  So far I have given you four assignments.  Eventually you will be responsible for turning them in to me, I just haven't figured out how yet!
 
Hang in there with this challenging time we find ourselves in.  I cannot emphasize enough how important it is for you to stay home.  I hope you are all doing ok.
 
Take care,
Ms Graham

Hi Chemistry,
 
The attached pdf is most likely the format of the work that you will do for the duration of the year.
After spring break there will be a method to turn your work in.
For now, write answers on a separate sheet of paper or print it like a worksheet.
 
Stay home!!!  Try to be helpful
