April 12 Fifteen Chicks Hatch

On this Easter day, we had 15 chicks hatch. Mrs. Cazarez had taken the incubator home and was able to observe the chickens hatching.  The chickens were brought back to HHS on April 21 and placed in one of the pens with a heat lamp. Note: 10 of the chickens went to Anothy "The Taco Man" on Monday, May 4.. Anthony is a part-time custodian for HHS and works at the district office.

New Chicks being checked out by the older chicks!



On another note, Mrs. Haver left 3 hampsters in room 1. As of April 25, we are up to 16 hamsters in the cage.

Sunday Fun....Bees


On Sunday 4-19 came across a birdhouse with some bees in it and decided to bring it home and open it up.  To see a close up of the bees check out minute mark 1:35 and for a swarm sound check out 5:45.

Thoughts

I have to admit I am disappointed in the student turnout on Zoom.  I have the faithful but my target was the masses. I understand this is a trying time, I get it. I just want to see students taking personal responsibility. I have set up distance learning meetings on Zoom if you cannot make the meeting time I hope that next time you will simply send me an email and say I cannot make it.

I know of a few students who have picked up extra work to help with family finances, I applaud your actions, that is very mature of you. 

I would simply like students to check in with me someway. Options that I see are....Send me an email
Roger_connor@upland.k12.ca.us, respond over a Google Classroom assignment,  attend a Zoom meeting.

We have seven weeks left together in this quarter, school ends June 11, 2020. Let's make the best of it.

Project # 9 Zoom Meeting/Kahoot! Friday 4-16 @1 PM

Project #9 Zoom Meeting Friday at 1:00 PM.
If you have not used zoom you can learn about it at https://zoom.us/
This will be the class's 4th zoom meeting. Also for this meeting, I would like you to check out the site https://kahoot.it/

1. So here is how it works. I would like the student to enter the zoom meeting using either a computer, Chromebook or tablet. If you enter zoom with your phone it will be harder to participate in the Kahoot! game. You are welcomed to try to be using both Zoom and Kahoot! on your phone at the same time. But what I would prefer is that you are on the computer in Zoom and your phone with Kahoot! It's not that hard, I used my brother (the other Mr. Connor at HHS) he was able to do it.

So computer or tablet or Chromebook for Zoom
Your phone for Kahoot!
You can play both Zoom and Kahoot on a computer or Chromebook - You would have two windows open at the same time side by side.

For the Zoom meeting.....

Mr. R Connor is inviting you to a scheduled Zoom meeting.

Topic: Mr. R Connor's Zoom Meeting - Play Kahoot

Project #8. Zoom Meeting - Tuesday April 14 @ 2 PM

 I have been informed that a few students are unable to access their Google Accounts. So I will post the class work here for each class. All classes will be doing Project #8

Project #8

Some of you may have seen my earlier announcement stream where I talked about Google Meet. I have been informed we are not ready to use Google Meet just yet as a district and I have been directed by our principal to stay with Zoom. With that news I am asking then that we continue with Zoom. If you have not already done so I will need for you to sign up for and/or download the app Zoom for your phone, tablet or computer. My bother, Mr. D Connor figured it out and he is a non tech guy. Here is the link to Zoom. Zoom.....

Once you have signed in or downloaded the app please plan on attending my Zoom get together tomorrow Tuesday April 14 @ 2 PM. To enter the meeting all you will need to do is click on the link below, or the link in Project #8.

The purpose of the meeting is to check in with one another and talk about the new quarter that just started today. 4th Quarter goes from April 13 to June 11th.

Zoom meeting will be Project #8. This Zoom meeting will count towards your grade, so please make an attempt. In our last Zoom meeting most said they would rather do the Zoom than an assignment. Hope to see you all there. Here is the meeting code to get into the meeting.

Easter/Spring Holiday

I hope everyone has been enjoying Spring Break.  Class will be back in session Monday April 13, 2020.  Hope to see you all then!

We caught an image of a predator who wanted into the chicken coop two nights ago. Not a great shot. I will be repositioning the camera angle in the nights to come.
