LEGO ROBOTICS The first session of Lego Robotics (formerly known as Coding Club) is currently full, but I am making a Wait List. Please reply back for your student if you would like them to be placed on the Wait List.
ENGINEERING CLUB This is a NEW club! On Thursdays from 10:00-11:00, starting in October, we will have Engineering Club led by parent, Michael Thompson with Mrs. Harrington, for grades 3-8. Merriam-Webster defines engineering as “the application of science and mathematics by which the properties of matter and the sources of energy in nature are made useful to people.” Students will learn about engineering by completing design challenges and activities. We will also be introducing the use of engineering notebooks, personal protective equipment, and technical writing.
ROOM PARENT If you are interested in being a room parent for Monday's Face-to-Face class (3rd-4th grade) or Tuesday's Face-to-Face class (5th-6th), please email Angela Lorenzo at [email protected].
OREGON BATTLE OF THE BOOKS We are so close to getting an OBOB team started at HOA! We have had two parents step forward as being helpers, but we are still looking for a team leader. If you are interested in helping lead, please let me know.
SPECIAL PROJECTS/END OF THE UNIT TESTS I have put together a project list and rubrics for the Special Project option at the end of each unit in OdysseyWare. In addition, I have recently added a third option for the end of each unit. If a student has received a cumulative score of over 90% for the unit, they can skip the end of the unit Special Project or Test. Just have the student send me a message in OdysseyWare and I will manually skip it for them. The project list and rubrics are found in the FORMS section of my website, mrskellar.weebly.com.
MRS. KELLAR'S OFFICE HOURS I am here at HOA Monday-Thursday from 8:00-3:00. If you have concerns or questions, please email me and we can set up a time to meet. Pop-ins are generally not encouraged as there is no guarantee that I will be available or at my desk.
