CHECK-INS Just a reminder that I need 2 check-ins from you in one week. Either one face-to-face and one email, or two emails. These count for your student's attendance. Students can also send in their own check-ins through OdysseyWare or Accelerate Ed.

WHAT IS FACE-TO-FACE CLASS? Face-to-face class is an optional activity for your student to come to HOA with their peers and experience a mini school day. We have recess, work on group projects, and eat lunch together. The main emphasis is generally science, but the best part about this activity is the opportunity for social interaction in a safe classroom setting. We start out with a quiet activity and ease into "class" with a class meeting where we will talk about the day and get to know one another better. The middle chunk of our time is taken up by group projects and recess. We end our time together with lunch and a teacher read-aloud. This year, I will be reading The Lion the Witch and the Wardrobe. I really hope that your student(s) participates in this fun activity, plus you get a little break as well!
MUSIC UPDATE We have been unable to find a qualified candidate to be our music teacher at HOA this year. At this time, we have decided to put the music program on hold until we can come up with a creative solution. In the meantime, a program that we recommend for students that are interested in singing is the Hillsboro Community Youth Choir. We are continuing to look into ideas for music at HOA, but if you have any ideas or know of any music teachers (must be state certified) looking for a (very) small job, please let us know.
FIELD TRIP SAVE THE DATE! Our next field trip is Thursday, November 17. We will be going to Fort Vancouver. I can only take 7 adults, so please let me know ASAP if you want to come. The time commitment will be roughly 10:00am-1:00pm.
