Hello! I hope everyone is having a great summer. As I am preparing for the new school year I am changing my website. Check back soon to see the changes!
I am beyond excited for next year. Stay safe and enjoy our last few weeks of summer! Mrs. Henry We are approaching the end of our 3rd Quarter. Can you believe how fast this year has gone?
Just a quick reminder for students to double check their google classroom to finalize all projects before we take off for break. Google classroom is the best place to get information for assignments and due dates. Parents, google classroom access is restricted to student access at this time. There is however a feature where you can receive an email update about the projects happening in your child's google classroom. It does require a google account to receive updates. If you send me an email at [email protected] I am happy to send you an invitation. Info you can get in these email summaries includes missing work, upcoming work, and class activity. You can also choose how often you would like to be notified, weekly or daily, based off of your preference. I am excited to announce that our school is participating in the largest hour of code in history. Hour of code is a world wide initiative to introduce coding skills. Each grade level K-8 will be exploring coding this month at their own level.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KsOIlDT145A This video introduces this movement. I am proud of all of the coding that our students have done. Check back for links for our coding resources. Thanks for an epic beginning to this year. I have loved teaching technology and greatly appreciate the welcome I have received. As we look forward to conferences, I wanted to welcome any parent to contact me to set up a conference. I will be available most of the time for walk in's but am happy to make appointments as well.
Please email me at [email protected] to set up your appointment today! Please double check that your student has functional headphones to use at school. We recommend the ones with the headband compared to the earbuds for younger students. Many earbuds are size for bigger adult ears. I normally have a bucket of headphones to loan to those that for any reason need to borrow a pair. As a precaution, we will be bagging them up for 10 days and cleaning them. This is a good practice to do anytime there is lice. While no lice have been linked to these headphones, we would rather be safe than sorry. Can you believe we are already finishing 1st Quarter. This year is flying by. The last day of the quarter is Monday, October 17th. Please check google classroom in the work tab to see if there is any submitted work including questions. Please feel free to email me with any questions!
I want to thank everyone for a great kickoff to the school year. I am loving teaching here and I think it will be my favorite year so far! Please feel free to contact me with any questions or concerns as the year progresses. I check my email multiple times a day and will respond ASAP.
Typically there will not be homework in my class if students stay focused and use our allotted time. All of the assignment details can be found in our google classrooms. Access to our classrooms are limited to the students however there is a new guardian feature. As it is new and I am looking for volunteers to be in my testing group to see if it is a feature we should use in the future. Please email me at [email protected] if you are interested in participating. God bless, Mrs. Henry Hello everyone! First of all thanks for such a warm welcome. IC is a great place to learn and work and I appreciate all of the great people here. As of today, I will have met with all of the classes for chrome camp to go over our device policy. Before we can start using this awesome new technology, all students and parents need to sign and return their acceptable use policy (AUP) form. When you sign these forms you agreeing to the policy linked here. I know this will be an awesome year and I look forward to working with each one of you. Please feel free to email me throughout the year with any questions or concerns at [email protected]
God bless, Mrs. Henry Allow me to introduce myselfMy name is Mrs. Jessica Henry and I am beyond excited to be working with each of you this upcoming school year. I love exploring new technology, especially things that make everyday tasks more fun or efficient. I love the fact that technology gives us abilities to things your parents and grandparents couldn’t have even fathomed. Better yet, I can’t wait to find out what new technology will be invented in the years to come.
I am also looking forward to returning to Immaculate Conception to teach because I attended IC from Preschool through 8th grade. I am excited to see which traditions have continued and see how IC has grown and changed. If you happen to have siblings or relatives with old IC yearbooks, you will find me under my maiden name, Jessica Kratz. After graduating from IC in the class of 2004, I attended Springfield Catholic, Benedictine College for my undergraduate degree, and the University of Missouri, Kansas City for my masters (to be finished in this spring). The last four years I taught middle school math and science in in Kansas City. When I am not working, I enjoy playing with my baby, husband, and puppy named Didymus Franklin. You will find that I am easily entertained, smile a lot, and seek to find the good in any situation. I look for the best in people and find that when we all respect each other, everyone benefits. I am always looking for the best, most engaging, and beneficial lessons and projects so I expect my students to do their best as well. I look forward to an epic year and I can’t wait to meet everyone. Stay cool in these last hot weeks of summer break. God bless, Mrs. Jessica Henry |
