We bought a House!!

My husband and I just closed on a house on Friday!

Students Attendance

lglisson1 — 2025-09-09 14:40:11 UTC

There have been some struggles of attendance across all my classes. It has been constantly the same few but the REQ sessions can vary. I hope to see this improve.

Class Participation

lglisson1 — 2025-09-09 14:41:19 UTC

Class participation in Nearpod's or interactive activities has been positive. I would like to see more in the comments and on mic but I am still keeping a positive mindset since engagement is still happening.

All the things

2025-09-09 14:50:51 UTC

Baseball is back for fall ball with my oldest, first weekend tournament this weekend. All my kids are in public school and it feels illegal to be home in a quite house working! Thank you all for the nominations for TOM, I am grateful for each of you!

Class Participation

Mic usage

aconverse7 — 2025-09-09 14:59:07 UTC

I am going to lean into this more next week, but it is a weak area for students right now.

Finding my groove

2025-09-09 14:59:17 UTC

I am actually ahead now and have all of my assignments out for 4 weeks!!

Positivity and Engagement

cskinner45 — 2025-09-09 14:59:52 UTC

Students have been staying positive despite all the technical issues we've had, and they have done a great job participating.

Hello! I am Becky James - I teach Business Finance and Marketing 2. I have been a teacher for 8 years and I have been with CASC for 5 years now. I am very grateful for my Team of people here and the ability to do what I love in this platform of virtual teaching.

Attendance

cskinner45 — 2025-09-09 15:00:39 UTC

I find it hard to track attendance without being able to sort required vs optional students in the attendance section in Engageli. It's a lot of combing through names.

I am now blessed to be here at CASC! This is year 5 for me.

The chat

The students in most sessions seem to be responsive to me and each other.

Mic Usage

jharman15 — 2025-09-09 15:04:38 UTC

I consistently encourage it. Rounds of applause sounds given for students using. Making it seem fun and getting some fun contests going on pertaining to mic usage.
