Following is the minimum number of topics your child should have completed in ALEKS (online math) by Friday, April 21, 2017.  In addition to completing topics as your child finishes each slice of the pie they need to take a quiz to complete the slice.  I have included how many quizzes should be completed at this point in the school year.

Please remind your child that they can work on their math at home as well- they should view it as homework- what every math student in RHS has every night. Lumen students have the opportunity to work ahead and finish early.

On Monday, we completed our third quarter seminars with team building.  We played a various of games that required communication, collaboration, and cooperation to accomplish a task or earn points for your team.

After each round students were asked questions like, Did you develop a strategy and what was it? What happens when you are on a team and there is lack of communication? Are there situations in life where you face multiple problems at the same time?

Here are some pictures of the various activities.

Human Scavenger Hunt –Students were given a scenario where they had to come up with a group of people that represented the scenario.  For instance,  a group of people whose birthdays add up to 50, or a group of people who can use the first letter of their last name to spell a word etc. The first team to do it got points for each round.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Reversal — Students had to stand in a line and figure out as a group how to get to the other side in the same position without stepping out of bounds.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Blind Count –Students had to close their eyes and count by listening to their peers voices with specific instructions such as you can’t go after the person on either side of you, and two people can’t talk at once or you need to start over from the beginning.  The first group to count to 15 without breaking any of the rules wins.

Monday night’s Showcase was a success with over 100 parents and community members engaging in conversation with students about what they have been learning throughout the school year.  There were seven featured large group presentations, a senior art exhibition, and many individual presentations given on seminars, classes, and genius hour projects.  All the students did a great job!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Students will be presenting and displaying their work that they have been creating throughout the year in seminar, classes, genius hour, internships and youth apprenticeships.  We have had a slight time change due to the Jazz Concert at 7:00 pm.

The showcase will be on Monday, February 27, 2017 from 5:30 – 7:00 pm in the Lumen rooms.

I hope you will join us for this exciting event.

Second Semester is off and running.  Many new exciting things have begun.

Lumen Fundraiser

We are selling Vande Walle’s candy bars as our Lumen fundraiser this year.  The profits will benefit all Lumen students. The money is used for field trips, seminar guest speakers, Genius hour projects and more. In the past, we have gone to The Oshkosh Public Museum as part of seminar, The Shedd Aquarium for science, and we have brought in several speakers to make real world connections to what is being taught in seminar. These are things that we can only do through fundraising. Please support your students by helping them with the fundraiser.

 

New Seminars

New seminars have begun for the semester.  If you would like to see what students will be learning this semester check out the link to LumenSeminarStandards2016-17 for second semester. Here you will find a brief description about each seminar.

 

Lumen Showcase Night
