19-20 Petrusha and Rockey Math

We made it. Can you believe that we have finally reached the end of the school year. All that craziness, hard work, and frustration has led to this. So attached are the calendars for the last week. You will notice a few changes and differences to this weeks calendar.

First of all this week is only four days so notice the week ends on Thursday. Second you will also be happy to see there is not any academic assignments for this last week. It is meant to give all those students who are still trying to catch up that time they need. If you are someone who is all caught up, we only ask you fill out the end of the year survey. Please answer honestly and truthfully. We can take it.

We will still have both our office hours and Big Blue Button Meet this week. We really hope to have as many of you as we can attend both. We will be answering questions and playing games during our office hours Tuesday and then logging into our Big Blue Button on Thursday for one last in video person goodbye.

We truly miss teaching you in person every day but we are proud of what you were able to overcome in this more than challenging school year. We will always be here for you and wish everyone the best summer yet.

Also I want everyone to note that all late/missing work is due Wednesday, June 10th by midnight.

Can you believe it? It is June already. We are in the home stretch and it is the most important part of the year. We all need to work together to finish this year strong and end on a positive note. Please review the calendar for the week to see what assignments are to be completed. Make sure you are going back and completing any past assignments you may have missed.

The assignments for the week are online (Khan/iReady) and on Google Classroom.

Please do not wait any longer if you have any questions for us.

Hello everyone,

I hope you all enjoyed your holiday weekend and are ready for that final push in this crazy school year. I can only speak for myself when I say it has been one of the most challenging things I have ever done. Teaching in a 100% online environment is beyond anything I ever expected to do when I got the call to be hired by Dearborn schools but here we are so please keep that focus extra sharp with this four day week.

Attached you will find the calendars and all the things you will need for this week. Use the calendar to help you in finding what to do. Make sure you are doing each days work and completing the tasks so you don´t fall behind in these last few weeks. As always, reach out if you have questions.

Lastly, check your student and parent connects. If anything is missing, you can make it up but you must tell us when you make up work so we can make sure we grade it and put it in the gradebook. Summer school letters are being sent this week but there is still time to keep yourself out of that. Good luck and enjoy the warm weather.

Hello everybody,

Here is the calendar for the upcoming week. I hope everything is clear and easy to follow. The days are only a recommendation but you can do more than one day at a time if you want. The pacing is up to you. You will notice that our Tuesday office hours are the now the Big Blue Button meet and the office hours are on Thursday this week with Friday being a non school day. Please take this opportunity to join in and we can help with anything. We would really like to see as many of you as we can and help you further your understanding of these new concepts.

We are noticing a lot of missing work so please check your scores in student and parent connect to see what needs to be completed.

As always, please reach out to us with any questions you may have.

Good morning everyone,

Here is the calendar for the upcoming week. I hope everything is clear and easy to follow. The days are only a recommendation but you can do more than one day at a time if you want. The pacing is up to you. You will notice that our Tuesday office hours are the same but we have added Big Blue Button Hangouts for Fridays. I have attached the instructions of how to log onto those again this week for those of you that missed it last week. Please take this opportunity to join in and we can help with anything. We would really like to see as many of you as we can and help you further your understanding of these new concepts.

Many of you are missing more than a few assignments. Please make sure you are following the calendars by each day to make sure you complete all work for the week.

Please check out your student connect and let us know if you have any questions because a lot of you are missing one or more assignments.

As always please let us know if you have any questions.

Attached you will find the instructions on how to use the Big Blue Button for our Friday meets. If you have any questions, please let us know. Hope to see you tomorrow.

Also attached is a little message from your teachers.

Good morning,

Here is the calendars for the upcoming week. I hope everything is clear and easy to follow. The days are only a recommendation but you can do more than one day at a time if you want. The pacing is up to you. Also the office hours are just an opportunity to check in with us and ask any questions you may have so far in the week. You will see an update to use the Big Blue Button for the Friday meeting times so keep an eye out for those directions later in the week.

You can find the note and activity pages for each class on the appropriate Google Classroom pages. If you have trouble finding them please reach out to us.

As always please let us know if you have any questions.

Good morning to all,

Due to some unfortunate circumstances, the district has suspended the use of Google Meet for the time being.  For us that means that we have to cancel today’s meetings with each of our classes.  That being said, we are still available for you if you need to ask any questions or need help with the work from this week.  We would love it if everyone could take a minute and send us a quick check in email or give a quick call.  We really would like to hear from you.  

In another way to support you without being able to meet today, we will be posting some example videos later this morning to give examples and further explain this week’s topics.  Keep an eye out for those.

Lastly, please pay special attention to the post on Sunday or Monday about how the meetings will take place next week.  We are working on a method to still be available by video to all of you and will have an answer then.  As always stay healthy and stay safe.

Hello everyone,
I am not sure if everyone has heard by now but the district released that their learning plan for the rest of the year was approved. I am attaching the letter to this post so you can read it for yourselves. I do want to highlight that we are going to continue to track student progress and learning in a mostly online matter. This will include two weekly google meets per week (Tuesdays and Thursdays) that I do expect to see as many of you as I can at. As your teacher, I do hope to still have as much contact with you as possible.

Also, we will be checking progress almost daily based on the work assigned each week in the grade level calendar. That calendar will be posted to both the Google Classroom and iBlog each Monday morning. Use that as your biggest reference for everything that needs to be completed each week. As always if you need to ask any questions, have concerns, or just need clarification, you can always reach us at our emails, phone number, or posting comments on Google Classroom.

Take care and stay safe.
