Happy Friday! I hope today is Old Man Winter’s Last Hurrah for spring. I could use some sunshine AND warm temperatures.

Next week, the District will formally release the expectations for online learning. As I have been informing you, the work is really not considered “Enrichment.” The previous work does count in our records and all of the work will determine the final mark a student receives. Dr. Maleyko will give detail on all of that next week. I have been in contact with all families to alert them of missing work, if applicable. PLEASE stay on top of the work – it is expected to be approximately 2 hours/day. This is more than manageable. PLEASE monitor your child and make sure you SEE the work, rather than simply asking if it is completed. I will continue to do what I can to help each student. Thank you for doing your part at home. Email me at AlbertA@dearbornschools.org if any questions or concerns arise.

• read leisurely for 30 minutes
• help your parents (perhaps shovel the snow if needed)
• Math: Module 6 Lesson 17 video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YQbZI9zoUTg&t=43s, Learn and Succeed problems from lesson 17, Zearn to the end of lesson 17. A “Parent Letter for Topic C” (lessons 13-17) AND a good review of main ideas for you is loaded in GC – please make sure you look at it (perhaps even print it out).
• 180 Days of Language Day 10 – follow the instructions in Google Classroom
• Moby Max: MANY of you still did not do the assignment from Tuesday, Wednesday, and yesterday and are VERY behind. If you didn’t do Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and yesterdays, then you have 4 to do for today. Tuesday’s S. S. review was on “Comparing/Contrasting.” Wednesday’s S.S. review was on “Drawing Conclusions.” Yesterday’s review was “Classify and Categorize.” Today the review is on “Identifying Main Ideas & Supporting Details.” These are great foundational reviews on material you have already been taught – but need to maintain cognitive ability with. Due by the end of today.
• Reading: Treasures p. 94-106 (1) read “Ultimate Field Trip 5: Blasting Off to Space Academy” (2) answer questions p. 107 #1-5 in GC. READ and FOLLOW the directions for the questions carefully please.
