I’d normally say TGIF, but I will be thankful when this chaos and destruction is over. Instead, let’s simply be thankful for another day, and extend our immense gratitude and thanks to all doctors, nurses, grocery store people, and all those who are working to keep us safe, healthy, and supplied with essentials. I hope you were able to get out in your yard yesterday. I was not (I’ll try for this afternoon), BUT I was able to get Google Meet established for us today. I will post the link in GC at 11 a.m. today. If you are able to join us, great! If you aren’t, perhaps you can join us next time. Remember to follow PBIS expectations, core values, and MY expectations. 😉
Report cards will be ONLINE starting Monday. Mrs. Sabbagh will be posting information on how your parents can access them. Parents – please read and follow the directions carefully that Mrs. Sabbagh posts.
Spring Break is next week. 🎉☀️🎉 I will not be posting assignments.
- Read 30 minutes. Audible has opened up their library FREE OF CHARGE! 🎉📚🎉 Go find a great new book to crack open and lose yourself in!
- Help parents!
- Math: The MidModule Assessment will be posted in GC. Nothing to submit, but give it some honest work. You are cheating yourself if you don’t try to Learn and Succeed (get it? 😉) at the material. I will post the corrections on Monday after Spring Break.
- MathWarmUp #87: complete it on your own. Corrections are posted in GC for #86. Corrections for #87 will be posted on Monday after Spring Break.
- Language: Complete 180 Days of Language Day 5 in GC. NOTHING to submit to me today. Corrections and notes are also posted there.
- Reading: (1) 180 Days of Reading Week 25 Day 4 Corrections are posted. (2) Wayside: Quiz is posted. Complete it in the Google Doc and submit it by the end of today. Also, a couple of other fun things to complete are posted. Your quiz answers should be typed in a Google Doc and are due by the end of today. The fun things are simply for fun – nothing to submit to me.
- Science: Review all your information on the Water Cycle. Then, complete these online quizzes to check your comprehension and knowledge: (1) http://earthguide.ucsd.edu/earthguide/diagrams/watercycle/watercycleq.html (2) https://easyscienceforkids.com/water-cycle-quiz-free-interactive-general-quiz-questions-for-kids/ (3) https://www.ducksters.com/science/quiz/the_water_cycle_questions.php. (There is nothing to submit to me.)
- Virtual Spirit Week: submit a photo on how you are spending the time during this world crisis.
Google Meet
The Howard Staff had a virtual staff meeting today. After we were done, I was able to figure out some things on how to do this for our class (with Jude’s help – thank you, Jude!). Tomorrow morning at 11 a.m., please look in Google Classroom for the invite to login. If it’s not working, […]
Update on Schools – Personal Reflection
If you didn’t hear the formal announcement, Governor Whitmer signed an executive order closing schools for the remainder of this school year (unless restrictions can be put in place). I can hear some of you being happy about that. However, you being happy makes me very sad – it means you aren’t seeing the gravity/seriousness […]
