I hope you enjoyed your &#8220;Spring Break.&#8221; I don&#8217;t usually travel during the school year, so I spent it at home. It has been a little over 4 weeks since the virus has changed how we interact with life. I hear some complaining about being &#8220;stuck at home.&#8221; How about changing that perspective to &#8220;safe at home.&#8221; I feel fortunate that our safety and well-being is kept as a primary focus by our state and federal government. Yes, it is changing things. However, I hope we all grow a deeper appreciation for what we all have. #Perspective<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We will be having a Google Meet tomorrow. If you would like to participate, and I hope you all do, please check Google Classroom (GC) at 11 a.m. for the link. Just like our first Google Meet, I will ask you to mute your microphone when we get everyone settled. Then, I will go through and give everyone an opportunity to share out. On the right side of the Google Meet page is a place for you to text the entire class. If you have a question, concern, or a thought to share, please type it in that place. Those of you that participated last time did a GREAT job of following the expectations. Mr. Troy Patterson is in charge of the district&#8217;s technology. He set up these guidelines &#8211; please remember to: <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" height=\"79\" class=\"wp-image-2127\" style=\"width: 150px;\" src=\"https:\/\/iblog.dearbornschools.org\/alberta\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/246\/2020\/04\/GoogleMeetGuidelines.jpg\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/iblog.dearbornschools.org\/alberta\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/246\/2020\/04\/GoogleMeetGuidelines.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/iblog.dearbornschools.org\/alberta\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/246\/2020\/04\/GoogleMeetGuidelines-300x159.jpg 300w, https:\/\/iblog.dearbornschools.org\/alberta\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/246\/2020\/04\/GoogleMeetGuidelines-768x407.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px\" \/><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Please continue to check that you have all the work submitted that needs to be submitted. (There are many things still missing from several of you.) AND &#8211; do not email it to me. You can figure out all kinds of tricks and maneuvers in your video games &#8211; you can figure out how to submit an assignment properly!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>read 30 minutes &#8211; as I have posted several times, there are many online book sites that offer free books during this time. Find a great new book to escape in. I have been rereading a Stephen King anthology, <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><em>Nightmares and Dreamscapes<\/em><\/span><strong>.<\/strong><\/li><li>Help your parents &#8211; and remember that it&#8217;s not just helping with chores around the house, it could be helping a sibling or simply getting out of their hair.

Type your responses on the Google Doc and submit it to me in the assignment by the end of tomorrow.<\/li><li>180 Days of Reading Week 26 Days 1 and 2 will be posted in GC.

Submit it to me in the assignment by the end of tomorrow.<\/li><li>I gave directions for &#8220;Code.org&#8221; in GC over break. You will need to email me for your secret words to get logged in. Medina already started. The lessons used to be similar to &#8220;Angry Birds&#8221; but Medina said now they are like &#8220;Minecraft.&#8221; Most students love this part of 5th grade &#8211; I hope you do, too. It is just a beginning to computer technology and coding that you could sign up for in middle and high school.<\/li><li>Science: Mystery Science posted a new video last week that is very appropriate for today&#8217;s world pandemic. Get out your Science journal, take notes, and answer questions as you watch &#8220;How Do Germs Get Inside Your Body?&#8221; <a href=\"https:\/\/mysteryscience.com\/mini-lessons\/germs#slide-id-8055\">https:\/\/mysteryscience.com\/mini-lessons\/germs#slide-id-8055<\/a><\/li><li>Most of the rest of this week will be on Social Studies.
