Happy Thursday!!!

Hi all, teachers are required to do virtual professional development all this week, therefore it may take me longer than normal to respond to your emails.

Please check through Google classroom to see what assignments you may be missing. Please complete assignments from before spring break if you have not done so already.

Students, if you are turning in an assignment on Google classroom that was assigned 3/16 – 4/3, please email me that you have turned it in. (This DOES NOT apply to students who are up to date with assignments.) Google classroom doesn’t notify me when you hand it in. This is not necessary for current assignments that were made this week, 4/13 – 4/17.

Also, some assignments are created by me and some are created by Mrs. Stetz. You should be doing all of them. This is similar to what we did in school but you might not have been aware of it.

Don’t forget that Mrs. Baloga, Mr. Harvey, Mr. Goedke, and Mrs Ackerman have assignments on Google classroom for you to work on.

Now let’s make some purple stew for breakfast!

Today we are working on Module 5 Topic C Review. Lesson 15 has the same objective as 14 so we are skipping it. You may always do it for extra practice if you need more work on yesterday’s objective. Please complete the Topic C Review assignment on Google Classroom. We will go over the review during our Google Hangout tomorrow. I will then post the answers later Friday as well in case you can not make our Hangout.

Social Studies: Here is an important historical quote: “There is something absurd in supposing a continent to be perpetually governed by an island.” -Thomas Paine While you are watching the videos and reading the Ducksters article please try to think what the quote might mean. We will talk about it at our Zoom meeting on Friday so be ready with your thoughts. There is an assignment on Google classroom for you to complete. Don’t worry because it is not due until Monday so you will have plenty of time to finish it. If you have not watched the videos or completed the assignments from earlier this week please finish those first so you can follow the historical events in order. If you need any help, please email hicksol@dearbornschools.org

Have you ever wondered how the astronauts get their food delivered? They can’t really go to the grocery store so here’s how they get it!!!

Let’s stay on the International Space Station for a little while to hear a just for fun read aloud.

I hope you all had a thrilling Thursday and that you learned something old, something new, and found something that gave you a laugh or at least a smile. Remember that you have the gift of being home with your family and try to do something fun with whoever you are at home with. Have an adult teach you to cook something or fix something. Create something by drawing, painting, or just building a sculpture out of stuff that you have around the house. Write a poem, a story, an informational article, or a journal. Make up a dance or a song or a silly exercise. I would love to hear one interesting thing you have done when we have our Zoom meeting.
