Good Morning! Welcome to a new week of learning! Here are the assignments for today. Ask questions in google classroom email if you have any! Here is a link to a calendar to print for a general overview of how our week runs. It is nothing new. It may be helpful to print for your own organization. You will continue to get lesson specific links on here. https://docs.google.com/document/d/1FquGEr0Zx-TNQn1R-CRJyGJ5VAt2I-WPhRL6cFVrh3s/edit?usp=sharing
Normally we would have a google meet today. This week I will be recording sessions for you and attaching them to the student’s email. Please see the memo from the superintendent regarding this matter. We will be switching to a new platform for the live meetings only, which will take a short while to learn and prepare. In the meantime, please watch the recorded lessons and email and ask questions. I am here to help. https://docs.google.com/document/d/1XRPvpmUYfCR_sRq14PSTYoyatM8n2SiccuMqG2ZwzC0/edit?usp=sharing
If you have completed the survey to request a Chromebook, we will be distributing them on Monday, April 27 from 2pm-4pm outside the main entrance. To ensure we are safe guarding ourselves and those around us, please remember to come alone (leave the little ones at home), practice social distancing (we will have designated stand points on the ground), wear a mask and bring your own writing utensil. If you have not completed the survey, please click here SURVEY.
Stay Safe and Well! Thanks Ms. Tiba
Dear Parents,
I hope you and your family are safe and healthy. Friday we completed the first week of our new Continuity plan guidelines and I am seeking your feedback. Below is a short survey to help us better understand the needs of the community as a whole. The collected results will allow us to make some well-informed decisions moving forward. It is anonymous and greatly appreciated.

Stay well and take care
Ms. Tiba
Google Meet: Our Google Meet for today has been canceled as due to a temporary issue the district has asked us to refrain from having live meetings until further notice.
The district has had the Continuity of Learning Plan approved. It is important for parents/guardians to read it so you will know how things have changed since we first began remote learning. If you go to the elementary section it explains how grades will be done and what is expected of students for the rest of the year. You can see it here: https://dearbornschools.org/services/dearborn-public-schools-continuity-of-learning-plan/.
Students, if you are turning in an assignment on Google classroom that was assigned 4/20 – 4/24 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, 4/27 – 5/1. The most important thing right now is to start completing the work from April 20 through the rest of the year.
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. Goeke, Mrs Ackerman, Mrs. Poisson, and Mr. Kwiecien have assignments on Google classroom for you to work on. Watch for Google meetings with these teachers!!************
Now let’s get moving!!
Work that is assigned on Google Classroom needs to be turned in on Google Classroom. I am supposed to have your grades for your assignments on there and I cannot grade you if it is a picture emailed to me. You can do your work on regular paper, but at some point I need you to put your answers onto the page on Google Classroom and click hand in.
Math
Today we are working on Module 5 lesson 20/21, they are combined. Here is the link to the video:https://gm.greatminds.org/kotg-em/knowledge-for-grade-5-em-m5-l20 You have the lesson 20 template words in your books already ready to cut out.
Today we will do problem set numbers 1a-k and homework numbers 1
Doing the second 2 parts of the lesson, fluency and application problems would be good practice for the review tomorrow.
ELA
This week we will work through the current issue of Scholastic News, The Game that Changed My Life. Just like before, we are going to the Scholastic News site and logging in with our google account. Here is the link:https://classroommagazines.scholastic.com/ It is set up so that you can log in through google classroom. For today and tomorrow read the articles, A Place to Call Home and Should you Stand up to a Bully? Watch the videos as well. Complete the assignment on Google Classroom titled Scholastic News 4-27 Part 1 and hit turn in.
Spelling: There is a new list and some activities assigned on Spelling City. If you do one activity a day you will be ready to take the test on Friday. These are required activities and a required spelling test. Last week only 8 students did the activities and took the spelling test. Please be sure you are completing assignments on Spelling City each week.
Science
Planning: I will be spacing the Mystery out over the week, a little part each day, with a quiz assignment on Thursday. If you prefer, you may pace yourself as needed, as you will have access to the whole Mystery and activity sheets for the week on Monday. I hope this gives you flexibility as needed at home.
In this week’s Mystery 2, In this Mystery, students discover the surprising nutrient which accounts for most of a plant’s food. In the activity, Weighing Air, on Tuesday, students blow up balloons and place them on both sides of a large balance scale constructed from a yardstick and binder clips or string. Then, students let the air out of all the balloons on one side of the balance to directly observe that air has weight. Today, start the video and watch the exploration part. You should have your anchor phenomenon papers handy and a blank page to take notes during the Mystery this week. Answer the discussion questions within the Mystery on your blank paper. We will do the activity tomorrow, so you can stop there; at the slide that says “air.”

Social Studies: There were many spies used by the Continental Army and the British Army during the Revolutionary War. This Liberty’s Kids is about one of the most famous, Nathan Hale. After you have watched the video, think about what dangers spies during this time might face. Then read the Ducksters article and take the quiz. Also, think about what his famous quote means, “I regret that I have but one life to lose for my country.”
****If you did not finish the assignments named Common Sense, The Turtle & the First Fourth of July, and New York, New York on Google classroom you need to be sure you finish those and turn in. They are all part of the assignments that will be counted towards your report card.
