Good Morning, happy Friday and Happy May! Below 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
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

Google Meet: Our Google Meets for this week have been canceled as due to a temporary issue the district has asked us to refrain from having live meetings until further notice. I will be training on a new platform for meetings on Thursday morning. I will update you as to the status of the meetings. 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
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. I will not be accepting work from the week of 4/20 after Friday 5/1 so please make sure you have it done before then unless there is a health or technology issue that you contact me about.
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!!************
I’ll think I’ll have a milkshake for breakfast!
Math: If you have not completed the Module 5 test in Google Classroom, please complete it today by 3. If you are all done, complete Zearn through the end of Module 5.
Science: There is no new science today. If you are not done with any of the assignments on Google Classroom, today is your day to get caught up. If you have not completed the Mystery 2 quiz in Google Classroom, please complete it today by 2. If you have not completed the Readworks article: The Plant Puzzle, you need to finish that as well. When you are done, here are some fun science videos with our friend at Crash Course Kids.
ELA: Complete any Scholastic News, Readworks, and old ELA assignments in google classroom today. This is you day to catch up if you need it.
Spelling: You have a spelling test to take on Spelling City. This is a required part of your grade. If you haven’t done all the activities you will need to do those as well. Today is your day to get caught up!
Social Studies: The Continental Army was not doing well. They had lost almost every battle and the colonists and soldiers were very discouraged and ready to quit the fight for freedom. Then Washington had a fabulous plan to change things. Watch the video and read the Ducksters article to find out more. Then go to Google Classroom and do the assignment. If you need to, go back and watch Wednesday’s and today’s videos and reread the articles so your answers will be correct. Don’t forget to click turn in.

TURACO BEAK
Zulu has a beautifully bright, colorful beak. What sorts of colorful food do you think she would eat while hopping from branch to branch in the canopy of the rainforest? Now we’d like for you to dress up like Zulu by creating, decorating and wearing your own turaco beak! Take a toilet tube or piece of scrap paper and fold it in or cut it on one side to fit comfortably against your face. Cut or fold in the opposite side to create a pointed shape. Decorate it bright yellow with a hint of red at the top. Your finished beak will pair nicely with the crown that you may have made a few weeks ago after watching our Home Safari on our Lady Ross’ turaco chick. Wear your crown and beak and hop around like Zulu.
Now it’s time for a daily art lesson from author/illustrator Jarrett J. Krosoczka—author of Punk Farm, Lunch Lady, and Jedi Academy.
While we are talking about Tomie dePaola, let’s have a fun read aloud of Strega Nona! This is one of my favorite picture books!
Let’s get some fun facts about Antarctica!
If you have time, this DSO Watch Party would be fun!
