I am going to try my best to keep your education moving forward based from my house to yours. This will be my primary form of communication along with your child\u2019s school google email, their google classroom account, the remind app and my email. The children have used all of these resources many times before. If you have any questions, <strong>please<\/strong>&nbsp;<strong>email<\/strong>&nbsp;me. This is public, and if you post here, your question and my response will be seen by all. I plan on being available from 9-4 everyday. I will check my email hourly. Have your child set up an area they can work with their books, pencils, a place for the computer, iPad, and any other things they may need. Set a good time for your family to work. Many of you may be working from home. I am very flexible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I also want to remind everyone that we are going to try and keep to&nbsp;<em>as normal as possible<\/em>. While I understand that sounds hard, having a schedule for meals, bedtime, etc is important to our mental well being. Making sure we <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/iblog.dearbornschools.org\/stetzc\/#\">exercise<\/a>&nbsp;regularly<\/strong>&nbsp;and stay mentally fit with activities like games, puzzles, and chores that have the sense of completion and control can be important in uncertain times. Talk with your child about what they can and can\u2019t control. We have discussed circle of control in school many times. A reassuring smile and hug can go a long way!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>The Plan<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>I will post everyday on here by 9 a.m.  I will also be sending a video MWF by 9 a.m. that can be watched anytime.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I will provide daily lesson directions, answers the following day, and feedback as much as possible. I will provide links to watch videos for math, science, and social studies. I will add assignments to google classroom, Readworks, and NewsELA. I will answer everyone\u2019s questions through my email: hicksol@dearbornschools.org. Our grade level goal is to complete 4 math lessons a week with the help of the tutorial videos, Zearn, and your books. We will move forward with social studies and the Road to the American Revolution. In science we will complete the Mystery 4, which we started, and then do some mini lesson mysteries, all of which will be a link I send to you. For ELA we will work through the materials I sent home, the chapter book you have, and Readworks and NewsELA. I will post additional resources as we need them and any fun resources I come across as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>What will kids do?<\/strong>&nbsp;Do the best you can to do the work I am assigning. Email me questions. Watch the videos and try the math to the best of your ability. Stay positive and don\u2019t give up! This is new to everyone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>What will parents do?<\/strong>&nbsp;Take a deep breath! Be supportive and positive as much as possible. If you can, watch the videos together and talk. You don\u2019t have to have all the answers, discussion goes a long way. Email me as well if you have questions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"540\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/iblog.dearbornschools.org\/bartonl\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/491\/2020\/03\/safe_image-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2602\" srcset=\"https:\/\/iblog.dearbornschools.org\/bartonl\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/491\/2020\/03\/safe_image-1.jpg 540w, https:\/\/iblog.dearbornschools.org\/bartonl\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/491\/2020\/03\/safe_image-1-300x156.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 540px) 100vw, 540px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Click on the link below for some fun virtual field trips!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/adventuresinfamilyhood.com\/20-virtual-field-trips-to-take-with-your-kids.html?fbclid=IwAR1iXJQj0jBc1n_N70tYIQmo8cCKwV8KTxsBF0dqcdTtGDkHG6p80Am_tiY\">https:\/\/adventuresinfamilyhood.com\/20-virtual-field-trips-to-take-with-your-kids.html?fbclid=IwAR1iXJQj0jBc1n_N70tYIQmo8cCKwV8KTxsBF0dqcdTtGDkHG6p80Am_tiY<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Here we go!
