Social Studies video

I’m told the video is blocked for some students. This may be the case if you are using a district chromebook or are signed in with a student @dearbornschools account. I am posting the link here so if students have access to another device, they can watch it here and complete their assignment.

Week of May 4 – 8

Good Morning!

Assignments are up on Google Classroom and we are ready to start our week. My goal is to keep our schedule and assignments consistent week to week so students can plan and know what to expect. One of the Spelling & Word Work activities have been removed and the slideshow is a little different this week due to the contractions spelling rule. Please look at those directions carefully!

Please keep up on work throughout the week so assignments do not pile up. I have staggered due dates throughout the week to help with completing a few things each day.

Math: Continuing with Eureka Math curriculum in addition to Zearn. Lessons 5 – 8 Monday thru Thursday with an Exit Ticket on Friday. 3 Zearn lessons or complete through lesson 24.

Exit tickets are expected to be done independently without parent help so I know what students have learned and who I need to work with to provide extra math support.

Weekly Self-Check: This will post Friday. This is a chance for you and your 4th grader to review the week, see what needs to be worked on, and ask me for help if needed. Please complete by Sunday.

April 27 – May 1

Good Morning!

We are ready to start a new week. Assignments are up on Google Classroom and our schedule is set.

A couple of changes this week:

Class Meetings

Class Meetings will no longer be held through Google Meets. We will now be using a platform called Big Blue Button. I have replaced all of the directions and links in Google Classroom to direct students to Class Meetings and Reading Group Meetings in Big Blue Button. Please have your 4th grader try this out before a their next scheduled meeting to allow time for any troubleshooting.

Math

This week we will be returning to using our Eureka Math curriculum in addition to Zearn. I will be posting lessons 4 days a week, Monday thru Thursday. This will include recorded lessons taught by 4th grade Eureka Math teachers and Problem Set guidance from me. Students will be assigned problems to complete on paper. Students will take a picture of their work and submit it in the assignment.

On Fridays I will post an Exit ticket similar to what students are used to in class. Exit tickets are expected to be done independently without parent help so I know what students have learned and who I need to work with to provide extra math support.

Our Schedule this week:

Math: 4 Eureka Lessons and Problem Sets, one a day Monday – Thursday, Exit Ticket on Friday. 3 Zearn lessons or complete through lesson 21.

Writing: Response to prompt due Wednesday.

Students can make changes to last week’s schedule. Make time adjustments as needed to fit your day, remove Reading Groups that are not yours or move the 9:00 row to later in the day if students are not awake at that time. Please make this schedule work for you!
Reading Groups will meet in Big Blue Button. Please be on time and prepared for meetings.
