Hello Parents:

I want to begin with the Tibits for Hive 108, so the calendar makes a bit more sense.

Spelling: Remains the same. Make sure your children practice the entire list of words—found in Monday’s column and click onto Spelling List.

Reading: Our topic this week and next week will revolve around History (our social studies unit) I will be assigning 2 Readworks (one non-fiction and the one fiction), a Scholastic News, an Epic book and then a free read (book of your child’s choice).

Math: Because all students have their math books, I will be assigning the application problem and the problem set page for the lesson. The exit ticket will need to be completed and that is the page I will require a picture of for credit. Zearn will be a parental choice for extra practice as with the homework page. Please reference the link (Embarc) for extra assistance in Monday’s column on the calendar.

Writing: This week I would like your children to choose one of their favorite books that they have read or listened to and write an opinion piece. I have included little videos on the calendar to follow. They need to include at least 3 reasons for choosing their book.

Social Studies: How Do Communities Change? Please begin this the day with viewing the video….It’s posted at the top of the calendar. Thank you. I will be including various videos showing Dearborn in the past, so please check the blog daily for some of those. I’m sure your children will recognize some of the the buildings found in their neighborhood and the changes that have occured.

We were scheduled for a field trip at the end of May to the Dearborn Historical Museum, so I will try to incorporate some of that material into the next 2 weeks for our History unit.

Under the social studies heading on the calendar I included a reference, Student Booklet. This can be used for the next weeks while studying Dearborn’s History.

As always, any questions, PLEASE ask!!!!

Here we go for another successful week!!!

Fondly,

Mrs. Burke

I wanted to send Happy Mother’s Day wishes to all our fabulous Moms in Hive 108!!!! You are all doing a remarkable job navigating through these uncharted waters. By no means, was this part of our “game plan”, but you’re all showing your children that a mother’s love and endurance can help guide them through these crazy times. Enjoy your day and remind your children that Mrs. Burke wants them to do their best helping you and behaving for you. It’s YOUR day and you certainly deserve a wonderful one!!!!

Happy Mother’s Day!

Love,

Mrs. Burke 🙂

Thank you soooooo much for your wonderful posters and smiles for the Teacher Appreciation Video. Mrs. Burke went through a number of tissues for my tears as I watched. So beautiful! I’ve watched it more than one time because it’s so impressive!!! Again, thank you!!!!!!! 🙂

I’m sorry for the delay….Hoping this works!!!!

Video will be posted closer to 2:00—-Sorry!!!!

Hey Kiddo Diddos,

Just a reminder to send me your estimate for the length of my fabulous flower that I “grew”. (inches, feet or yards) If you haven’t done so, you can view Tuesday’s video and take a guess. Another video will be posted around 1:00. Hoping to “see” everyone there!!!! 🙂

I was so happy to hear that your parents came to school and got your math books. Excellent!!!! It so much better to be completing your math assignments in our math journals. Here’s to all my little mathematicians!!! 🙂

Happy “A” Day. Get those paper airplanes flying!

If you have any questions about school or just a “general” question that I could answer on Thursday’s video, please send those to me. (student generated questions would be awesome!!!)

Until Thursday,
