Food distribution will begin tomorrow for all Dearborn students at the following schools from 10-12, Dearborn High, Edsel Ford High, Fordson High, Woodworth, Salina Inter. & McCollough/Unis.
This will be as “grab & go” breakfast and lunch bags,students do not need to pick-up, one person from a family can go and pick up food bags for all children 18 and under in their family.This will be on the Honor System, no lunch cards will be needed!
Practice the spelling pattern throughout the week as usual. Have a parent or sibling give you a spelling test at the end of the week.
Spelling words: my, by, buy, dry, cry, shy, sky, try, fly, spy
Rule: y at the end of a word often sounds like the long I sound.
Notice: Many of these spelling words have side-by-side consonants that can be tricky to hear. Tapping out the sounds will help you hear every sound in the word! Buy and by sound the same but are spelled differently to help readers understand what you mean. Buy always means to purchase something.
Read your book bag books and books on Raz Kids every day.
You should complete at least 2 quizzes on Raz Kids everyday (10 per week). I will be able to see your quiz scores each time you take a quiz, so read carefully and look back in the book to check your answers!
We will begin with reviewing the lessons we have completed so far in Module 4 on Zearn before moving on. You should complete at least one lesson a day. This week Lessons 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 will be due on Friday.
You should spend about 30 minutes each day working on writing each day. Read a nonfiction book on Raz Kids from the Reading Room and write an informational writing piece about it. You should complete three different writing pieces (one each week) and bring them to school on April 13th to turn them in.
If you finish all of the work above, you and your parent can decide if you should move on to work on the extra assignments.
Today as a school community we sat down and created a plan that we feel will help students be most successful during this time. I will be posting assignments every Monday morning for the entire week. For the next 3 weeks students should be completing all of the assignments that I will be posting for each subject area. Please feel free to email me with any questions or concerns: chanceh@dearbornschools.org
Learning Expectations:
–Spelling: I will be sending new spelling words each week. Please have your child practice the spelling words and you can test them at the end of each week.
–Reading: Students should log onto Raz-Kids and read 2 books per day, as well as taking the quizzes after each book. I am able to see the students score for each quiz and track their progress.

–Writing: Students should research and read 1 informational topic of their choice and write about it per week on Raz-Kids. Students should make sure to include a topic sentence, 3 facts, and a conclusion sentence. Please turn in writing pieces when we return to school
