Good Morning! I hope you had a wonderful weekend at home! I want to encourage you to continue to do your daily assignments, not just the ones you want to do.

Our daily assignments will do several things for us. One-you maintain a schedule of school. Two-you give yourself purpose. Three-you don’t regress. You have learned so much this year. Together we can continue to do that, so I will give you assignments that I believe will do that. I have expanded our materials to using more videos and materials we haven’t used before, along with, some materials we are used to using. Yet, we can continue the momentum. In between completing assignments, get some exercise! Hang in there with me! I miss you all!

Students that are having difficulty logging in to Clever from the Dearborn Student page to gain access to Google Classroom will need to make sure they are using the right Google account. If you are signed in to your home account, you will not be able to log in. You will need to switch to your school account(click on the icon in the top right-hand corner and make sure that it doesn’t have a name (other than their DPS account). I hope this helps.

Don’t forget this is reading month. All of you should be reading 30 minutes a day from a book of your choice. I will be adding a journal in Classroom for you to add information about your book. Can’t wait to see what you are all reading this week!
