Boys and girls check out BrainPop today. It’s about the vernal equinox, the first day of spring. Watch the video, and try taking the quiz!

Good morning from your friendly remote learning teacher! I am so glad I was able to converse with you yesterday about our Read Aloud. It makes me feel more like being in the classroom hearing what you have to say. We will continue to do a few assignments per day. Has anyone found something really fun to do or watch since we have been home? Share it with me and I will share it with the rest of us.

Math-Exit Ticket les 3; watch the video for lesson 4 then complete the application problem and problem set.

Science-Read the remaining Earth’s Atmosphere articles in ReadWorks, and record your new learnings in Book of Knowledge.

Read & Language-2 things today; complete the language verb agreement activity in Classroom. Make sure you read the directions at the top to understand verb agreement when doing this activity. After that, complete the reading proofreading activity. Follow the directions on the activity sheet.

Read Aloud–Insignificant Events in the Life of a Cactus, listen to chapters 8 & 9 if you haven’t already then do the following:

What does Aven mean when she says, “I am an entirely insignificant event in the life of this cactus.”?

Hello Howard Community,
Howard will have a drive-through for families who do not have a laptop or computer at home.  It will take place at Howard, today from 12:30-2:00 pm in front of the school’s main entrance.  You will be asked to sign a form that acknowledges your full responsibility for the care of the Chromebook. We are sorry for the short notice, but we are doing our best during these extraordinary times. We are trying our best to get resources to our students as quickly as possible, as the events are unfolding rapidly. Thank you for your patience and understanding.

Take care and be safe,

Mrs. Sabbagh Post navigation

Good Morning! You guys are doing a great job! I miss seeing your smiling faces! Thanks for emailing me with your questions, and just for staying in touch. How are you liking your Module 6 Math?! This is one of my favorite units to teach! I enjoy geometry. Do you enjoy listening to Insignificant Events in the Life of a Cactus? I will post some questions today which will be an open journal for us to talk about the story. I miss our interactive conversations about our read aloud. I hope your are being kind to your parents?!

Please DO NOT turn this in because it will be an ongoing discussion.

Hey guys, the Sleds on Boston Common conclusion chart wasn’t allowing you to write on it so I uploaded a new one. Please use the first one to see the added text clues to help guide you when adding to the 2nd chart. I hope this works better for you now. Thanks!

Happy St. Patrick’s Day! Everyone wear green today!

I wanted to thank you for making our first day remotely successful. I am sending your work back to you in Classroom so please check. I do need all of you to please make sure you are reading my directions in Google Classroom. Remember, I am not in the classroom with you and am not readily available to catch your errors. If you want to send me pictures of anything you are doing, I would love to see them!

Math-complete lesson 1 Exit Ticket. Watch the video for lesson 2 then complete lesson 2, application & problem set, in your Learn book.

Read-reread Sleds on Boston Common and complete assignments posted in Google Classroom; vocabulary, verbs pg 65, conclusion chart.

Please continue to listen to our read aloud! You can also watch BrainPop.com each day to learn something new!

I have added a new page( at the top), called Remote Learning that contains a couple websites for you to visit at home. I’m sure you have found many more already, but this is a start. Enjoy!

Howard Art Student (ALL)Parents,

Due to the Governor’s order to close schools, here are some resources and lessons that we will be using to ensure that learning is continuing at this time. This will include daily reading, writing, math, and other content areas over this next month. Students have shown so much growth and progress this year,  and we don’t want to jeopardize how far they’ve come. Please take care of your family, we are hoping everyone stays healthy and that this passes quickly.

Here are the two ways we will stay in communication:

Blog 

• iblog.dearbornschools.org/thomas 

Email

• Mrs. Thomas   thomass@dearbornschools.org 

Remind/or class dojo

• NO REMIND OR DOJO for ART

40 Days of Drawing found on my blog with instructions.  Grades K-2 and 4-5 have 90 minutes of art per week. Grade 3 has 45 minutes of art per week.  Have your artist spend that much time working from any of these 3 options. Of course, parents, you are allowed to assign them MORE ART than the allotment we have at school!  The only wrong answer on any of the lessons I have provided is poor or no effort! Have your artist label each lesson with their name on the back before bringing it back to school with them when we return.  More info on my blog.!

We all must work together as a team to make sure that community health is made a priority and ensure that students continue on with critical learning.
Thank you for being a partner in your child’s education.
