Tomorrow we will practice how to take the NWEA test. I will show them how to take the test.

First you need to test your device.

To test your device go to this website on the same chromebook that your child will take the test on. Go Here: check.nwea.org.

OR CLICK BELOW https://teach.mapnwea.org/impl/maptraining/DeviceReadiness/story_html5.html

Follow the directions to test the device. DO EXACTLY WHAT THEY TELL YOU TO DO!

You have to test your device to make sure that they are able to take the NWEA test on that device (most of you have chromebooks from school so the test will be fine.)

When you are done it will give you a green check or a red x. Please let me know if you get a red X.

We need your help during testing of the devices.

Thank you so much!

What a great job first graders did last week! Parents you should be proud of them. They are getting used to learning online, they are learning to follow directions, to mute and unmute when they have to, and they are working hard completing their assignments on Schoology. Keep up the great work!

Here are the specials schedule:

Monday: Gym

Tuesday: Art

Wednesday: Music

Thursday: Media

Friday: Science Enrichment

Please go on Schoology and follow each Specials page from 1:00 -1:54 p.m.

Students have to stay on Zoom the whole time from 8:55-11:45 and return after lunch at 12:30 p.m. If they do not return they will be marked absent. Students have to participate, that means that if I ask them a question they need to answer, and stay with the video on the whole synchronous time. Most students are doing a great job with this. Keep up the great work!

See you at 8:55 on Zoom!

Happy Monday!

Here is a tentative schedule. Please know that this might change. Breaks might be at different times as I might give a break to students as I see needed. Students need to be logged on all morning and have the cameras on at all times.

10:10-10:20- Snack 

10:30-11:45- Reading/Writing (whole group zoom)

1:00- 1:54- Specials ( See Schoology with Specials Schedule)

1:55-3:50- Independent work or asynchronous (small group instruction coming soon)

*** This schedule is subject to change with more information! What is most important is that students know to be logged into zoom at 8:55 am, and at 12:30 pm. 

Have a great day!

First go to the Dearborn Public School Page and click on Schoology:

Next click on my picture:

Last, click on Zoom. It is a yellow box called First Grade Zoom Meeting. Click and wait until I let everyone in the classroom.

Be patient, there are many glitches and it takes time to get used to anything new.

Hope to see everyone soon!
