Due to Friday’s snow day, I will be giving the social studies test on Tuesday. We will review tomorrow in class.

I will be having a parent data meeting on Tuesday February 13 at 9:40-10:25.  At this meeting I will be going over DRA and NWEA  scores.  I hope to see you there.

Test

Monday February 12, students will be taking the unit test in social studies.  They should be bringing home their packet daily to study from.

Project

On Monday I sent home the directions for a social studies project.  This project is due on February 27.  The students chose a time period that we learned about.  They need to bring in two 3-d artifacts that represent this time period.  They will also need to write at least one paragraph about this time period in Michigan’s history and describe the artifacts they brought in.  The students also need to dress up as a person from this time period.  They will be presenting this whole school at a date to be determined so they need to be able to orally describe their time period.

Below are some ideas for the 3-d artifacts

I have been giving students articles and questions on the website Readworks.org. They can also access this website at home to complete the assignments. When they go to the website they need to log in as a student. It will say Log In With Google. They need to click on that. Their email is their student number followed by @dearbornschools.org. They know their password.

If they have trouble logging in at home, go to Google and make sure no one else in the house is logged on to google. (Look in the top right hand corner).

If you have any questions, please let me know.
