FTLFMBITLMIM! Any guesses??
I have to say that MANY of you have really stepped it up last week! The quality and quantity of the work turned in was FANTASTIC!
You know who all of you are!! I continue to enter your completed work in the Snow Learning Log, and I continue to be pleasantly impressed with how hard so many of you are working!!
However, if you’re not getting your work done, it’s really important that you take the time to get caught up. Complete your responsibilities for this week FIRST, then go back and get caught up. Email me if you need help getting organized. I’M HERE TO HELP!
Your tasks for this week are near the bottom of this post I have broken it down by subject. This is for the WHOLE week, so please use my sample schedule to try and plan your week out. The workload has been adjusted due to the 4-day week this week. If you need help creating a schedule, please let me know. My sample schedule is located below your tasks for this week.
It is very important that you complete your assignments. Once you complete your work, I report the amount of work you’re completing during the week to Mrs. Alcodray in our school work-log.
If you have any questions, please let me know!
I AM VERY PROUD OF ALL THE EFFORT THE TEAM IS PUTTING IN! I KNOW THIS IS ALL SO DIFFERENT, AND VERY CHALLENGING, BUT I WANT YOU TO KNOW I HIGHLY RESPECT YOUR DEDICATION TO LEARNING.

5th Grade Signs!
Hello Snow families!
When this year’s 5th-Grade class was dismissed on March 12th, little did they know they would be saying goodbye to their elementary school, along with many of the ‘lasts’ that were yet to come.
With the help of the school staff and the PTA, let’s come together and celebrate them and their years at Snow with a sign for their yard! Each sign is only about $5. You can donate at the secure link here. Congrats class of 2020!
REMINDER: LIVE LEARNING SESSION TODAY AT 1:30 PM.
Please join the call using the instructions that were emailed to you.
As always, I will be taking attendance.
I look forward to meeting with all of you!
Pictures Wanted, Please!
Hello!
Ms. Alsaad (Enrichment Teacher) is planning on creating a short graduation video for our 5th graders. She would like to create a collage of all the students and post it for them to watch at the end of the year. With your permission, please email her one or two pictures of your child: alsaadz@dearbornschools.org If you do not wish for your child’s picture to be in the video, we totally respect that!
Please contact Ms. Alsaad about any concerns or questions you may have.
Thank you!
Reminder: Live Video Learning Session Today at 1:30!
We continue to have our live learning sessions every Tuesday and Thursday at 1:30 pm using BIG BLUE BUTTON. The link can be accessed through our iLearn classroom via Clever.
Hoping to see the team there!
