Video Conferencing and How to Work on New Math Books 5/13

I put the schedule and the link on Google Classroom where it will stay. Please visit this site to join us on video conferencing.

Now that most of you have the math books or will be picking up the books today from 11-2, I wanted to let you know that there are a lot of pages and work involved with each lesson. It is way more than Zearn and the homework book. Please have your child watch the videos for Module 6 and have your child work on every other problem. Not all has to be completed. We often did that in class. If that’s still too much , do 8-10 problems total and move on. I don’t want frustration and giving up so please keep that in mind. Take care.

Video Conferencing 5/11

Today we will begin Video Conferencing again. Improvements have been made but sound remains an issue from time to time. We will return to our schedule below:

M&W Group 1 from 11-11:30- Hashim, Lylah, Mahdi, Mia, Sara S and Yousef

Videos instead of Video Conferencing.

This week I have posted 2 videos instead of video conferencing. Next week we will resume video conferencing through the Dearborn Schools Website. Hopefully all issues and hiccups will be resolved by then. The first video will be posted on Monday and then on Wednesday. I am reading a new book and a classroom favorite. Please have your child watch and then complete the assignments posted. Thank you for your understanding and patience.

Math Book Pick-Up 5/6 11am-2pm

Please come on Wednesday, May 6 to pick up the rest of your child’s math workbooks. The teachers were able to get into the classrooms for a bit last week to gather these materials for your child. I have Module 6-8 classroom books and homework books available. Plus, if you didn’t get Module 4 when we left back in March, those are ready too. Ms. Fournier will place the books outside and you can drive through and pick them up between 11-2. Thanks.

Video Conferencing for 4/30

Yesterday was our first try with the new video conferencing platform. We had several problems with sound and features not working properly. After talking with other teachers, I discovered they had issues too. Later in the day, the district sent an email explaining the amount of people using this video conferencing exceeded its capacity. Those in the Technology Department are working very diligently to increase that capacity. So for the time being, I am cancelling further video conferencing until all the “bugs” are worked out. My plan now is to send 2 videos next week of me reading a book and assigning a couple questions. I’ll post these videos on Google Classroom. Again, thank you for your patience during this ever changing time.

SUCCESS continued

So tomorrow at 11am, Hashim, Lylah, Mahdi, Mia, Sara S and Yousef click on the link at 11. Not too early. It will not let you in if I am not there already. Then the next group at 11:30, group 4. I hope that makes sense?? Email me if you have questions.
