Good morning everyone. Hope all is well. I put some of the assignments on Google Classroom this morning. I also reminded students to work on Raz, Zearn and Moby Max. I assigned a new story on Raz. Students should be on Module 4 lesson 31 in Zearn. If your child is behind, encourage them to work on catching up. The Moby Max contest includes many more activities than the last contest. Encourage your child to participate.

Students should work on Spelling (I put the words on Google Classroom), WOW journal (I put on Classroom but you can have your child continue to write on paper or google drive. Whatever works best for you is fine for me), Raz Kids, Zearn( plus the homework book) and Moby Max.

My office hours are 9-3 M-F. I am here to answer questions or help in any way.

See some of you at our Reading Lesson today!!!

This week we will begin lessons using Hangouts. I will conduct these lessons in small groups. I plan on meeting with your child twice a week in these small groups. I am going to try and stick with a consistent schedule each week however, I can be flexible if the day and time absolutely does not work for you. I will schedule these lessons in Hangouts and you will get an email inviting you just as we’ve done before. I would like each child to have a pencil and paper ready to go at the meetings. I’d also appreciate it if the students become familiar on how to mute and unmute his/her microphone while in lessons. I will talk with each student at our first meeting so he/she understand that he/she must keep the microphone on mute until it is time to ask and answer questions. See you 2 times this week!!! :>

Few things are due today= Biography, Spelling, WOW journal and some Science. Please check Google Classroom for the assignments. Please send the Biography in Google Docs to my email if you haven’t already done so. Spelling activities and WOW if done on paper can be sent via email too. Take a picture and send it to me. If these were done on Google Docs, send it via email. Some of the assignments in Google Classroom can be “turned in” there. Have a good day!

I fixed the Readworks issue with passwords. I linked Readworks through Google Classroom so students should be able to go directly to the article and read and answer the questions. Thanks for letting me know the issue and I thank you for your patience during this new way of teaching my class.

To organize assignments in Google Classroom, I created a new class called Ms. Truxall’s Science Class. I’ll be posting Science assignments here. You’ll have to join this class. The code is krmecmt.

Moby Max- Today begins the new contest. I have included almost all of the subjects. I didn’t add alphabet letters or those that are for early learners. You are all beyond those skills. The contest runs through June 5. Good Luck!

Raz kids- When you visit Raz kids, I assigned you all a new book to read and quiz to take.

Remember to do Zearn and math homework book 1 lesson per day.

Wow Journal- write a journal entry 1 per day.

Visit Epic

Complete Spelling – found on Google Classroom

Please email me any questions you have. All of this is new and very challenging for everyone. Stay well and healthy. Miss you all.

Please join Google Classroom if you haven’t done so. I have 12 students now!!! I need all of you. Class code is gv5utec. Please let me know if you have any trouble.

I added a Spelling Assignment to Google Classroom today.

Reminder that the Biography is due this Friday, April 17. Please send it from Google Docs to my email.

I sent a Hangouts invite this morning for the Moby Max Dance Party on Wednesday, April 15 at 7pm. Hope to see you all then.

Keep working on Raz, Moby Max, Epic, Wow, Zearn, Math Homework Book, Spelling, Mystery Science and ABCya.

I have 10 students that have joined already! I encourage the rest of you to join. I added Mystery Science “Why is there sand at the beach?” handouts for you to complete the lesson. I will post extension activities on a different day. Rip up those rocks as they go down the river!!!!

The Moby Max Reading Contest is complete. I am so proud of all of you in your work that you’ve done over our closure. I want to recognize and congratulate the top 5. They are Amreen with 6,628 points, Jolie with 3,318 points, Sara S. with 2,175 points, Celine with 1,003 points and Aya with 947 points. Congratulations to our top 5 leaders in this contest! Yahoo! Congratulations to all of you that participated. To celebrate everyone in this contest, we will have a DANCE PARTY this Wednesday, April 15 at 7pm. Mrs. Bush will also join us for our Dance Party! Keep a look out for Hangouts invitation in your email.

For added fun, students can dress up in a costume, wear a funny hat or dress in your favorite outfit. Let’s have some fun and celebrate your accomplishments! See you Wednesday!

Mrs. Bush and I are meeting today to discuss starting a new contest this Thursday, April 16.You are free to continue to work on any part of Moby Max as part of your Home School learning.

It is Monday, April 13 and I hope all of you and your family are doing well! Some changes to Home School today. The first is over the break I set up Google Classroom for us to use for assignments. Please go to the student page on the Dearborn website. Click on Clever and then scroll down to find Google Classroom. At some point, you’ll be asked to use your school username and password. All of you know this but I’ll remind you that it is your 201number @dearbornschools.org. Your password is your birthday. Then once inside Google Classroom click the large + sign at the top of the page. Click on join class. Then put in the Class Code. The code is gv5utec. Then you are in and you will see 2 assignments to do this week. Spelling and Mystery Science! Have fun.

The 2nd change I made was to give you an assignment in RazKids. I assigned each of you a book to read and a quiz to take.

Please also remember to continue working on Zearn. No matter where you are in Zearn, please do one lesson a day. That is another change to your work. That also means to do one lesson a day in your homework book this week.

Continue on ABCya, and continue on your WOW journal.

Happy Learning this week. Next week we will have more changes.

I sent everyone an email invitation for Hangouts with me tomorrow! Hope to see everyone there. I miss you all.
