Hi everyone. I hope we enjoyed the unexpected day off on Friday and that everyone has power! These next few weeks are going to be very content heavy as we begin our push for the end of marking period 3. The students will have spelling sentences due for all of the spelling words, on Thursday. There will be extra math practice sheets coming home almost daily this week that will be homework. Please check the math sheets when they are completed as they will be skills that your student is currently working on. Khan Academy should be at 75% complete by the end of the third marking period. This can be worked on by using a smartphone, tablet, or computer. Practice is done daily in class so students shouldn’t be too far off but if they need extra time, the library offers free computer usage to Dearborn residence and extra practice time can be arranged after school by talking to me.
Spelling: Prefixes- disappear, improper, miscommunication, antisocial, import, export,undone, misconception, invisible, distrust, mislead, disagree, fraction, improper, angle
