Happy Ramadan! I hope everyone is doing well and in good health. We are in our third week of The City of Ember novel activities and this week we will focus on chapters 4 and 5. I would like to thank all the students who are completing their work in a timely manner. As with previous assignments, the assignment is also due on Sunday, May 3, 2020. The third week activities have been uploaded in Google Classroom.

Dear Parents and Students,

There will be a chromebook distribution for Dearborn students on Monday, April 27, 2020. The following is a message from Ms. Hassan of Woodworth Middle School with detailed information:

We hope this message finds you all in good health. Woodworth Middle School will be handing out chromebooks to students who still need technology on Monday, April 27th from 12-2.  Parent and student ID must be present in order to get a chromebook. We will be handing chromebooks out off of Hubbard Drive facing Greenfield – Door #7.  We are asking everyone to stay in their car and drive up waiting for directions from our volunteers.  We ask everyone to adhere to the strict guidelines of social distancing in order to protect our families and our volunteers.  

I hope everyone is in good health and doing well. We starting our second week of The City of Ember. I would like to thank all the students who are completing their assignments in a timely manner. Week 2 assignments have been uploaded to Google Classroom and are due on Sunday. Again, it is important that the work is spread over the week. It might become overwhelming if you try to complete it all in one sitting. I suggest that 20-30 minutes is dedicated to ELA and you also take the time to reread the previous chapters (if necessary for comprehension). This week we will focus on Chapters 2 and 3, there’s an audio and pdf version of the text. This is followed by comprehension questions for each chapter and a character analysis project.

This is a friendly reminder that The City of Ember assignments are due today. If you haven’t completed the assignments, be sure to open the link in Google Classroom and make a copy. This will allow you to type your answers directly on the slide. Once completed, click on the Turn In button. The assignments will count towards card marking 4 grades.

Hope everyone is doing well and in good health. We are going to begin our class novel, The City of Ember by Jeanne DuPrau, for final weeks of school. Our focus between now and the end of the school year will be to complete the novel by reading and participating in the posted activities. Again, all presentations and activities will be posted in Google Classroom. Week 1 activities have been posted in Google Classroom and students will have the week to complete the assignments. I recommend that students pace the work over the course of the week and have it turned in by Sunday. I will not accept late work, since the work will become overwhelming if students are not completing them by the time they are due. If there are any questions or concerns, I can be reached by email.
