Hi kids, I miss you guys already…

So I wanted to give you guys an idea of how the next few weeks will look. I want you guys to check the blog every Monday to see what you have for homework that week. Everything will be due that Friday. For example, if I assign homework on 03/16, then it will be due on 03/20. You can take your time to do it during the week. There will be articles on Readworks or MSTEP Practice or some math pages from your books or some chapters to read and write about from your Social Studies books. If you have any questions about anything, you can email me (islamn@dearbornschools.org)! I showed you guys how to do that on Thursday. Or you can ask me on Remind.

Don’t worry too much about what’s going on and stay safe everyone. We will be reunited soon! I miss and love you guys <3 <3

There will be no homework tonight. Students, check the blog sometime on Monday on 03/16 to know what you have for homework that week.
