Good Morning,

This is the final post of the year for my blog. I hope is that everyone has a great summer and that next year is a little more normal than what we have experienced over the past 3 months! I am going to share the weekly rundown below and a link to the 8th grade calendar. Have a great summer!

Monday- Finish all missing work. I will be grading last week’s assignments and inputting any late work I find in Google Classroom. Outside of late work, the gradebook will be finished.

Tuesday: I will be having one last BBB meeting on iLearn if you would like to stop in to say hello!

Please email me when you submit any missing work with the name of the missing assignment.

REMEMBER THAT ALL WORK IS DUE BY MIDNIGHT TONIGHT! Most of you have done a great job of staying on top of the work, but you need to look at your Student Connect TODAY and complete anything that is missing.

Thursday- I will be posting final grades this day. I will also be making recommendations for summer school programs based on missing work and low scores

Friday- No school! Enjoy your summer!!!

Have a great summer and please keep in touch!

Good Morning!

Here is a quick rundown of what to expect for each day this week in History class. Also, if you are missing work from any past weeks in April and May you should go back and complete as much of that as possible (as soon as possible). Remember, there are only two weeks left and I would like all missing work to be submitted by this upcoming MONDAY 6/8/20 so that I have time to go back through the work and update the gradebook.

This week:

Monday- Read Chapter 18 sections 1 and 2 and answer the Google Form Questions

Tuesday- Finish sections 1. Office Hours 12:30pm-1:30pm via email.

OFFICE HOURS UPDATE: For the next 2 weeks, office hours will NOT be held using a BBB meeting. Instead, I will be posting a question on Google Classroom about the work we have done in the past month for you to answer. Your response WILL BE GRADED AND ENTERED INTO THE GRADEBOOK!

Good Morning,

Hello Vikings!

Just because we are going through this trying time and are stuck at home, doesn’t mean that we can keep up with our fitness! So, I created a Track Google Classroom page for you all. One this page you will find a 6 week @home workout schedule. Many of these workouts you would have seen throughout the track season at some point.
This page will allow you to communicate directly with me as you go through the workout. Share your successes, your struggles, ask questions and motivate each other to keep up with it!
If you go out for a run or walk please notify and get permission from parents. OR TAKE THEM WITH YOU!!

I will be monitoring and adding in my own motivation. IF any abuses this or posts unwanted comments, you will be immediately removed from the group and Admin and Parents will be notified.

We are all on the same team and in this together Let’s help push each other to be our best and help each other through it!

If you have any questions please email me at  wellmaa@dearbornschools.org

Hi Everyone, I hope everyone had a great Mother’s Day weekend and that you were able to celebrate that Mom in your life that has had a great impact on you in some way! Thanks to all the moms out there that are working so hard during the pandemic to help keep everyone moving forward. Today I want to give a quick rundown of what to expect for the week in History class and just like prior weeks I will share a link to the 8th grade calendar at the end of the rundown.

Weekly Rundown

Grade Update and Missing Work

I have gone back through all of the assignments and the gradebook has been updated. Many of you will see a significant change in your grades due to a change I made to make it easier for your parents to get a better picture of how much you are participating in class. Previously during the building shutdown, missing work was simply not calculated into your grade in any way and now I am calculating missing work as a 0. By doing this, it helps both you and your parents have a clearer picture of how well you are really doing.

ALSO, I am no longer looking back at the work from previous weeks UNLESS you email me and ask me to specifically check something you submitted.

If you have any questions or concerns, please let me know!

Starting next week, we will no longer be having class meetings. They will be replaced with office hours on 2 separate days – Tuesday and Thursday from 12:20 – 1:10. In order to access the Big Blue Button meeting for the office hours, you need to enroll in my iLearn course. The enrollment code is er943b and once you are logged in, you will see a link to the meeting for office hours.

Here is this week’s calendar – don’t forget to come to our virtual meeting, which can be accessed through iLearn!
