Mrs. Keebler's Blog

Hello all!
I will be posting activities for our students via my blog and Tammy suggested that I ask all of you to post the link to my blog on your blogs:https://iblog.dearbornschools.org/hardens/ If you could also let them know to subscribe, that would be great!   For those who have class dojo, please send me an invite if you haven’t already done so.  Thanks so much!  
For those of you with little ones at home, I will be posting some fun and engaging music resources that you can use too.  Here is hoping that we can all be together again soon!

Backgrounds – We are getting very close to being able to publish our book. I just need a few more things from people. There are still quite a few people who have not turned in their background. These people are still missing it: 1,2, 4, 5, 9, 11, 12, 14, 15, 18, 20, 23, 25. If they do not have their paper they may pick on of the following to color. Backgrounds

Once the background is colored please send me a colored scanned copy of the background in jpeg format. If you are not able to do this I will use one of the other students backgrounds to put on your students. Here are a few to choose from if you can’t sent me your own.

Option 1

Option 2

Option 3

Send me order forms – The other thing I need is a picture of the order form for the book. Please send me a picture of the order form whether or not you are ordering the book. If I get 80% of the forms return they will give us a free book for the classroom. If you are not ordering the book please check the box that you are not ordering and sign the form. Here is a copy of the form.

Cover Art- We need a student do design the cover of our book. If you have an idea for the cover of the book. Please draw it up and send me a jpeg copy. The book title is the Keeber’s ABC of Friendship. Please include the title in your drawing.

Spelling Activities – We will continue to do our spelling activities as normal:

Monday – Vocabulary Match

Tuesday – ABC Order

Wednesday – Practice test

Friday – Test

Please make sure your student has done their activities this week before taking the test today. I will keep this week’s test – Week 22 open until Monday. I will open Week 23 today for those who want to get started.

Writing homework – we will continue to do our writing homework as usual. I just posted next week’s writing due by Wednesday at 7 PM.

Here are assignments for the next 3 weeks of work. If you have any questions or concerns please contact me on my email keeblek@dearbornschools.org or Class Dojo.

Students should be practicing on IXL as much as possible to be preparing for the M-STEP test. This is scheduled to begin when we get back in April.

I also created a Google form for you to vote for your favorite door for March is Reading month. Vote Here

Stay safe and healthy!!

We had 8 missing students today due to a couple in injuries and also people who are concerned about the Coronavirus. In order to insure that everyone continues to learn and doesn’t miss anything I would like to draw attention to how to find today’s work or any days work online. Here is the link to my sub plans. This should have most things that you need attached right to the plans. To find this without the link go to my blog, then Teacher resources, then click on the top link.

If you have any questions or concerns about work please email or send me a ClassDojo message. I will do my best to answer all questions.

Important this week – Make sure your student has completed their Friendship story, and their background for their story. If they did not get their background finished and need a new copy here is a link to the choices. Pick one, color and I need a good color scan or return to the school.

I am sending home order forms today for our book we are publishing. Students are working hard on the artwork and writing for the book. Our publication date is quickly approaching. If you are interested in purchasing our book please fill out the form and return it before Friday. If you are not interested in purchasing the book, please return the form anyway. The class will win a free book if we return all the forms. If you would like to see a sample book please let me know. I can also show what it is starting to look like online.

This week’s Star of the Week –   Layana She will make a poster board (NOT foam board) for Monday, bring a favorite book on Tuesday, bring sharing on Wednesday.

Only one thing per day.  Next week’s Star of the Week will be Siham.
