Joke of the Day:
Why doesn’t anyone like paper?
Because it is tearable! (Hahaha, get it, terrible??)
Hi yall, welcome to Monday!
Below is this week’s calendar for all 7th grade assignments:
Office Hours:
On the calendar you will see a column for teachers’ “Office Hours”. During our Office Hours, we have devoted that specific time to be responding to emails, making phone calls and meeting with students and parents on videochat. Think of Office Hours as a guaranteed time to contact teachers and get an immediate response.
This week, my Office Hours are:
- Tuesday 2-3 pm
- Thursday 2-3 pm
- By appointment (let me know in advance when you want to call/video-chat and I will schedule it)
During this time, I will be at my computer responding to your emails. If you or your parent would like to talk to me on the phone call, email me and include your phone number. If you would like a Google meet, email me for the Meet code.
Keep in mind, I am usually by my computer, and I quickly respond to emails throughout the week. So reach out anytime and you will hear back from me within an hour to two.
Video Chat This Week!!
Here is the schedule for videochat this week:
This Wednesday, April 22nd:
– 1st: 10:00 am
– 3rd: 10:30 am
– 4th & 5th: 12:30 pm
– 6th: 1 pm
Similar to last week, I will post a link to a Google Meet on Google Classroom 5 minutes before the chat starts. It will last for 20-25 minutes and it is NOT required.
Our agenda is simple. We will check in with each other, talk about the assignment, tell a couple jokes, and make sure we’re all doing okay.
Troubleshooting:
Last week there were several students who, when they clicked the video-chat link, it said “invalid”. This most often happens if you’re clicking the link when you’re NOT logged into your school email. If you forward your emails to a personal account, and in your personal email try to click the link, it won’t work.
Make sure to be logged into your “@dearbornschools.org” account when you click the videochat link!
If you’re logged in and it is still not working, then you can also use the end of the link as the meet “code.”
Example:
Let’s say this is the link for your videochat: “https://meet.google.com/lookup/thisisaexample”
- Go to https://meet.google.com/
- Go to “Join Meeting”
- When it asks you to “enter the meeting code or nickname”, use the code at the end of the link: “thisisaexample”
Email me, of course, if you’re still having trouble. I might not be able to respond right away if I am in the middle of a chat, but I will respond to you after and try to figure it out with you.
Assignment this week!
In case you didn’t know…the Greeks won the Persian Wars!! Even though the Greeks won, the city of Athens had still been burned to the ground. Despite this, Greece entered a Golden Age where many parts of Greek life and culture improved and flourished.
For this assignment, you’ll read a paragraph about five parts of Greek culture. After you read, you’ll answer the questions in the right column.
KEEP IN MIND: I care about what YOU think, not what Google says. Keep your answers in your own words and use your own thoughts.
This is posted on Google Classroom, and needs to be submitted by Friday at midnight!
Here is the grading scale for this assignment:
