Please continue to complete Zearn. I have just assigned everyone to the lesson that everyone should be on. However, if you have been working hard on your Math and you are passed where you should be – good job! I have not changed the lessons for the people who are passed where they should be. In fact, please let me know when you finish the 3rd grade curriculum and I can assign you 4th grade curriculum to give you a head start on next year 🙂

Good afternoon – As I am sure many of you heard, governor Whitemer made a speech this morning addressing her plans for the remainder of the school year. This calendar school year (until June) has been suspended until/if restrictions are lifted. Students and staff will not be reporting to school in order to slow the spread of the virus. However, teachers are to continue to post work, help and relationships with their students. Therefore, my plans look very similar to what they have been thus far.

Half of the class has not attended a Google Hangout or communicated with me in anyway yet since the school closure in mid March. This concerns me greatly. If you do not complete the school work that I am posting and do not maintain relationships with me and your classmates, pertaining to your schoolwork, I worry that the work load will be an extreme difficulty for you when we do return to Nowlin. If you are having issues with the Chromebook that Nowlin passed out, or can not get the internet, please let me know so that I can assist you.

I continue to look forward to this new adventure of teaching and learning over the computer with all of you! Please message me on Class Dojo if I can help with anything.

Good evening – the link below will take you to this week’s school work. (March 30 – April 3)

Whitmer Administration: School Food Service Considered Critical Infrastructure, Should Continue

“Gov. Whitmer is committed to ensuring that Michigan students have access to the food they need during the COVID-19 pandemic. Under the governor’s executive order, K-12 school food services are considered critical infrastructure and should continue. The governor deeply appreciates the vital work that our frontline school employees are doing every day to ensure that our kids have the food they need while the order is in effect.”

Good evening, families. I have attached the weeks work below. I have changed the way that students are doing Math. Students will only complete two new Math lessons each week, with the other three lessons just being review for the students of lessons that we have already done together. I have added a Writing portion, please click the link on the document to learn more about it. I have also included a website that students can explore to enrich their learning in social studies.
