Me and My Friend
By Sam
My friend’s name is Mira. I went to the Sky Zone with Mira. I went to play dodgeball with her, and played basketball with her. Then we went to the rope swing. Also, we went rock climbing. I learned how to do rock climbing, but I cannot go more than my brother. I think Mira can go up more than me. My brother is like the master at rock climbing. Then I went with Mira on the ropes. Then I ate the cotton candy with her. Then it became night time. Finally, me and my friend Mira went home to eat and sleep.
TGIF. Well we made it to another Friday. You have been doing a great job. Just to help you plan, there is no school next Friday (22nd) and the following Monday (25th) for the Memorial Day weekend.

I’m working on a way to assess your reading levels. I will be grouping students with similar abilities, and test that level on one day and so on. Because the “google meet” has been taken away, we will have to do this differently. I will send you the text to read to me via your parent’s email about 15 minutes before I call you on the phone. Then, when I call you, you will read the story to me and answer the questions I ask you about the story. I have to get the documents ready for this, so I will let you know when its a go. So keep practicing your reading until that time.
Phone Communication
I will continue to check in with students by phone. Have your questions ready. Also, if you want to read me a story or something you have written, I would love it. If you have a special time between 8:00 and 4:00 let me know. Just so you know, Mondays and Wednesdays I pass out food at Dearborn High from 10:00-12:00, I have a meetings with my grademates at 1:00 on Tuesdays, and I have meetings with Howard school on Fridays at 11:30.
