Mrs. Majetic's Class

Happy St. Patrick’s Day! I have a favor to ask of you, would you check-in with your friends to see if they are connected to this blog? Thank you in advance! Here is the homework for today:

2. Read “Good Fit” books for 30-45 minutes.

I miss you all and hope you are keeping busy and staying healthy. Please feel free to email me with any questions or just to say “hi” at majetir@dearbornschools.org.

Good Afternoon,

Thank you for your patience as we all transition to online learning. Due to the many logistical issues that are being worked out (my family included), I will start us off slowly. Each day I will post what students are expected to accomplish for that day. If students need to access any documents or to turn in any assignments, that will be done through Google Classroom.

I will be checking students’ progress on iReady, ZEARN, and Google Classroom Assignments frequently and contacting parents if students fall behind or are not putting forth their best effort.  Please encourage them to take this seriously and follow the guidelines and expectations that have been established in the classroom throughout the year.  

If you cannot access the internet or a particular website (i.e. ZEARN or iReady) please let me know and I will do my best to help you.  If you do not have computer/smartphone/tablet access at home please also let me know.  

Today, we are going to start off slowly. Your assignments are as follows:

1. Complete 25 minutes on iReady.  
2. Read “Good Fit” books for 30-45 minutes.  
3. Complete one lesson on ZEARN
