Hi there, I hope everyone had a great long Easter weekend!

Our spelling words for this week are Greek roots. They must know the root and its meaning, spelling both correctly. The list includes: bio= life, auto= self, logy= study, micro = small, morph =form, scope = viewing instrument, therm = heat, hydro = water, dyna= power, and chrom= time.

We begin M-Step testing next week, on Tuesday (April 30). We will be testing the following week of May 6, as well. This will be directly followed by NWEA testing. Please remind your student of the importance of focusing, trying their best, and building their stamina to work hard. Please also make sure students are getting a good night’s sleep and eating a healthy breakfast on those days.

Students have practiced in school, but there are many resources they can use to practice at home, including:
-Read Theory
-Khan Academy (sign in through Clever, go to khanacademy.org/mappers)
-M-STEP practice through the Dearborn Students Portal
-Zearn

If you have any questions, let me know.
