Happy Monday Everyone! Here is a look at today:

Big Blue Button: This is a new platform that the district is using to do video lessons/chats with students. I did the training this past week and I would like to try it this week with students! Students do have to enroll in order to have access, here is how to do it:
1. Go to dearbornschools.org
2. Go to the Student Portal
3. Click the iLearn Classrooms icon. It looks like this (highlight in orange)

4. Students may have to login again using their school’s username and password (this is how they would login to their chromebooks)
5. Once on iLearn, you will see a box that says ENROLLMENT CODE at the very top.
6. Students need to type in our class enrollment code: htezzz
7. They will be enrolled in my course and will see a link called Virtual Sessions Hull under the Big Blue Button topic. That is how they will join our video chats! It works the same as Google Hangouts/Meets.

Students cannot join the session until I am in. We will do our sessions on Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday. I will put more information on Tuesday that you need to know. Try to enroll in the iLearn course by Tuesday please. Let me know if you have troubles!

Reading

-This week we are not doing a Readworks article, instead- I have assigned a whole class book on Raz Kids called: Who Likes Lemonade. It ties in so nicely with that we learned last week in Social Studies. Students need to read and do the quiz by Friday. The goal is to get a 8 out of 10 or higher. You can keep retaking as long as you need! This will be due Friday.

If you forget how to login or access Raz Kids- here is how:

Hi Parents!

I am going to have Math Module 5 books available during your pick up time if you want to take those. That is the only thing from my room that I am going to have out to pick up and take home. Please read the directions from Ms. Tiba below

Dear Parents, 

This week we will be offering a pick-up of some instructional material your child’s teacher has prepared.  The prepared material will vary from class to class and your child’s teacher will let you know what you will need to pick up, if anything. To avoid large crowds and provide an opportunity for families with multiple children, the pick up will happen based on the first letter of your last name.

On Tuesday, May 5 from 1-3 pm, the pick-up will be for families whose last name starts with the letter A-M.  And on Wednesday, May 6 from 1-3 pm, will be for families whose last name starts with N-Z.  The materials will be set up on the South playground (where K-2 lineup).  

The material will be placed on carts by grade level and teacher name. We ask that parents come alone with a mask, stand in line until they are asked to come forward and collect their children’s materials from the carts.  We kindly request that you just grab the top book and do not shuffle through them and as always practice safe distancing.  There will be cones and tape on the floor to also help guide the flow.

If you have any questions, please let us know.

Stay safe,

Ms. Tiba

Happy Monday Everyone! I hope everyone enjoyed the weather this weekend- I spent a lot of time doing yard work and I even got a little sunburned!

Here is a look at our day today:

There is no spelling or grammar this week. I decided to take a break on that to focus more on reading group work and the reading activity we have this week.

Writing

-Please make sure you turn in the final copy of your opinion writing. I will be giving you feedback on it today. There is no other assignments for writing today. We are starting informational writing tomorrow.

Math

–Please make sure to take the math quiz from Friday on Google Classroom. That was your assignment instead of doing a lesson and turning it into me.

–Also, make sure to send me a picture of the home activity you did with your family this weekend. That was also part of the assignment, not just for fun. You could have played a game I posted or made up something else that related to fractions.

Today, we are going to be doing Module 5 Lesson 11. We are going to be showing equivalent fractions on a number line.
Assignment:
1. Optional: Watch the Eureka math video while trying the homework, check your answers with the answer key.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NAA2IwfU7Wg
2. Watch the virtual lessons from Great Minds.
https://gm.greatminds.org/en-us/knowledge-for-grade-4-em-m5l11
3. Problem Set. Must do: 1 a,b,c 3 a,b,c. Turn in by Tuesday
Don’t forget to try and hit TURN IN on Google Classroom so it does not show up as missing.

Reading

I decided that we are going to take a break from Readworks this week. I noticed that we are struggling a little bit with cause and effect and we didn’t get a huge chance to cover it in school, so we are going to practice that while we do another READING MYSTERY!
Assignment:
1. Watch this video to learn what the mystery is going to be about. It is called Once Upon a Crime.
https://www.jjresourcecreations.com/once-upon-a-crime.html#/
https://youtu.be/PNN0NyLi8js (I put the Youtube version just in case the first link doesn’t work)
2. Get your suspect list ready and start with Clue #1!
I have either Google Slides you can work on or you can print/write on a piece of paper. If you use Google Slides- it has all 5 clues on it. That doesn’t mean all 5 are due on Monday- just solve one clue at a time until all 5 are done by Friday. The Google Slide version will be on Google Classroom.
3. Turn all 5 clues in by Friday and tell me who did the crime!

Reading Groups

I want you to focus a lot of time to reading groups this week. It is really important that you go on Raz Kids and do your assigned reading. Blue Group and Yellow group are still finishing up their books, so they are not assigned a book on Raz Kids yet.
