We had a blast on zoom, from scary stories, snacks, movie, and tons of Halloween activities! Please have a great day and be safe!
Below are some of the cool costumes kids wore and my dogs who joined the celebration!
Students have taken the NWEA and have adjusted to Zoom School! We have our routines down and are learning together new ways to improve our skills in Zoom. They shared screens, had discussions in breakout rooms , navigated Schoology, and even had parents join in a brain break dance from Gonoodle! It’s a new way of learning but we are all doing it together!
Great start to our first virtual learning week! Zoom meetings, orientation, and material pick up! Students are adapting quickly . I’m very excited to see what this year will bring with such an amazing class!
This year will be different, challenging and great. I can’t wait to see all my new students on Zoom Monday, August 31st . I will share information as it is given to me to keep all parents current.
We will have an orientation all next week with special times allotted to promote social distancing and keep everyone safe. I’m asking that only one parent come with your child for the time assigned to adhere to safety regulations. I will go over schoology , where student will view and turn in assignments. If you can’t attend this meeting, other arrangements can be made. Next, I will go over Zoom, our video conferencing device for students. Schedules will be given and virtual rules discussed. You will have a brief overview of our new Benchmark Universe literacy program and learning labs. Hopefully you will leave with some insight and information about the upcoming year.
I will be sending remind requests and calling to get scheduling times soon.
I can also be reached at Mokdadm@dearbornschools.org for any questions.
Looking forward to meeting everyone!
