Good Afternoon Haigh Families! Thank you all for your patience and support as we roll out the new learning lab and hybrid schedule. I recognize that you are getting a lot of information given to you during this transition time. You should have received an email from me last week stating your child’s hybrid placement of either “A” (Monday/Thursday) or “B” ( Tuesday/Friday). If you HAVE NOT received this email or are unsure of your child’s placement, please email me. This week we will continue with the afternoon learning labs. I really enjoyed seeing the kids last week. It was a refreshing feeling of familiarity and one that I have missed!
This week we will continue to work through our Advancements in Technology unit in reading. We will read about Thomas Edison and work on inferring , text features, and responding to close reading questions using the claim, evidence, reading (CER) approach. We will also continue to work on our opinion essay information collection chart to gather information to better help us write our essays.
In math we will have a quiz on the first 4 lessons about partitioning a whole into equal parts. We will move on to topic B to learn about unit fractions and their relation to the whole. One again, PLEASE have your child catch up and complete ONE lesson EACH day on ZEARN.
In social studies last week we learned about the Three Fires Tribes in Michigan. We read articles and stories, watched a video, looked at pictures, and completed a chart. Students had to demonstrate their learning by completing a Google Slides presentation about these 3 tribes. These slides are due on Tuesday. I moved the assignment to Monday’s folder for easy access.
Please talk with your child about staying focused and Zoom live lessons. Participation is a key to success. I have also noticed students leaving 5 to 10 minutes early from math class. This is not acceptable and students should be online the entire time.
Reminders for the Week:
- Math quiz tomorrow
- Extra help math time is ONLY on Wednesday from 1:20-1:50 due to the new learning lab schedule
- In person labs each day except Wednesday is remote
- Native American Slides due Tuesday
- Please make sure your child is submitting math homework DAILY
- Please ask, review, encourage your child to complete missing assignments. Quarter 3 is a short marking period and I want all students to succeed 🙂
- Weekly assignment sheet
Looking forward to seeing my students this week 🙂
