Mrs Harrison’s Econ Iblog

Good afternoon everyone,

I hope you’re having a great week so far. I’m sorry for the late post today but here are a few important things for today.

Free Meal Pick Up Provided by Dearborn Public Schools:

Starting today (March 17^th), Dearborn Public Schools will offer free pickup breakfast and lunch to all of our students at any of the following six school locations: Fordson High School, Dearborn High, Edsel Ford High School, McCollough/Unis Middle School, Salina Intermediate and Woodworth.

The grab-and-go meals will be available from 10 a.m. to noon from now through April 3^rd. Hopefully they will extend it over spring break (April 6^th through 10^th)

This is a great resource and if it can be useful to your family any child age 18 or younger is invited to receive a meal. Be sure to bring your younger siblings along with you so you can all have enough to eat.

Please enroll in the Google Classroom for your hour and complete the assignments for this week. I know that this new way of learning is not easy, but we will work on ways to make sure we are still preparing for the upcoming M-Step and SAT. Feel free to ask any questions you may have. Email me or send me a remind message anytime!

Please sign up for my new Google Classroom sites!!

Hi students,

Given Gov. Whitmer’s announcement yesterday, we will not be having classes until April 13. During the time off, we encourage you to study for your upcoming SAT and M-STEP tests. You can use Khan Academy to study for ELA and Math.

To study for the Social Studies M-STEP, we encourage you to work on the High School Social Studies M-Step Review . To enroll in the course, please follow these steps:

1. Go to moodle.dearbornschools.org.
2. Enter this enrollment code: tjw35f
3. There are questions for each standard for World History, U.S. History, Economics, and Government, along with a reading, YouTube video, and a Quizlet Deck to review vocabulary.
4. If you do not want to work on all of it, I recommend focusing on Government or Econ (whichever class you are currently taking).
