Hello,
If you do not want to read today, then do the read theory today. If you did not start read theory, today is a good day to do your three quizzes for this week. Also, you can make up missed quizzes. You should do 3 read theory quizzes each week! I know this is challenging because there is reading and questions after, but try your best. Each quiz is tailored to each students level, so the better you answer, the harder your quizzes and questions get (so that is a good sign 🙂 ) HAPPY READING!
Remember any questions, comments, concerns, email me. I am here for you.

Hello, Here is the link to the written story City of Ember.

Today the weather is rainy and it is a perfect day to snuggle in a blanket and read a book. Please do not fall behind on your readings, as we are already on week 4. The summaries you wrote are written so well and I am impressed. Keep up the good work! Remember you are getting points for each summary you turn in and it will affect your grade. Let me know if you have any questions. Look forward to reading week 4 summaries 🙂

Email information- No reply = no response

Hello, Google “Reply” to no reply account

Some students are replying to messages sent from google classroom thinking that the teacher is receiving them but she/he is not. If you send a message to a teacher from a google email you must type the teachers name to reply, otherwise it goes to a no-reply account and the teacher does not get it. I even ran into this earlier where some students are saying they are emailing me but I am not receiving anything.

Basic message that needs to be relayed to the kids:
You CAN NOT hit reply on Google Classroom announcements from your teachers. If you want to contact your teacher, you must type their name into the “to” line.

SIDE NOTE: Summaries for the CITY OF EMBER must be your original work. I am not accepting summaries from online sources. I know your writing abilities so please do not plagiarise thinking that it is okay. I want to see your work and know that you understood the book that we are reading. Thank you (no one copy spark notes or wikipedia thank you),
-Ms. Salamey

Reminder

Dear Everyone,
I will be adding grades to the gradebook. I want to remind everyone that you will get a report card grade (A, B, C, etc.) so please do the work. Don’t forget to do your paragraph summaries on THE CITY OF EMBER under the classwork tab. Thank you all for doing a good job. I am excited to continue reading your summaries on the novel.

REMINDER: 6th and 7th graders, you are scheduling your electives with Mrs. Bartley this week. She sent you a message with all the information you need! Go check your email and remember, your deadline is Friday!

virtual Office Hours

Hello,
Everyone! I miss you all! I hope you are all doing well and HAPPY RAMADAN and early EID!
I have posted the third week summary for CITY OF EMBER. The summaries you are doing are excellent. Some students are making connections with the text as well and that is great!
I just wanted to update you that on Fridays I will have virtual office hours where you can contact me online (or parents) if you have any questions. My hours are from 1 to 1:30 PM. Always feel free to email me any questions you have. Thank you,

Online Learning Continued

Hello Class,
I hope all is well and you are enjoying the weather today! This week we will continue reading City of Ember and writing our summaries for a grade! The place where you submit your essay is under the classwork tab! Please email me if you have any questions.
We will NOT have a live video chat meeting this week. Remember I accept late work. Even if your summary from last week is turned in today, you will still get points. Remember you will be getting a report card grade so you should be doing the work. For any circumstance you can not do the work, let me know. I am excited to read your summaries on The City of Ember.
Don’t forget to also do your read theory because I will be checking that for points too. In addition, don’t forget to silent reading from your library books, or any books or EPIC website! Thank you,
