April 13-17 Week 4 of at Home Learning
Greetings,
I hope everyone enjoyed their Spring Break, and stayed safe and healthy.
Just to let you know there will be some changes to our schedule next week as Dearborn Schools figure out our plan for the rest of the school year. Until then we will follow my plan.
This week’s plan
I am doing the homework a little bit differently this time. I am posting the weekly plan at once to give you a chance to know what is the learning plan for the week. Also, I am assigning homework on Google Classroom for the entire week at once. I am hoping this will give a chance to students to work with their families at their own pace. All assignments are on Google Classroom.
I am flexible with assignments please communicate with me if you have any questions or concerns. I am very understanding of the whole challenging circumstances that you’re going through. I will also have virtual office hours on Tuesdays and Thursday so students can ask questions or need help. I will post the hours on Class Dojo and Google Classroom.
Here is a look at our week!

Again, this is only the weekly plan, and Google Classroom has the detailed assignments. Google Classroom can be accessed from Dearbornschools.org/ students gmail. Let me know if you need help!
Have a great and healthy Week,
Mrs. Shakarchi

Happy Spring Break
Greetings,
I wanted to pop in and hope that everyone is safe and healthy! We are on a break from 4/6/2020 to 4/12/2020. We will have no emails, iBlogs, or homework during that time! All assignments and communications will resume on 4/13/2020. During the break, your child may continue Zearn, Raz-Kids, and reading for at least 30 minutes a day!
Please enjoy this well deserved vacation with your family! It has been tough three weeks on everyone, especially that we all have to switch to online learning. Thank you for staying in communication with me.
If your child is missing anything, please have them complete and return the assignments before 4/13/2020. During this difficult time, I understand that you are dealing with many situations with your families, therefore, I am very flexible and understanding. Our communication is key to the success of your child. Please let me know if you need any help with finding and turning in assignments on Google Classroom! I will communicate with you after the break if your child is missing any work.
I am looking forward to seeing all of my amazing students on Google Hangout the week we return to school. Please check Google Classroom on Sunday, April 12 for the upcoming week.
Have a healthy and restful spring break.
Respectfully,
Mrs. Shakarchi

~Reading:
RL 3.7 Explain how specific aspects of a text’s illustrations contribute to what is conveyed by the words in a story (e.g., create mood, emphasize aspects of a character or setting)

Language Arts:
Students will study grammar and language review Monday-Thursday. Study guides comes home Thursday and the quiz will be on Friday.

Math:
OBJECTIVE: students recognize area as an attribute of two-dimensional regions. They measure the area of a shape by finding the total number of same-size units of area required to cover the shape without gaps or overlaps, a square with sides of unit length being the standard unit for measuring area. Students understand that rectangular arrays can be decomposed into identical rows or into identical columns. By decomposing rectangles into rectangular arrays of squares, students connect area to multiplication, and justify using multiplication to determine the area of a rectangle.
Homework: pages will be assigned daily from the succeed book. Sometimes, homework will also be in the weekend. Quizzes and tests will be announced on Class Dojo and Planners.
Math using Technology: Zearn and Mobymax
Social Studies: History of Michigan
