Monday, August 31
Good morning! (It’s actually Sunday afternoon, but shhhh).
I am super excited to get this school year started! We will be using Schoology to do our distance learning. I have started our class page, but as of this afternoon it is not active. I posted all your assignment on there, and if we’re lucky it will become active Monday morning. If not, I will update this iBlog Monday morning with what is expected of you.
How do you access Schoology? Here’s how!


Again, if in the morning Schoology shows nothing, then I will put up an updated iBlog post here with your Monday expectations. See you soon!
For more information about this school year, here’s Mrs. Abdulla’s Welcome Back slides.
I am excited about 2020-2021!
Want to see how excited I am? My son, Binyameen, is ready to show you!

Graduation Video
Week of June 8th
1 – iReady Diagnostic! It’s the only assignment you have this week. Please complete the WHOLE diagnostic by Friday. Do a little each day. Take your time and do not rush, however, if you take TOO long (more than a full week) it will reset your test and you’ll have to start at the beginning. Think problems through. Show me what you’ve learned this year!
2 – 5th grade GRADUATION! It’s a drive thru format and our class is at 2:30 on Tuesday!

3 – During the next week if you happen to find a LLI reading group book, school library book, classroom library book, science textbook, or other school books – there will be a box next to the school doors for you to drop it off.
4 – Please see the post about Middle Schools. It’s below this one, but here’s a quick link https://iblog.dearbornschools.org/zastrow/2020/05/26/middle-school-2020-2021/
Week of June 1st
Happy June!
This time of year we would be excited about field day and graduation and all the fun we’d have at the end of elementary school. I wish we could all be together, but it’s better to be safe and healthy right now.
Make sure to complete your Google Classroom assignments and 45 minutes of iReady at a 80% pass rate by Friday. We will have a class meeting on iLearn using BBB, but only for half an hour from 12:15-12:45. I have a meeting before and after, so we have to keep it short.

Hello all!
Eid mubarak to everyone! I hope you all were able to celebrate with family and really enjoy the time together.
This week remember to:
- Complete 45 minutes of iReady with a success rate of 80% or more.
- Complete Math, Science, and Language Arts on Google Classroom
Unfortunately, I cannot do a live session this Tuesday, my internet and computer are being glitchy. I will hopefully be ready next week.
I will post a second post in a few minutes about middle school. So please refer to that.

Hello!
This week I am stressing that you complete 45 minutes of iReady. Many are almost there, but stop right below the 45 minutes. If you can’t do it all in one day, chunk it. If not sit uninterrupted for 45 minutes and get it done!
There are also the Language Arts, Math, and Science Google Classroom Assignments. I skipped Social Studies in hope that everyone will finish iReady during that time.
Make sure to log into iLearn tomorrow to come to our meeting! Instructions are below on previous post.
