CHROME BOOK - SHUT DOWN

Let it remain shut down for at least 1 hour or even better while you sleep tonight.
The shut down allows the computer to update itself so it runs more efficiently.
DCS VIRTUAL CALMING ROOM
Need a brain break? Need a place to virtually chillax and zone out for a few minutes?
Take a moment to check out our DCS Virtual Calming Room. You will find live animal cameras, online coloring books, and visual relaxation videos, to name a few.
Cameras and Google Meet - Please encourage your student to turn on the camera on Google Meet during classes. It is difficult to know if a student is on task or is understanding the material when the camera is turned off. Google Meet is releasing a new feature to blur the background that is being pushed out through the next few days.
If your family is experiencing hardship, please see THIS FLYER with information about support available within the Dublin community.
Students constructed thesis statements for their teen activist essays. We studied the structure of an essay and began working on finding evidence to support our thesis statements. Students are gathering their pre-writing for their essay on a graphic organizer. In word study, we are continuing to study the Greek and Latin roots ant, anti, contra, contro and counter meaning "against or opposite". Next week we will focus on crafting our essays.
We are wrapping up our research on our teen activist and we are preparing our graphic organizer which will be due Wednesday, March 3rd.
Students learn that converting within and between systems of measurement involves the use of conversion rates, another special type of ratio. To convert units of measurement, they use double number lines, ratio tables, scaling up or down, and unit analysis. Students use models to illustrate the meaning of a unit rate, with each quantity as the denominator. They solve a variety of unit rate problems, determining which unit rates make sense in the context of a problem. Students evaluate prices to determine the better buy and solve problems involving constant speed. Finally, they analyze scenarios and clearly identify the unit rates from tables and graphs.
