Farewell Parade Schedule
Hello Addison Parents and Students,
We have some fun planned for you! We could not let this school year end without seeing each of you again. But since we can’t celebrate the end of the school year in the normal way, we are going to say goodbye by holding parades for each grade level. Below you will find all the details. Find your teacher’s date and time for your class’s parade. All you need to do to participate in this summer farewell is this: Decorate your car if you'd like and make posters to tell your teachers and other Addison staff goodbye. Head to the Addison bus port in your family car and line up to pass by your teachers! They can’t wait to see you. Don’t forget that you can’t get out of your car but instead we will all wave and cheer! You should form a line of cars that will begin in the bus port, and if you arrive early, you can turn into the main parking lot and wait in the carpool line until it is time for you to head to the bus port. We anticipate that the line will form but should keep moving easily. We can’t wait to see you to celebrate the end of this school year! Special note: We have a banner that will be hanging in the bus port that is especially for our 5th graders. We will leave it up after the parade for several days so that you can drop by later and have your picture taken with it! Here is the schedule:

Addison Personal Item Pickup
Just in case you didn't receive the email or it went into your spam folder:
Families will be able to pick up their child’s personal belongings on Thursday, May 14. Teachers will be placing your child’s items in a bag labeled with their name. These bags will be placed by classroom in the cafeteria. You will be assigned a specific time to pick up your child’s items based on last name. In order to ensure a safe environment, individuals will be required to wear a mask and only a small number of people will be able to enter the building at a time. Families will be entering the building from the front entrance, walking to the cafeteria to retrieve items, and exiting the building at the bus port.
Pickup times:
9am-10am Last Names A-E
10am-11am Last Names F-K
11am-12pm Last Names L-R
12pm-1pm Last Names S-Z
Although we miss everyone and would love to have the opportunity to visit with our Addison Families, teachers and staff will not be available. We are asking that people follow social distancing guidelines and stay at least 6 ft apart from others while waiting to enter the building. Also, our school is still closed, including all other areas of the building and playgrounds.
To help make this process as easy as possible, please plan on coming to school at your assigned time. If you are unable to come at that time, we will be open on Friday, May 15, from 9am-11am for any remaining families to retrieve items. All items not picked up by 11am on Friday will be donated or discarded.

Wednesday, May 6th, Digital Learning Day 31
Math / AC Math:
Deductive reasoning is a type of logic reasoning which is needed for problem solving. You will use this today to solve problems about geometry. This type of reasoning is sometimes called as top-down thinking or moving from general to specific. Deductive reasoning relies on given true statements (also called premises). Based on these true statements, you can arrive at your conclusion or solutions.
Fun fact: Sherlock Holmes, the detective character from books and movies, is a great example of someone who uses deductive reasoning all the time. He draws conclusions by observing the situation, and he uses these observations to find the criminal and solve the crime.
Please use the following link to solve 3 geometry problems using deductive reasoning. Think of it as riddles. Use scratch paper to work them out and involve your siblings or parents once you have solved them (or to help you solve). Use your Office 365 (or Microsoft) login.
Reading: Please click on the link and listen to the story Emmanuel's Dream. Once you have finished listening and reading along with the story, click on the link below to answer a few questions. The questions focus on character traits, how a character responds to a challenge, and summarizing the text. You will need to log into Office 365 to answer the questions and submit. You may work on this today and tomorrow.
Social Studies: Click on the link to view the Sway on President Lyndon B. Johnson (LBJ) . After reading the passage on him, click the link at the bottom of the presentation to answer 10 questions. Refer to the passage as needed to complete the form. Use your Office 365 (or Microsoft) login.
