Dearborn’s Battle Against Hunger Drive is here!

Greetings, Salina families!
This year’s fourth annual Battling Against Hunger drive is a cooperative effort between Dearborn, Edsel Ford and Fordson high schools, with help from the elementary and middle schools that feed into those buildings. Our feeder school is Edsel Ford High School. Our 4th and 5th grade classes here, at Salina Intermediate, are competing for the most canned goods or money raised! Please help our class and community by donating canned goods and/or money starting Nov. 12th through the 16th. Ofcourse, my class and students want to win the competition, but this is an amazing effort which we are privileged to be a part of.We win either way! Thanks, in advance, for your continued support! Go Wildcats! Go Mrs. Abdullah’s Class!

We’ve got IXL!

Dear Parent,

I am pleased to tell you that we will be using a website called IXL in our classroom this year. IXL is a comprehensive learning program offering unlimited language arts practice across thousands of skills—all of which are aligned to the Common Core. One of the best things about IXL is that your child can access it from home, so you have a chance to see your child’s progress!

To get your child started on your home computer, please follow these easy steps:

Go to https://www.ixl.com/signin/salinais
Enter your child’s username and password and click “Sign in.”
Click on any skill to start learning!
IXL is designed to help your child learn at his or her own pace. The program is adaptive and will adjust based on your child’s demonstrated understanding of the material. All of your child’s results will be saved, so you can monitor his or her progress anytime by clicking on Analytics. For on-the-go practice, you can download IXL’s free tablet apps for iPad, Android, or Kindle and sign in with your child’s username and password. I will be sending them home with their individual cards, which have this information on them, today.

I hope you’ll encourage your son or daughter to use IXL regularly. Here’s to a year of working together to make learning fun for your child!

Sincerely,

Safiyyah Abdullah
