Dear Parent(s)/Guardian(s),
Welcome to the 2017-2018 school year at Salina Intermediate! I am looking forward to a rewarding year full of learning with your 4th grader! During the first week of school we will be spending time getting to know each other and learning classroom routines. It is important that we create a safe learning environment for all students so that learning becomes easier to achieve for everyone.
I have put together a useful informational sheet to help you and your student become familiar with my expectations for the school year. Please take some time to read through the information
About Me:
My name is Safiyya Abdullah and this will be my 3rd year of teaching at Salina Intermediate. I was born in Lackawanna, New York and I come from a very diverse cultural background, which I love! I attended Wayne State University, earned a Bachelor’s Degree in Elementary Education, then went on to receive my Master’s Degree in in Bilingual/Bi-cultural Education with a focus on ESL. I love teaching at Salina Intermediate! I am looking forward to getting to know all of you as the school year progresses!
Homework:
Every day your child will be bringing home a homework folder that includes a reading log. The instructions for how to complete their reading logs will be included. The homework that will be given is an extension of the learning takes place in class that day. Reading is the key to your child’s success in all areas of learning, so I expect them to read five days a week for 30 minutes and write at least one sentence about what they read. Parents are required to sign their child’s reading log/planner daily. Planners and reading logs will be checked daily.
Suggested Donations:
Dearborn Public Schools supply all students with basic school supplies to use in the classroom. However, students do lose, break, and wear out many supplies. A suggested supply list is attached. It would be greatly appreciated if parents were able to donate these materials to both your student and our classroom.
