Happy Tuesday! I am happy that most of you are trying to keep up with the work in a timely manner. The guidelines are stated in the Dearborn Plan – please read through it if you haven’t. (For those of you that don’t complete the work daily, on time, and don’t connect with me – […]
5th Grade Schedule
The three 5th grade teachers collaborated to come up with a schedule to meet the needs of our students AND meet the guidelines set by the district. It is so hard to find a balance. Here it is (for now, hopefully it works well): https://docs.google.com/document/d/1-FEszLkd0CS-NPse_5rYodWvOEyvnlABMN6t_FPCj3s/edit?usp=sharing If you care to, email me your thoughts: AlbertA@dearbornschools.org.

Happy Monday! I hope all parents and students have had time to read the Superintendent’s and Dearborn’s Continuity of Learning Plan, https://dearbornschools.org/services/dearborn-public-schools-continuity-of-learning-plan/. Addiionally, Howard’s Plan can be found here: https://howard.dearbornschools.org/2020/04/17/update-superintendent-message-regarding-approval-of-the-continuity-of-learning-plan/#more-3782.

Moby Max
Dear Parents, I am not trying to make this online overwhelming in any way. I chose “Moby Max” because (1) many students are used to the program from 4th grade or earlier (2) these skills are connected to foundation knowledge which is important overall. Many students are simply “clicking through” the Social Studies study skill […]

Happy Friday! I hope today is Old Man Winter’s Last Hurrah for spring. I could use some sunshine AND warm temperatures. Next week, the District will formally release the expectations for online learning. As I have been informing you, the work is really not considered “Enrichment.” The previous work does count in our records and […]

Happy Thursday! I was able to “see” my mom yesterday when I dropped off groceries for her and my father in her garage. (I didn’t see my dad, however, as he sleeps frequently.) They are doing as well as can be expected and for that I am VERY grateful. I have been able to make […]
