Hello All,
Due to extreme temperatures and wind chills all Dearborn Public Schools will be closed on Wednesday, January 30, 2019.
If weather conditions persist as predicted, the district will most likely remain closed. However, a decision on the status of school for Thursday will be made at a later time and most likely shared with the community on Wednesday.
Please be careful and dress appropriately if you are headed outside.

Reminders for the Week of Jan. 14th

Hello parents!

Few reminders for this upcoming week:

Yesterday the students completed the science study guide. The test will be on Monday (1-14). Have them study a little today and a little tomorrow. I will send a separate link that has the lesson on the different climates just in case they need another review.

Monday we will do our math study guide and Wednesday (1-16) will be the test.

We will continue completing NWEA for the next few weeks. We completed the reading portion and I am very proud of the results. I will send a sticky note hope once everyone is complete. Please remind students to take this test seriously and take their time.

Make sure you child is working on their multiplication facts using the skip counting strategy especially the 7’s and 8’s.

In addition, daily reading is essential to improve your child’s fluency, accuracy, comprehension and expanding their vocabulary.

Friday (1-18) will be a half day for students. Dismissal will be at 11:45. I will send another reminder Thursday.

Enjoy your weekend 😊

Reminders for Week Jan. 7

Posted by Mrs. Attia on January 7, 2019 None comments

Hello parents,

Happy New Year!!! I hope this new year will bring love, happiness and health to you and your family. I hope you enjoyed the break as much as I did. It was fun spending time with my boys and doing things we normally don’t do (like eating breakfast at 1:00).

Here’s what’s happening in our class:

I passed out the mid-module quizzes that the students took before the break. Please sign and return .

NWEA testing is starting this week. We will start with reading then we will start math next week. The week after that we will finish language and science. These dates are flexible and things might change but this is the plan so far. It is important to speak with your child about this test and to take it seriously. Mr. Martin also states this in his monthly newsletter.

We are finishing up math module 4 this week. The study guide will be sent home Monday (1-14) and the test will be Wednesday (1-16).

For science, we have will continue learning about weather and climate. This week we will focus on two questions: Why are some places always hot? and How can you keep a house from blowing away in a windstorm? The study guide will be sent home Friday (1-11) and the test will be on Monday (1-14).

For writing, we are finishing up our opinion pieces on if dogs should or should not work.

For ELA, we are continuing our essential skill on main idea and supporting details.

Thank you,

Mrs. Attia
