Dearborn Public Schools
River Oaks is celebrating their 100th day of school on Thursday, February 6th. To celebrate, elementary students (and teachers) will come to school dressed as if they are 100 years old. PreK “technically” hasn’t yet had our 100th day of school….but lets join them for a fun, dress up day!
Dress your child like a 100 year old person on Thursday! Can you imagine how cute our little bitty kids will be?
A picture for inspiration….google “kids dressed as old people” for more cute pictures/ideas!
Does anyone have any plastic bags they could bring to school today? I forgot to grab mine from home before I left this morning.
Kroger/Meijer/Walmart etc…plastic bags work great to take home blankets/pillows to be washed.
Thank you!
Thanks to donors, children in our class were able to select a few books to take home. The box and books sent home today are yours to keep at home 🙂
Happy Reading-
At your request, here are my favorite YouTube videos that can be used for learning letter sounds and letter names!
Use the following videos to help your child learn the letter sounds and movements to the letters. A written description of the movements can be found here… https://www.yumpu.com/en/document/read/11391321/the-zoo-phonics-cast-of-characters-safari-learning
If your child can do all the movements without help, use the following videos.
Use these videos to help your child name letters fluently (quickly)! During kindergarten readiness assessment, children have 1 minute, 30 seconds to name capital letters and another 1 minute, 30 seconds to name all the lowercase letters.
Use this video if your child has a good grasp on letter names and letter sounds. This skill is used to help children break words apart when learning how to write words they do not know how to spell!
Did your child tell you that we will be having a new classmate join our Preschool class?
Ms. Aldafaii and I went to visit Sammy today, and he is excited to come to school on Tuesday! Sammy likes the color red, Power Rangers and Paw Patrol.
If you see Sammy and his mom on Tuesday, please help them learn the morning routine and find our classroom.
River Oaks PTA will be hosting the first annual cultural night on April 16, 2020 from 5:30 – 7:30 pm and they need YOUR help! To make this an amazing and diverse event, they need to put our efforts together to create a memorable night for our students, families and staff. There will be FREE food, music and entertainment!
We want to create a gallery walk/exhibit showing different countries. Each family can create a display board, bring food and/or artifacts that represent a country and share its interesting cultural facts. You can even represent a country that you’re not from.
In addition, every grade level will be assigned a continent and every class will represent a country. Your child will be part of a class project in which they will conduct research and learn about the assigned country. Come see their work!
It doesn’t stop there! We will also have a fashion show where students and parents can show off the cultural wear. Clothing must be school appropriate.
But wait! Do you own instruments and want to sign/perform in front of the school to represent your country? Do you know how to do Henna Tattoos? Please call Ms. Sandi at 313-827-6750 for more information.
To participate in this event, please fill out the form coming home soon and return to the school by Friday January 24th. We will contact you on the phone number below for further questions.
We need parents to bring in food to taste from your country.. Please help us to make this a great family event.
We will talk more Thursday at the parent meeting, but…..kids are very interested in this youtube video to practice naming letters and making letter sounds. Here is a link to practice!
How is your break going? Are you ready to come back to school? Just wanted to remind you about our fieldtrip on Wednesday.
Details about the trip can be found here: https://iblog.dearbornschools.org/bassj/2019/12/20/field-trip-details/
Remember to bring back your washed snow clothes on Monday and your rest time blanket/pillow.
Monday we will take some time talking about what we did at home over break. If you would like to send a photo with your child on Monday (emailing photos will work too) of something they did- that would be helpful. See below for examples… bassj@dearbornschools.org
