Week 3/23/2020

Hello Parents and Friends, 

Here we are in our 2nd week of remote learning.  Thank you for all being patient and working hard.  Here is a schedule of what is expected of you each day.  For example, you look at Monday and scroll down. You will see activities that need to be done for ELA, Math, Brain Break, Social Studies and Science. You are only expected to finish those listed for Monday. You do not need to continue on to Tuesday or any other day.  When it is Tuesday, you are expected to do the work listed under Tuesday and so on. 

Thursday and Fridays are Make up days– which means any work that wasn’t finished can be done those days.  I will be checking your work daily. I know I have the best third graders in the world and you will get your work done. 

Also, you need to keep up with Gym, Music, Science Enrichment, and Art.  Check out their blogs.

Mrs. Faryniarz asked you to check out her blog:

You can reach me on classdojo for any questions or concerns.

Remember to read everyday even on Saturdays and Sundays!!

Dear parents:
In this challenging situation , we, the staff at Oakman, are working hard to assist our students in mitigating any learning loss, and doing our best to keep things in their normal pace as if school days are on! We understand that everyone is under some kind of pressure and have a different way of dealing with this challenge . We will continue to offer our students the best possible opportunities to learn and stay mentally connected . We also understand the huge role you play as a parent/ Guardian. Without your guidance , most of these learning opportunities will serve as a time filler only . We encourage you to stay positive and to help your child/ children do the best they can when it comes to digital learning. Remember that your children will look up to you as the sound of reason in these confusing times! Let’s work together to help our students , your children, stay ahead of the game and if not ahead, let’s keep them as close as possible . This only works if we did this as a team – one part is school ( digitally) and the other part is home ( you guiding and assisting your children through remote learning). Please know that we’ll post start and end time for the digital work to motivate students to complete not to stress you. We also will give our students a chance to catch up with the work twice a week. May God help us all in navigating through this challenging and difficult time. And please remember that we can overcome this by practicing safe measures and by helping each other !
Best regards,
Oakman Staff

Do You Need a Chromebook?

Dear Oakman parents,

This is definitely a tough and strange time for all of us! However, we can’t give up or give in ! We need to be resilient and benefit from the time as much as possible. 

All Oakman teachers will continue to provide online learning enrichment to all students. We highly encourage you to take advantage of this opportunity in order to keep our students abreast with their learning. Dearborn Public Schools has been super active in this and offering all students multiple venues to be an active learner. 

For the past two days, chrome books were prepared and loaned out to families ( 1 per family) if they needed it. 

Tomorrow Friday March 20, 2020 @ 11:30, we’ll do our last  distribution of chrome books to any family who didn’t get the chance to get one yet. Please take advantage of this offer and stop by the school starting at 11:30 AM – door # 10 off Orchard street to pick up a device for your children who attend Oakman school. We ask that you bring a state ID with you and also to remain in your car and a teacher volunteer will hand you the chrome book. 

Please be advised that quantities are limited and will given on a first come first serve basis. If you had obtained a chrome book, we kindly ask you not to request another one. 

Thank you and please stay safe.
