MyOn Projects are here!

Greetings!

Wondering what books your child should be reading? Problem solved with MyOn Projects! Just have your student login in to MyOn.com by entering River Oaks Elementary (Dearborn Public Schools), their username (student number) and their birthdate (MM/DD/YYYY). At the top of their home screen their will be two categories: Library and Projects. Click on Projects. There you will see three projects posted: Science, Math, and Social Studies. Each project has books to read and/or listen to about the current 2nd grade topic. The directions for each project are in the description. To see the list of books, click on the book icon in the Project box. Once students are done reading the number of assigned books, they can then click on the writing icon in the Project box to complete a short writing activity. Please note that there is a DUE DATE for each project.

We have been working on them in class, so your student should know how it works. The suggested work is to read one book from a project per night. Then they can choose books from their recommended list to read.

 

Happy reading!

Pringle Cans Needed

Do you and your family enjoy Pringles brand potato chips? If you do, I am in need of 10 tall sized Pringle cans to use in Word Work and Math Workshop. We use them to store our Power Tower activities. If you have any, please send them to school with your child. Any flavor will work, I just need the empty cans.Thanks so much!

Fire Safety House Field Trip

We will be going to the Dearborn Fire Safety House Thursday, October 15, from 9:30-11:30 am. Permission slips were sent home Friday. There are 2 forms to be completed and returned. These need to be back by this Friday, October 9th. If you are interested in chaperoning, please check the box on the form and make sure you see Ms. Debbie in the office to make sure you have a parent affidavit on file. If not, it takes just a few minutes and a driver’s license or state ID to complete the form. The affidavit takes about 10 days to be processed so make sure you get it done quickly so you can help our classroom! 🙂

Fireman Steve Visits River Oaks!

Thursday, Fireman Steve from The Dearborn FD came to visit us. We learned a lot about Fire Safety. We learned that there should be a smoke detector in every bedroom and on each floor of the house. Al;so that we should never play with matches, lighters, or candles, and if we see matches or lighters where kids can get them to go tell an adult. We also learned about what to do in case of a fire. Everyone should sleep with their door closed to slow down fire and smoke, and that kids should be able to open their own bedroom window by themselves in case that is the only way to get help. Also every family needs to have a planned escape route with two possible exits and a meeting place a safe distance from the house like a tree, driveway, or neighbor’s house. Families should practice their escape routes so in case of fire you can remain calm.

We also learned what to do if our clothes get caught on fire. Stop, Drop and Roll!

Thanks Fireman Steve!
