Dear Parents of 3rd Grade Students,
At Oakman Elementary, we began our at home online learning during the COVID 19 crisis using “Google Apps for Education.”
What is Google Apps? https://dearbornschools.org/departments/technology/
Students need to know:
Students will follow school policies for appropriate use when using Internet based services like Web 2.0 applications & Google Apps. These services are considered an extension of the school’s network. Students have no expectation of privacy in their use as school and service administrators have the right and ability to monitor user accounts for policy and security enforcement.
Parents need to know:
Student email is archived and the student Acceptable Use Policy will be enforced. School staff will monitor student use of applications when students are at school. Parents are responsible for monitoring their child’s use of applications when accessing programs from home. Students are responsible for their own behavior at all times.

- All 3rd graders in Ms. Habhab’s class will be expected to read at least 40 books this year during independent reading at home.
- You will be reading 40 (or more) books this year (beginning 9/6/22) and keeping track of the titles and genres on your Reading List sheet.
- You will be reading from a variety of genres in order to explore books you might not ordinarily read, and to develop an understanding of literary elements, text features, and text structures.
- Books that have been read (or will be read) in class cannot count, even if the student re-reads the book.
- Students may ask the teacher, librarian, classmates, or their families for recommendations, but there are no specific title requirements
- Any book with more than 200 pages will count as 2 books.
- All books are selected by the student.
- Select good fit books at your reading level. Use your DRA book graph as your guide and NWEA reading RIT score.
- Use your Reading notebook to respond to your reading.
- Each quarter you will be asked to present a “book talk” in front of the class for a grade.
- Each week I will ask you about what you are reading, which books you have added to your list, which books you abandoned, and which ones you plan to read next.
- Every Friday, you will turn in a completed Reading List.
