We are slightly behind on the homework calendar for math due to the field trip this week. Students should have up to math lesson 7 completed. I hope to get us back on schedule next week 😊 Please continue to initial the calendar on week nights your student reads.
Have a wonderful weekend!
We are all looking forward to the canoe trip tomorrow! Please check the weather in the morning for the Milford area and dress accordingly. Don’t forget to pack a sack lunch!
Please check your students home folder for a print out of their NWEA scores. I have also placed a letter regarding Khan Academy in your students home folder. If you have any questions please email me at jinna@dearbornschools.org
Thank you so much to all the families who attended the open house it was such a joy getting to meet with you all. I want to touch on a few things as we welcome the weekend and look forward to next week.
Math:
I was out unexpectedly on Thursday because of this I don’t expect students to complete Lesson 4 as math homework over the weekend. So far students are keeping up with turning in math homework. If math homework becomes a struggle for you and your student please reach out to me for help.
Reading:
Please continue to initial the homework calendars on weeknights your student reads for at least 15 minutes, I check these every Friday. Reading nightly helps to set your child up for success. Students start library check out this coming Tuesday and are also welcome to check out books from our classroom library. I encourage you to read with your students by taking turns reading or have them read aloud to you.
NWEA:
We completed NWEA testing this week in the areas of language, reading, and math. I will begin working with students in small groups for focused instruction in math and reading. Keep an eye out for your students NWEA scores this coming week.
MStep:
The results of the MStep from fourth grade have been placed in your students home folder.
Orchestra & Band:
Orchestra will begin on Tuesday and Band will begin on Thursday. You still have time to turn in your instrument choices and payment or first installment next week.
Canoe Trip:
The canoe trip is this coming Thursday. If you would still like to go please turn in your permission slip and payment on Monday.
