Dr. Maleyko’s Message

Please make sure your child is listening to The Wishtree videos, posted as links to my youtube channel in the Wishtree page at the top of my blog. We will be finishing that book this week and beginning a new novel next week!

To help with technology, we will have additional chromebook pick up days. The first day is scheduled for Monday, April 27th from 1:00-3:30pm. Any family that is interested needs to complete the survey below in order to receive a Chromebook . This survey provides us with the number of Chromebooks that our volunteers will need to clean and prep. We are very pleased to be able to offer this technology for your families! CLICK HERE TO TAKE THE TECHNOLOGY SURVEY.

So, this week marks a bit of a transition to a new format of learning for our students. The superintendent sent out information with updated guidelines that can be found on his blog. Click here for Dr. Maleyko’s blog. As a result, I will be checking in with students and families to ensure that students are completing work and making progress on assignments. I have also noted in the Essential Remote Learning Plan the times that I will be available to answer email questions/concerns from parents/guardians.

You are all doing an AMAZING job! I want to congratulate all of my students and parents for the support and effort over these past few weeks. It has been stressful and yet, there have been moments of fun. I will continue to work with you all to make sure that your child’s last quarter of third grade is the best that it can be. Thank you for the work you are doing to make this historical moment a time of learning and of coming together.

Spring Break Begins!

Dearborn has Spring Break scheduled through April 4-13. Take this time to enjoy some fun together. If your child is behind on their assignments, this is the time to catch up!

So, we’ve all had to find things to do to make each day fun (and maybe avoid some boredom). Hopefully, you’ve been able to work on schoolwork, do some GoNoodle and get outside every day. We want to know what your favorite activity has been! Head over to google classroom and snap some pictures to include of your favorite fun pastimes!

Slide Show!

Vacation!

Next week, we have Spring Break Vacation scheduled, so you will have a week off from blog posts and assignments to work on. Enjoy a break from the computer screen and have fun!

Today, our theme is “Sock it to Corona”. Post a photo of you in your craziest, wackiest, most favorite socks! You’ll find the assignment “Sock it to Corona”. Link to Google Classroom

Google Hangout today!

Also, today is the day we are going to be doing our virtual Community Circle! The community circle will be held from 11:30-12:00. Just head on over to Google Classroom and you’ll find the link to add yourself to the Google Hangout. Slide Show

During the circle hangout, we will all be miked, so it’s important that we have a signal for speaking. If you have something to say, you’ll need to raise your hand and then I’ll call on you. Make sure that you try to set up in a quiet space because we will hear everything that is going on in the background! If you want to wear headphones so you can hear better, you can do that. I’m excited to hear from everyone!

Today’s challenge is to upload a photo of yourself reading! You can be reading an actual book, online, or on a reading device! Mr. Joachim surprised me with an e-reader for my birthday so here is me reading a new informational text about the history of the banjo! Pretty interesting stuff! In your slide, make sure you type in a quick blurb about your book. You may see some books that look interesting to you and that will give you an idea for your next good read!
