Welcome to my iBlog!  I have been a resource teacher at Becker for 22 years.  I work closely with ELL students (English Language Learners) in all grades.  Also, I co-teach writing, mostly in grades 3-5. My door is always open to teachers, parents, and students.  Feel free to contact me via email at khalili@dearbornschools.org or by phone at (313) 827-7696.  I am looking forward to partnering with you and instructing your kids.

There’s a new program that will pay up to $500 in utility costs for Michigan’s essential workers. THAW, or The Heat and Warm Fund, will pay up to $500 in utility assistance for any household with an income up to 250% of the Federal Poverty Level. Following the Department of Homeland Security’s definition of an essential worker, if you’re a health care nurse, hospital cleaning and maintenance worker, grocery and foodservice clerk, or bus driver, you qualify.
