What should I turn in to the teachers: 

Please return the reading log, daily writing page, and reading response if you are not using freckle where we can track their progress and reading. You can simply write down the date and time logged for reading on a piece of paper. Please practice writing daily! Focus on capitals, spacing, and letter formation and punctuation. Most students were up to 3-4 sentences before all of this happened.

As always, stay safe and be well my families! Missing everyone!

I hope this post finds you and your family in perfect health. During our home days, your child will be expected to maintain learning online. I have provided assignments on Freckle for math and ELA. I also included additional sites that will help with foundational skills and skills practice in math. Please continue reading, even if online, and writing in response to reading. These times require us to change the way we conduct our normalcy, so please do your very best. I am thinking of you and the children and missing our days together. This is temporary and we will persevere! I will be checking emails throughout the day and you may send any inquiries through kibilks@dearbornschools.org. OR if your child would like to send an email to me that would be wonderful, too! 🙂 Take care and be well my families!!!
