Week of April 20- 24

Dear Families,

I can only hope that we are all finding ways to adjust to this temporary new normal. I hope that you are finding time to do fun things at home with your kiddos while also finding time for yourself. Please do not hesitate to ask me if you need help or support of any kind. We will begin our virtual learning again this week for the rest of the school year. I will be sending out 3 activities/ day for you and your child. These activities will focus on skills we work on in class and will be short. Also we will have Field Trip Friday’s (virtually). Make sure you do the activities with your child and contact me if you need any assistance. Please make sure you continue to check the iBlog and Remind for updates. Also it is very important that you have subscribed to Cotter’s iBlog.

What We are Learning This Week-

Names-
We have taken the next step and begun writing our first and last names. Please continue to practice recognizing the letters in your child’s name and the order in which they go (Rajaa- R-a-j-a-a). Remember, only the first letter in their name is a capital, all the rest are lowercase (Rajaa).  Please help your child learn their last name along with how to spell it and writing it.

Reminders- 

*  Please subscribe to Cotter’s iBlog so you can be informed over the next couple weeks. Here is the link https://cotter.dearbornschools.org/

*  Please check Remind daily as I will be sending out daily activities for you and your child. Each day you will be sent 3 activities to do and most of the activities are very short and easy. Friday’s will be Field Trip Friday (virtually). Please let me know if you need any help or have any questions.

* Please send me pictures through Remind of your child doing the activities! I would love to see their learning at home.

* I know that many families have a lot going on during this time and school may not necessarily be the first thing on your mind. Remember that doing the activities shared will help keep your child active in learning and keeping them on a schedule will also help you. Please if you have any questions, I am available Monday- Friday from 8:00- 3:00 (regular school hours). You can contact me through Remind or email at kolink@dearbornschools.org with any questions or concerns you may have. Thank you.
