Good afternoon,

Hope this message finds you all well! I’m reaching out in another attempt to emphasize the importance of logging in daily to complete assignments. I have over 50% of students who have not completed a single task. Thank you so much to the students and families that have, your efforts are greatly appreciated!! Keep up the good work and I miss you all❤️
Please make sure your child is putting in time on Raz-Kids and Zearn for daily reading and math practice. Both these resources are perfectly aligned with our standards. In an effort to support you, I have set up a google voice number where I can be reached should you have any questions or concerns.

Have a great weekend!

Chromebooks will be available to families at William Ford who do not have a computer or tablet in their home. On Thursday, William Ford will host a “drive-through” Chromebook pick-up following the schedule below. These Chromebooks are ONLY on loan and need to be ONLY for families without any computers and/or tablets. William Ford will issue ONE computer per household IF they do not have a computer, not per student. These are only to be borrowed and due back to school when school begins again. Parents will be completely liable and responsible for the upkeep, maintenance and condition of the Chromebook, including full replacement of the Chromebook if broken.

Pick-up Schedule: Come to the Pick-up Time below of your oldest child at William Ford. (Ie. If you have a 4^th and 1^st grader, come to the time for 4^th grader)

· Fourth and Fifth Graders – 11:00-11:30

· Second and Third Graders – 11:30-12:00

· Kindergarten and First Graders – 12:00-12:30

Pick-up Directions:

Come to the time of your oldest child above. Park along on Alber Street. Stop at a Yellow Cone and wait for a staff member to come to your car. No need to leave your car. Parents in the car will be given a clipboard to fill out a contract that a school Chromebook has been borrowed. While you fill out the contract, a staff member will get a Chromebook for your family. The Chromebook is to be returned the day students return to school.

Speech and Language Activities 3/16/2020

Dear Parents,

Here is a list of ideas to help your children develop their speech and language skills while we are off:

Speech and Language Home Suggestions for Emergencies Handout

Play a game where you hide something and give your child specific directions on how to find it (i.e. Go up the stairs. Turn right and walk to 10 steps. Look behind the pillow.) Then have your child take a turn hiding something and giving you specific directions.

Play a game where you describe an item and have your child guess what you are talking about. Then have your child take a turn describing an item for you to guess.

Write a sentence, cut the words apart, mix up the words, and have your child put the words in order.

Have your child name all the items they can think of that fit in a category (i.e. fruits, vegetables, etc)

Ask your child imagination questions (i.e. if you were a bird, what would you see when you are flying)

Have your child make up a story.

Have your child tell you how two things are alike and how two things are different (i.e. an apple & a banana; a fork & spoon; a car and a motorcycle)

Simon Says

Headbandz game (use it for describing items together, turn-taking, predictions – you can write down what the other person says to help you find out what item you have on your head)

Make a treasure hunt for the kids to find fun toys or snacks

Name a shape and have your child go around the house and find things that are that shape

Place objects from around the house (i.e.: spoon, crayon) in a pillow case or bag and have your child describe to you what each object is using specific characteristics (i.e. size, shape, color, parts, location, group it belongs to)

Have your child follow directions to work on prepositions (i.e.: in, on, over, under) with your child’s favorite toy. Tell your child to place the toy “under” the chair or “in” the box. After, have them work on their expressive language by having them create the direction using a preposition.

Wall Bop – Put each alphabet letter on a sticky note and put them on a wall or door. Have the kids throw a beanbag at them. Whatever letter they get, they have to name the letter and something that starts with that letter.

HearBuilder Online Free Trial Hear Builder is a great way for your child to work on following directions, phonological awareness, auditory memory, and sequencing.
