Parents,

Thank you for your help and support with the first week of At Home Learning! You are extremely important and the key element in supporting your child’s learning from home.

I hope you and your family are safe enjoying family time. I have been social distancing. The hardest is to not hug my parents. They are both in their 80’s, active, and healthy.

Hug your kids for me! I miss their smiling faces, jokes and stories:)

If your child is behind, the weekend is a great time for them to catch-up.

Have a GREAT weekend!

Parents,

Please monitor your child’s learning. They should be following the fourth grade At Home Learning calendar. If they fall behind, it will be difficult for them to catch-up. From all the experts, it’s best to form a routine as close to the regular school day as possible.

Thank you for all the help and support you are providing your child. Together, we make a great team!

Parents,

It is important your child follows the At Home Learning calendar for fourth grade.

The Dearborn Public Schools have asked teachers to contact parents if their child is not completing tasks; therefore, I will email you every evening if your child has not completed their daily activities. We do not want your child to fall behind during this unusual time.

Several students have emailed me with questions. Encourage your child to email me if they have questions or just want to chat.

Take Care and Be Safe!

At Home Learning Calendar

At Home Learning Monday, March 16

The At Home Learning calendar contains independent, grade level activities students should be able to complete on their own. Parents, students will need your help in the following ways: answer questions, help generate ideas, etc.

I have reset everyone’s Zearn lessons to 12. (Don’t Forget Bonus) The At Home Learning calendar is designed for students to do one lesson a day with Succeed pages. Please do not do multiple lessons in one day. Complete all Succeed math problems for each lesson. We have completed some problems in class/partner work.

If students have an extra spiral notebook, they can complete their chapter book reading activities in that spiral. If not, staple all activities at the end of each week.

Today, I will check Readworks and Zearn at 4:00. If any student has not completed one or both by 4:00, I will contact parents via email.

Have a GREAT day! Remember, I’m only an email away. Students can email me if they have any questions or just want to chat.
