Extra Help :)
Good evening, I appreciate those who are reading and staying up to date on my posts. I know their have been a lot, I just want to make sure to keep everyone updated and do all I can!
Below are two links, one is a link to a one-on-one remote learning video conference sign up sheet. I want to be able to help as much as I can, so I thought giving everyone a chance for a one-on-one session with me would help!
Parents and students, talk with each other to find a good day and time that works for you, and sign up! Parents this is for you too, if you are stuck on how to explain a concept I can help, if a student is stuck on a certain problem I can help, anything you need I am here to help 🙂
The second link are extra resources for everyone! These resources are great to use for learning and my favorite saying…. growing our brains! If you feel you need extra help on a subject or concept, visit the links provided! They will help you as well 🙂

News/Updates
Dear parents:
In this challenging situation , we, the staff at Oakman, are working hard to assist our students in mitigating any learning loss, and doing our best to keep things in their normal pace as if school days are on! We understand that everyone is under some kind of pressure and have a different way of dealing with this challenge. We will continue to offer our students the best possible opportunities to learn and stay mentally connected. We also understand the huge role you play as a parent/ Guardian. Without your guidance, most of these learning opportunities will serve as a time filler only . We encourage you to stay positive and to help your child/ children do the best they can when it comes to digital learning. Remember that your children will look up to you as the sound of reason in these confusing times! Let’s work together to help our students , your children, stay ahead of the game and if not ahead, let’s keep them as close as possible. This only works if we did this as a team – one part is school ( digitally) and the other part is home (you guiding and assisting your children through remote learning). Please know that we’ll post start and end time for the digital work to motivate students to complete not to stress you. We also will give our students a chance to catch up with the work twice a week. May God help us all in navigating through this challenging and difficult time. And please remember that we can overcome this by practicing safe measures and by helping each other!
Best regards,
Oakman Staff
Happy Friday!
Good morning, Happy Friday!
Today is a catch up day, any assignments you did not complete make sure you do so today.
Here were all of the assignments posted throughout the week:
Math: Monday (Zearn lesson #1), Tuesday (Zearn lesson #2), Wednesday (Zearn lesson #3), Thursday (Zearn lesson #4). Make sure you have completed all 4 Zearn lessons. Each lesson has multiple activities in it, you have to complete all activities to finish the lesson. The activities in each lesson are: Number Gym, Blast, Math Chat, Tower of Power, and Bonus. Once you have completed all of those activities, that is when you know you have finished a full lesson.
Reading: The readworks article that was posted on monday is due today, make sure you have read it all and completed the comprehension questions. ALL Study Island assignments are due today as well, here are the reading study island assignments that were posted each day: Monday (Main Idea), Tuesday (Summarize), Wednesday (Structures), and Thursday (Academic Words). Make sure you have completed all of them, remember there is a goal of 80% for each assignment, make sure you reach that goal for ALL assignments.
Writing: You should have written 4 writing prompts this week. If you did not do so, make sure you do that today. Remember for writing, you have to physically write this out, I DO NOT want you sending me a writing prompt over google documents. REMEMBER each writing you need to have at least 5-7 sentences.
Here were the writing prompts for this week:
Monday (What do you do best? It can be an activity, a part of your personality or a special talent you have. Tell what it is and why you do it well.)
Tuesday (You need to create a leprechaun trap in order to catch the elusive creature who is supposed to visit your classroom. How are you going to design your trap? What supplies are you going to use? Where will you place it in hopes of catching the little green man who may be carrying four-leafed clovers?),
Wednesday (Something I’d like to be better at…)
Thursday (If I could live in any state…).
Science: For science this week, you should have completed both study island assignments, Monday (Changes in Landforms) and Tuesday (Weathering and Erosion). Remember you have a goal of 80%, make sure you reach that goal for each assignment. Also, you should have completed both BrainPop units, “Space Flight” and “International Space Station.” If you have not completed any of the units make sure you do so today.
Social Studies: There were two assignments posted for this week, you should have completed both. Monday (Constitutional Principles of American Government) and Tuesday (Structures and Functions of Government). Remember you have an 80% passing goal, make sure you have reached that goal for each assignment.
Spelling: You have a spelling test today, make sure you have a family member give you a test today. I want you to physically write out your spelling test, DO NOT send it to me over google documents. Have your family member grade it and send me a spelling test selfie 🙂
Make sure you are completing these assignments, these are to help you continue to grow your brain. I know this is a difficult time for all of us; however, I want you to be able to get as much learning as you can. Please do not spend all day on the computer, make sure you are taking breaks.
Here are your ROAR announcements:
Here is a very interesting brain break:

Have a fantastic Friday! TGIF! 🙂
Oakman Chromebooks!
Dear Oakman families,
This is definitely a tough and strange time for all of us! However, we can’t give up or give in ! We need to be resilient and benefit from the time as much as possible . All Oakman teachers will continue to provide online learning enrichment to all students. We highly encourage you to take advantage of this opportunity in order to keep our students abreast with their learning. Dearborn Public Schools has been super active in this and offering all students multiple venues to be an active learner. For the past two days, chrome books were prepared and loaned out to families
( 1 per family) if they needed it. Tomorrow Friday March 20, 2020 @ 11:30, we’ll do our last distribution of chrome books to any family who didn’t get the chance to get one yet. Please take advantage of this offer and stop by the school starting at 11:30 AM – door # 10 off Orchard street to pick up a device for your children who attend Oakman school. We ask that you bring a state ID with you and also to remain in your car and a teacher volunteer will hand you the chrome book. Please be advised that quantities are limited and will given on a first come first serve basis. If you had obtained a chrome book, we kindly ask you not to request another one. Thank you and please stay safe.
