Market Day involves fourth graders creating a company that produces goods and services. Third graders and family are welcome to purchase the items. The products range from painted rocks and stress balls to robots, ice cream floats, and nail painting.

Please take a look at your child’s folder to find the March’s Reading Month Packet! Inside you will find many activities that you can do at home during this Month. We will also be doing many reading activities in the classroom.

Recently, students have been placed in a book club. I will be meeting with each group each week. All groups are expected to bring their books home and to school every day. There will be reading homework assigned with the book they are reading. Please allow this reading time to count as their 30 minutes of reading each day. Students can use their book club book for their weekly reading log.

If you have any questions, please email me at vuichaa@dearbornschools.org
