We are learning about context clues in Language Arts this month. Here is a fun video and activity for you to do with your child. Stay safe!
Online Book Fair
Nowlin will be having a virtual Book Fair, starting April 20th. Check it out!
Welcome back!
I hope everyone had a relaxing Spring break. Here are some activities your student can work on this week. We will be getting more information this week, about expectations going forward. Stay safe!
Spring Break
Next week is Spring Break! During these stressful times, try to use next week to relax, unwind, and enjoy spending time with your loved ones. I miss you all. Mrs. Moorhaus
Phases of the Moon
Thomas Paine-Common Sense

Hello, wonderful families! Today’s social studies lesson is about Thomas Paine and his work “Common Sense.” After watching the video, your child can click on the link, to complete a fill-in-the-blank activity. Enjoy!
Picture graphs
Our new math standard for April is about graphs. Here is a video and activity about picture graphs. Have fun! Mrs. Moorhaus
Getting along with others
As we are all spending more time at home with our families, I thought a couple of stories about getting along might be good to share. The first story is about friends getting along, and the second story is about siblings getting along. After watching with your child, you could compare/contrast the two stories. Hope everyone is doing well! Mrs. Moorhaus

At home schoolwork/food distribution
Hello, wonderful families. I am attaching at home work that your student can do. Again, there are two different levels, depending on your student’s ability. As always, please reach out to me if you have any questions or concerns. Mrs. Moorhaus
Information on food distribution:
On Monday, March 30, Dearborn Public Schools is changing the format of its free student meal distributions.
Meals will now be distributed three times a week, instead of five.
Meals will generally be distributed on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays. However, the week of April 6 to 10, meals will be handed out on Monday, Wednesday and Thursday. Friday, April 10, is Good Friday and a holiday for District staff.
Fewer meal distributions should make it easier for families to get the food while reducing the risk of virus exposure for both our families and our staff. Each food bag will still contain both breakfast, lunch and milk for a child under 18, but now the bag will have food for each day until the next distribution.
The grab-and-go meals will continue to be handed out between 10 a.m. and noon at the same seven schools. The Dearborn Schools student does not have to attend that school to be eligible for a meal. A designated person can pick up meals for multiple children. The student does not need to be present.
The distribution sites are Fordson, Dearborn and Edsel Ford high schools; McCollough/Unis; Salina Intermediate; Smith Middle School; and Woodworth Middle School.
The program is allowing the District’s 20,700 students to continue to have access to healthy food. The meals are funded through the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s School Lunch Program. Dearborn Public Schools already used the federal program to offer all kindergarten to 12th grade students free lunch and breakfast on school days.
Meal distributions will continue through the state-ordered school closure. Currently, schools are set to reopen on April 14.
