Online Learning

There is 4 more weeks left of the school year. Our last day is June 11th. All assignments will be posted on google classroom. I will provide updates through classdojo. Let me know if you have any questions!

Friday, April 3rd

As most of us already know, Governor Whitmer has made the decision to close schools for the remainder of the school year unless the COVID-19 cases really drop. I know this decision is for the best to keep all of us safe but I will miss seeing your children’s smiling faces. We will continue distance learning after Spring Break. I will not post any assignments next week. Please have your child read for 20-30 minutes everyday.

Don’t forget about the Reading Bingo Board!

Wednesday, April 1

We made it to April! The weather is getting warmer, the days are getting longer. April is one of my favorite months of the year (and it is not just because it is my birthday month). April is all about the start of something new. a rebirth. That is how we should all view this month.

Our wonderful social worker Ms. Jenn has a survey to see what our family needs our. Please do not hesitate to reach out to her if you need any support. lallj@dearbornschools.org

I have sent everyone a link to activate classdojo portfolio. This feature can be seen on a computer. With this feature, your child can submit work to me and it will be saved! I have assigned a spring writing. There is also a reading log. Your child can record themselves reading.

Today my family and I made homemade bagels. This was very simply but fun. Below is the recipe I used. I did not have self rising flour so I made my own (1 cup of all purpose flour, 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder)

Happy Throwback Thursday! Today, you are to send me a picture of your child as a baby! I am working on a slide show of the pictures I am receiving throughout the week. I will share the slide show on Monday! If you have pictures you would like to have a part of it, please e-mail them to me. harrisv@dearbornschools.org

Even with the state mandated Stay at Home order, you and your family can still enjoy time outside. On nice days, have your child play in the backyard, use sidewalk chalk (if you have it), go on a walk. If something special happens, your child can write about it or you can send me a picture. I would love to see how all of you are doing. I miss seeing all of your children everyday! They are so special!
